“All day long I caught glimpses of the headlines that it was a big controversy but when I finally got around to reading what she said, it was no big deal,” I say. “She certainly was more articulate than that Such As The Iraq chick from a couple years ago.”
Mom and me don’t agree on gay marriage.
I believe that gay men and women should have the right to enter into the joyful misery of marriage. Mom believes that marriage is between a man and woman.
This is okay.
We live in the United States and, the last time I checked, expressing our opinions is still legal. Miss California spoke from her heart on an extremely controversial topic and she’s being vilified for it. Some say it even cost her the crown. Or sash. Or whatever the fuck they give these bright-eyed, bikini’d broads.
Let’s be honest here: The only reason this ‘controversy’ made headlines is because of that moron Perez Hilton, who is known for nothing more than drawing ugly comments on celebrity photos. He called her a bitch because he didn’t like her answer and that’s why this whole thing turned into a tempest in a tit storm.Whether he realizes it or not, Perez Hilton is just like Sean Hannity and Rush Limbaugh and that frighteningly unstable Glenn Beck dude.
Every day they look for any excuse to be angry or upset in order to win headlines for themselves. And the less attention they get – the more hysterical they act. Their idiotic behavior always overshadows the issue, whether it's gay marriage or the military's use of torture.
These media hacks could use what limited power and influence they have to bring people together – to help people from all sides of an issue be reasonable and respectful of each other – and make a difference in the world.
Instead, they stir the pot, only to keep the light shining on them and their ridiculous personalities for just a little while longer.
I don't give a shit if you're gay or Republican, do all of us a favor: If you don't have something intelligent or meaningful to add to the debate, shut the fuck up. Or grow up and start acting like a real American.

Now the decision is, do I know as much as I want to know from your post, or do I have to read the articles linked to the headlines I ignored this week?
Here's my bet as to the story. The contestant isn't on the side of gays and the Hilton guy slammed her.
You know where to send my award for deductive reasoning.
I echo your post... nothing to add.

Dave's deductive award should be one of those giant calabash pipes ole' Sherlock Holmes always manhandled: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Sherlock_holmes_pipe_hat.jpg
And big bag of Grommie poop should be sent to the likes of Perez Hilton: big fat poop slinger!
As it turns out, I suppose I should have tied the title to the post and not exposed my flawed reasoning.
