Perez v. Miss California

I'm all for gay marriage and wished that Miss California was as well. But fair is fair. If Miss California Carrie Prejean's stance on gay marriage is enough to trash talk her, why isn't Perez Hilton taking on President Obama who has said that he "believe[s] that marriage is between a man and a woman."

He says it here again.

But he also says that he's for the separate-but-equal civil union. We know that separate but equal doesn't work.

NJ: Tackling the important issues of our times

Who cares about 9% unemployment, a pension system on the verge of collapse and the highest taxes in the country when there are important issues like Brazilian gential waxing for the state to be concerned with:
The N.J. state Board of Cosmetology and Hairstyling met Tuesday, [April 14, 2009,] in Newark to resume discussion of a ban on bare-it-all "Brazilian" waxing treatments, which is set to go into effect on April 25. Last month, after a public furor raised by salon owners, state Division of Consumer Affairs director David Szuchman said he could not support the ban and told the board "to begin an immediate review of the training necessary to safely provide this service, and to establish appropriate protocols and safeguards." Though Szuchman recommended the ban not be enforced during the board's review, there is a serious question whether salons' insurers will cover them for injuries. The ban was first proposed after two women were hospitalized for infections. At Tuesday's meeting, Rosemary Weiner, chairwoman of the Association of Salon and Spa Professionals in New Jersey, presented a position paper on how Brazilian waxing can be performed safely.
