Of Course
Last year Starbucks drew the ire of Christians because they seemed to be be eager to celebrate Christmas without, you know, Christmas. This year, it's a new twist. Apparently they want to celebrate Christmas with an LGBT message. Way to go, Starbucks. To all the Christians out there who are getting ready to leap onto the boycott wagon, relax. You can't expect a non-Christian corporation to be Christian. Be real.
Assault Weapons
Another case of deaths by assault weapons. One border patrol agent was killed and his partner was injured by rocks thrown by undocumented aliens (who are not criminals or illegal, they tell us). Of course, no one used the term "assault weapons", but surely if someone uses rocks to kill someone that would qualify as a weapon for assault, right?
People who cross the border illegally are criminals by definition. People who kill others are criminals by definition. We should honor those who risk their lives to keep our country safe, especially those who die to do it, like Agent Rogelio Martinez.
A Strange "Abrahamic Religion"
Convicted killer Cecil Koger is suing Ohio for cutting his dreadlocks. It is a violation of his constitutional rights. Because, you see, he's Rastafarian and Rastafarianism requires dreadlocks. The funny thing is they term Rastafarianism (which came about in the 1930's) as an "Abrahamic religion" because, as everyone knows, Abraham also had to wear dreadlocks.
I'm guessing that he'll win his "right to the free exercise of religion" suit even though Christians can't. Go figure.
Somebody's Gonna Pay
What happened in Las Vegas that awful October 1st night was a crime and a tragedy. Fifty-eight people dead and 546 injured. But justice was served when the killer killed himself. Or not. Now, apparently, somebody's going to pay. A lawsuit "on behalf of 450 people injured or present" -- because being present at something like that is enough to require payment -- is aimed at the deep pockets of the MGM Resorts and Mandalay Corporation for failing to anticipate and eliminate the threat. Apparently it is the job of the hotel to closely monitor guest activities. We'll see how that goes ... for the lawyers, the plaintiffs, the hotel industry in Vegas and everywhere else, and the guests who find themselves being closely monitored.

Liberal Lisa Ling does a documentary series for CNN. Tonight's installment was something of a test of her feminist loyalties. She says she "never went to a beauty pageant, and never wanted to," because the swimsuit competition "objectifies women." But in fact she had a smile on her face as she watched photographers snapping photos of people in swimsuits, because the photographic models were in fact contestants in a week-long transgender pageant, and who are cis people to tell them they shouldn't do what pleases them?
