Tuesday’s passage of an anti Gay Marriage ordinance in Maine was unquestionably disappointing, but perhaps no more so than the shrill response from members of the same-sex marriage industry who have once again resorted to the new-found game of homo-hysteria.

DAILY PONDER: Can Pres. Obama be Pro-Israel AND Anti-Settlement?
Much has been made of Pres. Obama’s recent Cairo speech — in which he categorically declared that his administration will not longer tolerate Israeli settlement development within the West Bank and insists on nothing less than a two-state solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Impressive for its acknowledgement of Palestinian suffering, the speech only confirmed what [...]
DAILY PONDER: Is Texting Gay?
Even with a jam-packed Hamptons weekend, Transracial bud AG managed to pack in a screening of The Hangover (above), the new surprise movie hit that raked in an impressive $45 million in the past few days. While AG agreed the flick was filled with laughs, he couldn’t help but ponder the preponderance of homo-gags throughout [...]
D.I.Y. Baby
Transracial read today a story detailing how a fertility doctor in Los Angeles will soon be offering parents the option to pre-select their baby’s eye color, hair color and even skin tone. Indeed, for a mere $15,000 fee, Dr. Jeff Steinberg of The Fertility Institute will go beyond offering “100 per cent success” in choosing [...]
Battle for Same-Sex Marriage Heats-Up in Israel

WE'RE CONCERNED ABOUT: Guinea
Fresh from West Africa’s latest coup, the small nation of Guinea is worryingly teetering towards failed state-status. News from the capital, Conakry, is bad — due mostly to Guinea and neighboring nations becoming transit points for powerful South American drug cartels looking to ship narcotics via Africa to Europe. While rumors of high-level collusion between [...]
DAILY TRANSRCIAL: Roberty Downey, Jr
While there is certainly something odd and offensive about Roberty Downey, Jr’s donning of Blackface for Oscar-nominated role in Tropical Thunder (above, with Ben Stiller), we conceded the move is nothing if not novel. Coming hot on the heel’s of his summer success with Iron Man, the cross-color performance proves that Downey is indeed a [...]
Election Quandary
Tuesday sees Israel heading to the polls to elect a new prime minister and of all the major candidates, we’re keeping our eye on Soviet-expat and Yisrael Beiteinu party leader Avigdor Lieberman (above). On one hand, Lieberman’s extremist, neo-fascist and anti-Arab views could not worry us more. However, Lieberman’s strong support for measures which would [...]
On the Up
Finally some good news for the struggling music industry. According to trade group Soundscan, sales of actual records (yes, vinyl LPs) surged last year to almost 1.9 million units — up from a mere 858,000 in 2007. They’re welcome numbers in a tough time for music companies and artists, though with some 1.1 billion songs [...]
