While I deplored the “swift boating” and the ads about flip-flopping during the 2004 election I think it would be just desserts if someone with money started plaster the television with Rudy Giulianis now apparent flip-flop on the issue of civil unions.  As the old saying goes, “Turnabout is fair play.”

You have to give credit to Lt. Colonel Paul Yingling for taking the president and his superior officers to task for basically rubber stamping the war in Iraq.  The military is not fond of outspokenness of this nature, especially from its active duty officers.  Colonel Yingling just might find himself on the receiving end of a nasty reprimand.  The article itself is a little dry, but still worth a read.

Lawyers in India are calling the arrest warrant issued against Richard Gere for his rather over-the-top kiss ridiculous, and well they should.  An obscenity law that arrests people for kissing in public just because a small minority does not like it is not only ridiculous, but backward and stupid.  And no, this is not a slam on the people of India or their faith.  If this was happening in America I would say the same thing.
