Court agrees that San Diego firefighters were sexually harassed after being forced by their homosexual chief to participating in a so-called “gay pride” parade:

Four San Diego firefighters filed suit against the city in 2009 and won in the case surrounding their forced participation in a 2007 “gay pride” parade. The city, however, appealed that decision — and Alliance Defense Fund attorney Joe Infranco tells OneNewsNow that the appellate court agreed Thursday with the lower court.

Joe Infranco (ADF)”[The court found] that they had been sexually harassed by the city’s compelling them to take part in a so-called ‘gay pride’ parade — and they said essentially the city of San Diego did not have a right to force these firefighters to take part,” the attorney summarizes.

Contrary to what we’ve been told, it seems that there’s more to this than just a quest for equal rights:

“They were subject for three hours to hundreds and hundreds of lewd gestures [and] cat calls,” he explains. “They saw people gyrating and pantomiming sex acts, and wearing [sexually graphic] outfits and engaging in behavior…that would be embarrassing to discuss.”

Homer Simpson ‘is a true Catholic’

He is an idle, pea-brained glutton with a permanent craving for doughnuts and Duff beer, but Homer Simpson has been declared a true Catholic by the Vatican’s official newspaper.

Well, there you have it.

#59 mharper42,

Thanks for the info. I think I’m going to stick with either the WD (like you) or Seagate brands. I started looking at some cheaper brands but the reviews were a little iffy. The iomega reviews seem to indicate that they come loaded with a bunch of bloatware, so I’ll skip that unnecessary headache.

Well, if thieves stole the truck, they can’t just drive it over the border. They would have to offload it onto another truck and fabricate the paperwork. Not so easy.

It could, however, be transhipped anywhere in the USA with minimal false documentation and resold.

The only real down side is that the USB cable has to be pretty short (~12-16 inches). That seems to be pretty standard with them.

I can see four of the six RCP toss-up senate races easily going GOP. That would make it a 50-50 tie. How much you wanna bet Ben Nelson switches parties? Even worse for the Democrat party, 20 of the 31 senators up in 2012 are Democrats.

Perceived implications (and obvious inspirations for satire) aside, I think Ms. O’Donnell is reasonably intelligent, completely sincere, and has a nurtured and well developed talent for expressing herself. She is spontaneous, shoots from the hip, and needs no teleprompter. She also has an ability to appear very “natural” on stage that I admire and aspired to achieve in the live… Read more »

I made that comment because your post had a fairly condescending tone, implying that she was some sort of nut for believing the way she does. I was merely pointing out that her view is held by a very large number of people in this country, whether they actually behave that way or not.

The poll (based on a small but respectable 319 person sample, with a margin of error of 5.6 percent, weighted to eliminate gender bias) shows Kucinich ahead of his opponent, Peter Corrigan, by only 4 percent

With a sample that small and an MOE of dam near 6 percent, that ain’t a poll—its a WAG.
