Here in Colorado, I have been fortunate enough to be a part of a strong community that values diversity and respects our differences, but our health care and educational systems rarely match our American promise; I will provide leadership to change that. "We must end the war in Iraq so we can focus on combating poverty and discrimination and growing a more inclusive and sustainable economy here at home.If elected, Polis will become Colorado's first openly gay representative. Quite a change for the state that once boasted the highest concentration of Evangelicals.
• Fourteen Canadian prison guards have asked to be transferred after Correctional officials refused to separate an . The girls give new meaning to "bad ass bitches from hell": After a verbal spat shortly after their wedding, one of the women - and another inmate - smashed up a washer, dryer, microwave oven, fridge and stereo in her cell block... Shortly afterwards, the inmate screamed racial slurs at a guard and slammed a door shut in the face of another.
Pretty rude. Also, this news source: Canada's Canoe, listed this news story under "weird news".

Oprah may have just lauded Madonna's adoption of wee African baby David Banda (right), but not everyone in Hollywood approves of the pop-star's baby-snatching methods. Tinseltown's other baby monger, Angelina Jolie, had some harsh words for Madge's allegedly illegal tactics. Speaking with French magazine Gala, Jolie reportedly said:
Personally, I prefer to stay on the right side of the law... I would never take a child away from a place where adoption is illegal... Madonna knew the situation in Malawi, where he was born... It's a country where there is no real legal framework for adoption.She went on to say that Madonna's Malawian adoption threatened her reign as Africa's White Queen Bee. When the time comes, little Zahara will challenge David to a duel to the death. She added that Zahara's one tough bitch and not even Kaballah's ancient power will save David's hide.
She did not mention, however, whether or not this battle would precede Zahara's forthcoming fist to cuffs with baby Suri. Only time will tell. One thing's for sure: the Baby Wars have begun. Prepare accordingly.

Everyone's favorite super couple have announced they'll continue living in sin until all Americans can marry. That means us, of course.
In the new issue of Esquire, Pitt says, "Angie and I will consider tying the knot when everyone else in the country who wants to be married is legally able." That's nice. When we're allowed to marry, why don't you ditch Angie and give us a call. And, no, we won't sign a pre-nup.

Well, we were holding out for Madonna to be godmother to the soon to be born "World’s Most Beautiful Baby," but it looks like the crown is going to a lesbian - which would’ve been our second choice. And it isn’t Brad Pitt’s best bud, Melissa Etheridge.
Angelina Jolie has reportedly asked her lesbian lover to be godmother to her children - angering boyfriend Brad Pitt, according to Britain's Daily Star newspaper.The actress allegedly wants Jenny Shimizu, who she had a relationship with while filming 'Foxfire' in 1993, to give spiritual guidance to her two adopted children, Maddox and Zahara, and her unborn baby with Pitt.
We do hope Brad isn’t jealous of Angie’s lesbian-lover, but somehow, we kind of think he’s the kind of guy that wouldn’t mind. And he does have to admit that his life with Aniston was never this interesting, seeing as though the godmother to that kid would’ve been Courtney Cox. We’ll take a lesbian any day ‘cause dear Jenny gives new meaning to the term ‘fairy godmother.’
