Lady Gaga on" Don't Ask, Don't Tell"

Don't Ask, Don't Tell is finally coming up for a vote in the Senate on Tuesday (the House voted to repeal it in May) and I agree with Lady Gaga that it's time for remove this law from our books and allow all people to serve in the Armed Forces without prejudice based on gender, race, religion OR sexuality. Making the decision to serve and protect our country is one of complete selflessness and no one should be turned away because of some outdated stereotypes and fear mongering.

Please join Lady Gaga and me by calling your Senator and urging him or her to vote with Senator Harry Reid to repeal this unconstitutional law and oppose Senator John McCain's filibuster.You can also call Senator McCain directly at 202-224-2235 and let him know that America supports the repeal of Don't Ask, Don't Tell and he needs to stop standing in the way of equal opportunity and let this measure come to the floor for a vote rather than filibustering it. It's time everyone be able to serve our country. Click here for more information on the Servicemembers Legal Defense Network that Lady Gaga talks about in her video.

They Might As Well Make It Illegal To Be A Teen-Age Girl

Kristen Wiig's Aunt Linda character on Saturday Night Live who turns eye rolling into an art form.

You may not have heard, but Elmhust, Illinois is trying to outlaw eye rolling by declaring it "disorderly conduct."

This all stems from a discussion at a June 14th public finance and public affairs committee meeting where aldermen were discussing whether Elmhurst should hire a state lobbyist. Darlene Heslop, who attended the meeting and is opposed to hiring the lobbyist, allegedly rolled her eyes and sighed, which resulted in her being asked to leave the meeting.

The town of Elmhurst then directed its city attorney Don Storino to research the legal definition of "disorderly conduct and disruptive behavior" because Elmhurst is considering creating such a violation that would include eye rolling. According to Trib Local, "under state law, disorderly conduct is 'an act in such unreasonable manner as to alarm or disturb another, or to provoke a breach of the peace.'”

I can only imagine what kind of peace was breached with the eye rolling and which member of the committee is so sensitive that he or she was alarmed or disturbed. I'd like to live in that world where the biggest problem is eye rolling.

I know, you just rolled your eyes at the sheer stupidity of this waste of taxpayer dollars, but don't let anyone in Elmhurst catch you.

Frankly, if this had been the law in Arlington Heights during the 1980s, I may not have survived my teen years.

Parents all over Elmhurst have their fingers crossed in hopes that soon they'll be able to say to their teen daughters, "Don't roll your eyes at me, Missy! That's illegal in this town and I'll have Sheriff Andy Taylor over here to throw your butt in jail in two shakes of a stick! Now clean your room!"

Happy Repeal Day!

That's right kids . . . today is the Diamond Anniversary of the repeal of the 18th Amendment by the ratification of the 21st Amendment!

In English that means that today is the 75th anniversary of the end of Prohibition.

Of course, the only way to celebrate is with an appropriate cocktail.

Please drink responsibly. And by all means, do not drink and drive.
