Anderson Cooper talks about coming out with Kristen Chenoweth
Says Anderson: “It just got to the point where — I’ve been torn for a long time between a desire as a reporter to just do my job and be known as a reporter — and at the same time I do think visibility is important. I do think that the tide of history only moves forward when everyone is fully visible.
“I didn’t want to send a message that there was anything I was ashamed about or unhappy about or not comfortable with. That was the main thing for me. I appreciate all the support I got and all the encouragement. I am the same person I always was, I do the job just the same way.”
Khloé Kardashian to Host The X Factor?
Khloé Kardashian is apparently in the running to become the next host of the Fox talent show The X Factor, according to TMZ.com.
Reports say that the Keeping Up with the Kardashians personality is poised to take the hosting spot.
Unidentified sources say her chances of being hired are high, according to the report.
“I’m a big fan of The X Factor,” Kardashian told E! Online last month, after reports surfaced that she was among the finalists who auditioned for the gig.
Interesting – she’s going to host a show that goes looking for talent?
The headline writes itself, no?

Vikings Chris Kluwe shares his thoughts on Maryland lawmaker “walking back” his anti-gay marriage comments
Superhero and all-around good guy, Minnesota Vikings Chris Kluwe responds to Maryland lawmaker Emmett Burns, who now admits Baltimore Ravens Brendon Ayanbadejo does indeed have “first Amendment Freedom of Speech” rights when he stood up for gay marriage in Maryland.
Kluwe is not of a mind to let the Maryland Delegate off the hook quite so easily, though. He says it’s not enough, and this becomes a “false, hollow victory” if we allow the matter to end here. Says Kluwe:
In my previous post, I talked about treating the disease, and not the symptoms. If we allow ourselves to proclaim victory now, we’ve merely driven the disease into a slight remission; we have not cured it because we still haven’t heard from Delegate Burns the ‘WHY’.
WHY did you initially write that letter Delegate Burns? WHY did you feel that it’s your job to stifle someone else’s freedom? WHY have you not explained your actions? WHY should we consider you competent to wield the reins of power if you believe in using it to stamp out opposition?
Kluwe goes on to say we all need to stop taking elected officials responses at face value and ask “Why?” more. He closes with “Look past words to the actions, and dare to question if they don’t align.”
Read the whole essay. Chris Kluwe is a smart guy. And he’s getting people to start thinking.
That’s a good thing.
Survey: Majority of constitutional law professors view DOMA as unconstitutional
Gay conservative law Professor Dale Carpenter conducted a survey of nearly 500 of his fellow constitutional law professors asking their views on marriage equality and the Constitution.
The results? Federal marriage discrimination is overwhelmingly viewed as unconstitutional, and a solid majority believe state discrimination is unconstitutional as well:
QUESTION 3: “Section 3 of the Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA) forbids the federal government to recognize same-sex marriages legalized in the states. As a matter of federal constitutional law, do you believe the federal government may refuse to recognize same-sex marriages legalized in the states?”
Yes (DOMA Section 3 is constitutional) — 16%
No (DOMA Section 3 is unconstitutional) — 69%
Not sure — 11%
No Answer/Other — 3%
QUESTION 4: “As a matter of federal constitutional law, do you believe that states *must* allow same-sex couples to marry?”
Yes — 54%
No — 28%
Not Sure — 13%
No Answer/Other — 5%
I would guess that the numbers drop a bit in Question 4 because most conservative scholars view marriage laws as a “states’ rights” issue. Still a strong majority – 54% – say state level discrimination is unconstitutional.

Paul Ryan can’t explain his votes to cut defense spending
On Sunday’s Face the Nation, Norah O’Donnell took Paul Ryan to task regarding his past voting record when it came to cuts in defense spending. Reminding Ryan that he’s criticizing the president for a measure that he, too, voted for, O’Donnell pressed the GOP vice presidential nominee on his stance.
O’Donnell noted that Mitt Romney said Republicans were wrong to agree to a debt deal last summer that included automatic cuts to defense spending. “He’s talking about you because you voted for those cuts, correct?” she asked Ryan.
“I did,” Ryan said, adding that he voted for them because he was working to reach common ground with the president and Democrats to “get a down payment on deficit reduction.”
O’Donnell reiterated that the defense cuts are part of the Budget Control Act, and that Ryan voted for that act. She then dug up a statement Ryan put out following the legislation, in which he called it a “victory” and a “positive step forward.”
“So, you voted for defense cuts, and now you’re criticizing the president for those same defense cuts that you voted for and called a victory,” she pressed. Ryan disagreed, again noting that the House passed a bill to prevent the cuts, but the Senate didn’t do anything about it.
