Gay marriage legal in New Hampshire

New Hampshire became the 6th state in the U.S. to allow gay marriage today when Gov. John Lynch signed the state's Sex Marriage Bill.

Maybe, by the time I reincarnate as a gay man not trapped in a woman's body it will be legal in, say, Texas. Ya think?

"Thumbs up" to the executioner

A convicted killer was executed Wednesday under Ohio's new "set to die" procedure. And what, you ask, is that? Well...after he received the initial dose of sedatives, the prison warden had to try to wake up him up by calling his name, shaking and pinching his shoulder to make sure he was unconscious and ready for the next round of lethal drugs--a paralytic and a heart-stopping drug. If not, a second dose of sedatives is injected. Executions had been on hold for several months in the U.S. while the Supreme Court considered whether lethal injection was cruel and unusual punishment because of a man who remained conscious after the sedatives, which means he would've felt the painful effects of the other two drugs.

This dude was sentenced to die for the 1991 murder of woman he locked in the trunk of her car and burned alive. So what's a little pain during execution? He's lucky he wasn't burned at the stake, if you ask me.

Now, this one wasn't "set to die"

A woman who had been arrested and placed in the back of a police cruiser, a Ford Crown Victoria, was fatally burned Wednesday when another car slammed into the parked cruiser, igniting both vehicles and another cruiser in front, authorities said Wednesday according to an AP report.

So while the Ohio dude drifted into dreamland on valium and who knows what else, this woman, who apparently was pulled over for some traffic infraction, gets burned at the stake. Interesting...

Jolie named most powerful celebrity by Forbes

In its annual Celebrity 100 list, Forbes magazine named Angelina Jolie as the most powerful celebrity in the world. The star, who earned $27 million last year, knocked Oprah Winfrey, who earned $275 million, of the top spot, which the talk show host has held for the past two years. Madonna came in third.

Could anyone please explain to me exactly how Angelina Jolie is powerful? How does this power manifest itself through her? The kids? The lips? What's the source of this power? The womb? Inquiring minds want to know.

Jonas Brothers' homemade chastity belt

So the mother of the Jonas Brothers admits her sons "have desires" in the July issue of Good Housekeeping. The heartthrobs are virgins, so she says, but that doesn't mean they don't look at women (or men...). "They are men. They have desires. They have testosterone," Denise says of Kevin, 21, Joe, 19 and Nick, 16. "If they make a mistake, I'm not going to hate them. I don't think they're above or beyond being seduced."

--This is wrong on so many levels...are you kidding me? Virgins? Good Housekeeping? Wouldn't hate them? If seduced? By whom? Nine-year-old girls? WTF is she smoking? I say this is a job for the Law & Order SVU detectives...

What else is Craigslist good for these days?

A North Carolina man is accused of arranging to have his wife raped through personal ads on the Web site Craigslist, police said Wednesday in a statement.

The 25-year-old genius, of Kannapolis, North Carolina, was arrested in connection with the incident that occurred at his home early Sunday, CNN reported.

Police responded to the home at about 2:45 a.m. after receiving a 911 call indicating a male armed with a knife appeared in the couple's bedroom and sexually assaulted the man's wife.

Investigators became suspicious when they noticed no sign of forced entry in the house, but on Tuesday they found that the man "had responded to at least two personal ads on craigslist trying to arrange for someone to come to his home and have sex with his wife using some type of scare tactic.

Well, I say we have a strong contender for Sick Fuck of the Week here.
