Apparently not all mormons feel the same about California’s Proposition 8, which I guess leaves the dissenters wondering why they’re spending so much time, money and energy donating to the church when their fundamental beliefs about human rights contradict those of that same church.  This same supposition could hold true for all of California’s Catholic bigots bishops (because we know how some of them feel about little boys), some of the Christians and many of the Orthodox Jews.  These groups seem to feel that they have the most to lose by controlling the sacred rights of marriage between a husband and wife.

Michael Bloomberg

It’s been said that “absolute power corrupts absolutely”, and I believe that billionaire Michael Bloomberg is a using his vast fortunes to corruptly attain the power that he wants.  To what end, I can hardly imagine, but with his recent push to break change the rules to allow him to run for a third term in office it would appear that there are enough people that have benefited from his term in office that he might actually get the opportunity.  Why the citizens of New York and our government for that matter aren’t calling bullshit I don’t understand.

Anne Hathaway

When word of Raffaello Follieri being questioned about fraud came to light, my first thought was pretty straight-forward: “so that’s the kind of money it takes to date Anne Hathaway?”  And, even now, I’m not sure that I blame him all that much – Anne Hathaway is hot!

But, all good things must come to an end, and Raffaello’s 15 minutes are up.  People is reporting that Raffaello Follieri has been sentenced to 4.5 years in prison after pleading guilty to 14 counts of wire fraud, money laundering and conspiracy.

Through an interpreter Follieri is quoted as saying “What I did was wrong and there is no point in making excuses.  I will never be able to wash away the shame.  I just hope that someday those who have been hurt by my actions will forgive me.”  Hmmmm… wonder how Anne’s feeling now.  (More of my opinion after the jump.)
