Haha! I remember at the old boards someone brought up extremely homophobic congressman Aaron Schock (who is cute, though) and the way he dressed and decorated his office in a Downton Abbey theme went to show that he was just extremely closeted (still is). Girl ain't foolin anybody though! Well he resigned amid controversy of improper expenses including that he billed 170,000 miles worth of mileage but the car he ended up selling only had 80,000 miles, 90,000 miles less than what he expensed off.

Girl bye!

I guess this means Schock will have to settle for taking a job with a right-wing think tank where he will make 5 times or so what he did as a U.S. Representative.

For real, but I thought you had to be born in the US (or maybe also on an American military base outside the US) to be able to run for President? So...since he was born in Calgary, can he really run?

I'm pretty sure the city of Calgary will pretend he wasn't born there. Ottawa once gave a hospital to the Netherlands so a princess could be born there.

^Pretty much sums it up. I would hope the conservative patriots would see through a hypocrite denouncing his own nationality. That's not very 'Murican!

^That article pretty much sums up how Cruz is going to play it. It's funny he claims to be a "natural citizen" (the tricky wording used in the law as well) due to his mom being American, yet Obama, who was actually born in America to an American woman is Kenyan? I guess Cruz can pass for white so it's okay for him.

The plane that crashed into the Alps was crashed deliberately by the co-pilot, who kept the pilot locked out of the cockpit while the passengers on board all screamed.

I read about that earlier today, although it was confirmed. How awful.

What's funny about this Indiana turn-away-the-gays bill is that even if it wasn't about that (which it is), why would people of faith need their religious liberty protected in particular in the first place. They are the least likely to have anything ever happen that would infringe on their religious liberty. Whatevs.
