Looks like Cockeyed.com has an east-coast counterpart: All Too Flat. I’m thinking there should be a midwest contingent.
People Suck
This is one of the reasons why I hate people: Excuses people give for getting rid of their animals. “hurts its owner’s legs when it wags its tail”
Some people should just be shot.
Supreme Court Strikes Down Sodomy Laws
WASHINGTON — The Supreme Court struck down a ban on gay sex Thursday, ruling that the law was an unconstitutional violation of privacy.
The 6-3 ruling reverses course from a ruling 17 years ago that states could punish homosexuals for what such laws historically called deviant sex.
Laws forbidding homosexual sex, once universal, now are rare. Those on the books are rarely enforced but underpin other kinds of discrimination, lawyers for two Texas men had argued to the court.
The men “are entitled to respect for their private lives,” Kennedy wrote.
The first March on Washington on October 11, 1987 was in protest of the Supreme Court upholding a similar law in Georgia. That was just after I came out, and was the first big gay rights event I went to. I was still in college at Ball State, and it was one of the most cathartic events of my life.
Spike Jones’ protesting Spike Lee
Spike Jones is concerned that Spike Lee is suing Spike TV over use of the name “Spike.” My dog agrees, and is suggesting I contact Spike TV in support, next. He also thinks he should be the Spike TV mascot.
Top ten queerest straight people
Via the New York Press: “New York’s 10 queerest straight folk.”
As more and more gay men and lesbians strive to become virtually normal—married, house in the suburbs, 2.5 children and wood-paneled station wagon—it’s worth pointing out that heterosexuals possessing queerness probably exhibit more tendencies once thought of as “gay” than many gay people.

People’s Temple
I’ve heard tons of conflicting reports about where in the downtown area the Jim Jones “people’s temple” church was located. It was somewhere in Old Northside Neighborhood, or in Herron-Morton Place. According to a recent report by the Indianapolis Star, it was located at 15th and North New Jersey street. And it’s for sale.
Attractive Friends
One thing you can say about Rob Cockerman (actually there are a lot of things you could say about him, all of them nice) is that he has some really attractive friends and family members.
World Disapproves of Bush, Iraq war
REUTERS: A majority of people around the world view President Bush unfavorably and think the United States was wrong to invade Iraq, according to a BBC poll published on Monday. — Look at the list of countries that think the USA is more of a threat to the world than Iran, Korea, Syria and the Al Qaeda.
Walmart’s “Big Brother” Technology
Courtesy of my friend Lori, — UPC symbols are being replaced by RFID tracking chips in some items, which will help stores track individual products as they are carried around in the store. Which means that when you decide you don’t want that [item x] and take it out of your cart and set on any old shelf in the store, they’ll be able to find it and put it back where it goes. It’s possible that the technology could be used to track other things, like what you carry into the store with you if the tracker is still on it, but those issues are far in the future.
Iraqi “liberation”
The Iraqis are so much better off now that we’ve liberated them, that they’re stealing the zoo animals to cook for food. Yeah for America.
