I really enjoyed the movie this summer. The period feel, the theme of patriotism and idealism, PLUS Chris Evans shirtless! How you not like that?
Order today and you receive it the day it’s available. Captain America: The First Avenger

(via CNN) Rep. Gabrielle Giffords of Arizona listens as her husband, Captain Mark Kelly, speaks at his retirement ceremony Thursday with Vice President Joe Biden in the Eisenhower Executive Office Building.
This is Giffords’ second trip to Washington as she recovers from a gunshot to the head that left her seriously wounded in January.
Federal officials are warning California medical marijuana dispensaries they must shut down within 45 days or face criminal prosecution and having their property confiscated.
The state’s four U.S. attorneys sent letters Wednesday and Thursday notifying at least 16 pot shops or their landlords that they are violating federal drug laws, even though medical marijuana is legal in California. The attorneys are to announce their coordinated crackdown at a Friday news conference.
Letters from the U.S. attorneys state that federal law “takes precedence over state law and applies regardless of the particular uses for which a dispensary is selling pot.”
Thoughts are that a glut of wrongfully obtained medical marijuana prescriptions helped opponents of the drug push their campaign to close the shops.
Normally, if I see a celebrity’s home for sale I don’t publicize it since I honor privacy.
But since Kate Walsh, star of ABC’s “Private Practice,” has her home currently on the market and is the ‘featured home of the week’ on Trulia, I figure I’m helping sell the house by posting here. No address or private photos though. If interested contact the Listing Agent for a showing.
It’s located in a fantastic part of Los Angeles. See description below.

It just gets sooooo ridiculous. Notice the increase in color as the subject turns to marrying 1st cousins…
Sad.
Margie Phelps has announced that the Westboro Baptist Church will be picketing the funeral of Apple cofounder Steve Jobs because he “served [him]self, not God.”
And just how did she make this announcement? By tweeting it from her Apple iPhone.
The Kansas-based organization, which has protested memorials of everyone from victims of gay bashings to those killed in the 2006 Sago Mine disaster — often times with signs stating “God Hates Fags” — has called for “no peace” for Jobs.

The NOH8 Campaign is a photographic silent protest created by celebrity photographer Adam Bouska and partner Jeff Parshley in direct response to the passage of Proposition 8. Photos feature subjects with duct tape over their mouths, symbolizing their voices being silenced by Prop 8 and similar legislation around the world, with “NOH8” painted on one cheek in protest.
The Chippendales recently participated in the photo campaign during a shoot in Las Vegas.
The Chippendales take part in many events throughout the year to raise awareness and support many charities like the St. Therese Center (HIV/AIDS support), S.A.F.E House (battered womens shelter), Susan G. Komen, Toys for Tots, Salvation Army, New Vista Community (dedicated to providing equal opportunities for adults and children with intellectual challenges) and various community outreach (senior centers from Prestige Assisted Living).
