Three funny little stories on a slow news day....number one, The New York Post (a must read on line) with their usual comic take on a growing problem with a salmonella outbreak with raw tomatoes...
Then it was a law suit filed in Greece from a group from the Greek island Lesbos suing a gay and lesbian group for using the term lesbian, and besmirching their little island (number two)....ATHENS, Greece -- Three islanders from Lesbos told a court Tuesday that gay women insult their home's identity by calling themselves lesbians. The plaintiffs - two women and a man - are seeking to ban a Greek gay rights group from using the word "lesbian" in its name. Also known as Mytilini, Lesbos was the home of the ancient poet Sappho, who praised love among women. It is a major travel destination for gay women.
The Homosexual and Lesbian Community of Greece "causes confusion by using a geographic term in connection with (the group's) special character and social action," said Dimitris Papadelis, a lawyer representing the plaintiffs. A spokeswoman for the group accused the plaintiffs of homophobia. (ed.note: I can't wait for the oral arguments here, folks. At the end, will they "poll" the jury? Yes, I know...but I couldn't resist...)
Number three...John McCain with something actually resembling a clever remark....Having been dogged for quite some time now by Barack Obama in regards to running for a third George Bush term in the White House, shot back with the line of the day..."It kind of looks like you're running for a second Jimmy Carter term..."
Let the games (and the word play, please) begin....
