His publicist blamed an allergic reaction to medication, and said the actor was discharged Tuesday evening and on his way back to Los Angeles.

Yeah, sure, an allergic reaction to medication.

I think I need a publicist...

Gates ‘Don’t Ask’ Memo Limits Discharge Policy

In a memorandum dated Oct. 21, Mr. Gates said that “until further notice,” only five senior Defense Department officials, all civilians, would have the authority to expel openly gay service members. As the memo explained it, the relevant service secretary — either the Secretary of the Army, Navy or Air Force — has to consult with the Pentagon’s legal counsel, Jeh C. Johnson, and the undersecretary for personnel, Clifford L. Stanley, before the three can make a group decision on whether a gay service member should be forced out of the military.

This may actually be the first time the Obama administration has impressed me to the level I expected.

About time!

And, Thank you!!!

Times Square becomes the Headquarters for Gay Veterans Re-Enlisting.

Dan Choi, a former Iraq war veteran was discharged in July for openly being gay. Today, Choi returned to the Times Square recruiting station to complete his re-enlistment application. U.S. and Pentagon officials warn Choi and other gay veterans, that they may never be called to duty. U.S. Officials, must now accept the applications, but if the Obama administration successfully overturns Judge Virginia A. Phillips decision then it will be back to square one for homosexual rights. Judge Phillips struck down the military's 17-year-old ban on people who openly admit to being gay, to serve in the armed forces. A week later and the

Dan Choi makes me proud. He IS a true American Hero!!!

Anti-Porn Candidate for Governor Loved to Send Porn in Email

Emailing funny cat videos to your friends is one thing, but sending pornographic videos you think are "awesome" is on a whole different level, a Republican gubernatorial candidate promoted by the tea party movement is finding out.

An upstate New York website announced Wednesday, "Since Carl decided to make an issue of 'pornographers and perverts' who are subverting our society and offending his values and Catholic sensibilities, we here at WNYMedia.net thought now would be a great time to revisit the 70-something emails that Carl Paladino sent around to hundreds of his friends, advisors, and associates as well as to leaders in the WNY business community and government officials over the course of several years."

HAHA!! Typical Rightie...

How GM "Lied" About The Electric Car

It turns out that's not correct. We're now told by Volt's engineering team that when the Volt's lithium-ion battery pack runs down and at speeds near or above 70 mph the Volt's gasoline engine will directly drive the front wheels along with the electric motors.

That means that for all of the all-electric or extended-range electric vehicle (EREV) hype GM's imbuing in the Volt, it's really nothing more than a plug-in hybrid vehicle. A very advanced plug-in hybrid, but a hybrid nonetheless.

Yes, but it is still a very different car than has been previously introduced. This minutiae is only going to affect the "insider" wars. The average consumer won't even know GM claimed this...unless a competitor tries to market this to their advantage. The question remains whether this is still the best and most fuel efficient vehicle on the market for its' price class.

And therein lies the rub: what is being glossed over by insiders is what I see as the most potentially damaging aspect of this: They lied about numbers the average consumer can understand. MPG has been beaten into our heads for the past several decades - everyone understands its significance to the environment and (most importantly) to their wallets.

Few will care about how the power train works or whether they were lied to about it. They WILL care about -and quite easily understand the difference between- 230 MPG and 30-40 MPG.

Regardless, This story caused me to facepalm, if I am allowed to use that term being over the age of 35...It will only give fuel to the anti-environment nuts who also happen to want just one more excuse to buy a foreign car...

Google's Next Wave: Smart Cars

With someone behind the wheel to take control if something goes awry and a technician in the passenger seat to monitor the navigation system, seven test cars have driven 1,000 miles without human intervention and more than 140,000 miles with only occasional human control. One even drove itself down Lombard Street in San Francisco, one of the steepest and curviest streets in the nation. The only accident, engineers said, was when one Google car was rear-ended while stopped at a traffic light.

Cool. But, Creepy?

It Has Come To This: O'Donnell Family Straightens Out Father's Bozo The Clown Career

Christine O'Donnell's campaign is facing yet another set of questions about her background, and this time it's on a really weird line of discussion -- whether her father was Philadelphia's local Bozo the Clown. Seriously.

As Mark Leibovich at the New York Times reports, the O'Donnell family's past claims that her father Daniel O'Donnell had worked as Bozo sparked an uprising of online commenters who insisted that no, Daniel O'Donnell was not listed on Wikipedia as having been one of the many regionally licensed Bozo the Clown TV hosts.

Remember, folks, how having Stephen Colbert testify before Congress cheapened the halls of such a hallowed institution? This is the literal clown-car sideshow that is the tea-bagging movement...

Seriously, WTF?
