-ALABAMA JUDGES REFUSING TO ISSUE LICENSES COULD FACE JAIL TIME:  

Alabama probate judges who refuse to issue marriage licenses to same-sex couples once marriage equality takes effect across the state today could face fines and jail time, legal experts say. Since the state’s marriage ban was overturned, a fraction of probate judges have said they will refuse to issue marriage licenses to any couples, decline to provide them to same-sex couples, refuse to sign the licenses or no longer perform marriages at all. Because couples do not have to obtain licenses within their county, those judges’ refusal to issue licenses will only truly inconvenience those couples in rural areas, but could cause legal issues for the courts. “If the (federal) court issues an order and they refuse to comply with the order, then the court can find them in contempt of court, which could result in a fine or incarceration until they purge themselves of the contempt,” said former U.S. District Court Judge U.W. Clemon.

10 Facts to Blow* Your Cranky Republican Brother-In-Law's Mind!

From the Daily Kos website, September 4, 2012. Great list, seems to be going viral again on Facebook and Twitter, so it makes for a fun read: (By Richard Riis, Daily Kos contributor).

My favorite is an excerpt from #10 on the list:
"By way of his Dunham lineage, President Obama has at least 11 direct ancestors who took up arms and fought for American independence in the Revolutionary War and two others cited as patriots by the Daughters of the American Revolution for furnishing supplies to the colonial army. This star-spangled heritage makes Obama eligible to join the Sons of the American Revolution, and his daughters the Daughters of the American Revolution. Not bad for someone 56% of Republicans still believe is a foreigner."

Chris Christie "Conservative"? Not when cronies are picking up his travel tab!

From today's New York Times: Kate Zernike and Michael Barbaro offer up some excellent reporting about New Jersey Governor Chris Christie's fondness for staying at 5-star hotels; flying in Cessna Citation X jets; and taking along his family and friends to destinations such as London, Dallas, Israel & Jordan.

Fair, but no so "balanced"
