they should get a league of their own...amiright!?

An Arizona Catholic high school baseball team is forfeiting the state championship because they feel it's inappropriate to compete with the opposing team's single female player.

"Teaching our boys to treat ladies with deference, we choose not to place them in an athletic competition where proper boundaries can only be respected with difficulty ... Our school aims to instill in our boys a profound respect for women and girls."

OYR, respect them back into the kitchen!

The school, Our Lady of Sorrows, is representative of an ultra traditionalist sect of the Catholic Church known as the Society of Saint Pius X.

ugh. shut UP bristol palin!

The other night I was telling Kiki that I was not excited about the impending media shit storm that would follow Barack Obama's NBD statement about same-sex marriage rights (which we all already knew he privately supported since 1996).  This is a prime example of what I was talking about:

Bristol Palin, perennial victim of the "liberal media" as the daughter of a former Republican vice presidential candidate, wrote a blog post criticizing Obama's daughters, parenting skills and position of same-sex marriage.  Meanwhile, the PlayBoy posing father of her out of wed-lock baby is having another out-of-wedlock baby, with another woman, and planning to name it Breeze Beretta-after the brand of gun.  For fuck's sake.  Know when to let it go!

you're welcome.

An interesting tidbit from the Atlantic shows why poor states in the US don't drag down the entire US economy the way that poor countries in the European Union do. Basically, states like New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, Illinois, and California get back about $0.75 per dollar they pay to the federal government in taxes, whereas states like Kansas, Tennessee and Missouri (probably Alabama, Mississippi and Georiga as well) get back anywhere from $1.10-1.30 for every dollar they pay in federal taxes. Basically, Tennessee is the Greece of the United States.

As our country hopelessly slides into the godless pit of homosexuality, I think we all need to stop and thank North Carolina for making doubly sure that unholy unions like this don't take place:
