Stewart had a bit about this yesterday (when Biden jumped the gun and said he supported gay marriage on Meet the Press). Back when Obama was running for state senator he fill out a questionnaire and said he would support gay marriage, etc. So what I would guess it is politics got in the way of him supporting publicly in the past. To quote Biden, "This is a big fucking deal" So now I have a question for all of the republicans out there, how can you support a party/candidate who does see a portion of Americans as equal to the majority of Americans.

Obama officially supports gay marriage, about fing time. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/05/09/obama-gay-marriage_n_1503245.html I have never understood why the party [Republicans] of personal freedom with a "laser focus" on jobs and the economy cared about what two consenting adults did in the privacy of their own home. Oh wait, I forgot the Republicans are controlled by the religious right.

It is funny I hate the Yankee's too, but for some reason I always liked Rivera. He seemed just like a class act. I would hate of rhim to be done cause of this.

Wow, that guy has a mess of problems. I can't imagine a life like that.

My favorite Cub is back from the DL. Excited to listen to the game today! Otherwise it has been a dismal season for my Cubbies.

You never can pin suicide on one thing, where the impact on his health from his sport did not help, I don't think you can just blame that. It is a shame, that he was unable to get the help he needed. I truly feel for those he left behind.

I understand the seriousness of the procedure, and the life saving aspect, my grandfather had colon cancer, and my father has had the procedure twice already. I am not of the age where I have to get one yet. However, Letterman is in his right to make fun of such a stunt on morning TV. It is completely ridiculous to show that on TV. I think if anything the morning show stunts cause more fear and ridicule. Simply put if you go to the doctor for regular check-ups you will eventually get it done, if you don't then you will put it off and probably have put off some other stuff as well. Basica

Well said.

So funny Sparky decries the when we discuss the news of the day (be it Ted Nugent, Dogs, Fluke, etc.) as we are all sheep and we got to wake up, but yet he just throws out these videos, which are feed in to paranoia and generally are filled with half truths and out and out lies. Also I first heard this on Michael Savage, so that should tell you the level of truthiness on it.

Most data seems to predict Obama with around 250 Electoral College votes and Romney around 190 or so. This means there about 100 Electoral votes up for grabs in states like Florida, Ohio, Nevada, Colorado, Virginia, North Carolina. I don't think anyone with a brain thinks it is a done deal for Obama. Tweedling, from your posts I am assuming you are Pro-Romney (or is it anti-Obama). Can you tell me, what are Romney's plans for the country? I mean apparently he is gonna end The Affordable-Care act (which constitutionally he would not be able to do.) but beyond that what is his plans for

You ever feel like Cassandra?

Death of a President (2006), I have never seen this movie, this centers around the events after the assassination of GWB. It does not call for the assassination of GWB. And if Wikipedia is to be believed (and why not eh?) it paints a pretty bleak picture of the days and roles of government afterword.

Obama eats Dogs

Already done. Maybe we should move on, let's talk about how each presidential candidate treats dogs. Cause apparently that matters.

An editorial on CNN.com is far from being punished. Good for the promoters for the Ft. Knox concert, but on the scale of things, this is nothing. Remember the Dixie Chicks, they where boycotted in 2003 for saying they were embarrassed that the President was from Texas. Guess it is ok to say whatever you want if the President is a Democrat, because Democrats are socialists and they hate America.

See what you are forgetting here, is that those involved in the NFL bounty scandal were punished. Ted Nugent, other then having his a stern talking to by the secret service, has had nothing happen to him. There is no call for a boycott, there is no call for punishment whatsoever. So the NRA says this type of speech is ok, and no one has a problem with that. Apparently in our current political climate it is ok to call for the death of a sitting president and others who you don't agree with (albeit metaphorically). Where does it stop??

I can't remember the last time I heard a professional football player use the term kill or murder, I am pretty sure if they did they would get fined. He was speaking metaphorically (hopefully) but what about the comment about being dead or in jail? I can't seem to think what that means. And if anyone needs to apologize for the Damn Yankees it is Bob Fosse.

Yes, he said and I quote, “We need to ride into that battlefield and chop their heads off in November. Any questions?” That compounded with statements he has made in the past make me question what he means. I am also dumbfounded with the statement, "If Barack Obama becomes the president in November, again, I will either be dead or in jail by this time next year." So that either means a) Obama is gonna take him out or he is gonna do something that is gonna get him shot or arrested. He is making a veiled threat, I see it that way. What do you think he meant?

it came to me last night why I am bothered by this whole situation with the Nuge, not only was it the pure lack of respect, but it was where he did it. Nuge is said this during the NRA's annual meeting. Nuge is a board member of the NRA. He was speaking for the NRA. The NRA is a major political player (I think Bleed may even agree with that) and whose chief aims in 2012 is the defeat of Obama. So maybe it is a waste of time for politicians to come out against statements made by celebrities, but Nuge's statements where made on behalf of the NRA. Tweedling said "I'd be willing to bet th

I remember I was a friends house who had a huge high def tv and high quality surround sound and we were watching the the Cubs v Pirates at PNC. It had been raining and the game was delayed so there were what seemed liked 5 people in the stands. But watching it it felt like you where there hearing the rain and the few people left. It does look like a great stadium. I have been to a dozen or so big league parks in my time and for overall baseball experience one of the nice stadiums I have been too has to be Kauffman Stadium in KC. Sure the Royals are terrible, but it is one nice park.

Here is the thing, yes Ted is an idiot, yes his opinion shouldn't matter, but our pop culture obsessed society gives celebration a platform to get their beliefs out there. There is a segment of people who follow these people and eat up every word, which is scary has hell. I am not saying that the Nuge is the end all be all of politics, but what he said is getting national coverage. If I said it no one would care. That is why there has to be some accountability for a politician to denounce when someone who says things like the Nuge said. Why do you think Organizations have celebrities te
