blake makes friends but only for a minute
he prefers the things he orders from the internet
and blake’s been having trouble with his head again
he takes his pills but never takes his medicine
he tells me that he’s fine

Appeals court: Denying federal benefits to same-sex couples is unconstitutional

A federal appeals court has ruled that the Defense of Marriage Act, a law that denies a host of federal benefits to same-sex married couples, is unconstitutional.

The 1st U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Boston ruled Thursday that the act known as DoMA, which defines marriage as a union between a man and a woman, discriminates against gay couples.

The law was passed in 1996 at a time when it appeared Hawaii would legalize gay marriage. Since then, many states have instituted their own bans on gay marriage, while eight states have approved it, led by Massachusetts in 2004.

In-N-Out doesn’t suck

I know a few of my friends will fight me on this. How could a burger chain  NOT  suck? Mass-produced burgers from a faceless corporation, slapping ground beef on a griddle and shucking it out to the masses. How could this be anything other than complete suckitute?

Wrong. A double-double is perfection miraculously mass produced. They make burgers the way you would if you had your own grill and had to churn out burgers to several thousand of your friends on the daily.

The most flawlessly executed ratio of ground beef to cheese, produce with a freshness that snaps in your mouth, and the quasi-superior feeling you get when you order something off of the not-so-secret menu (is there anyone whodoesn’tknow how fucking great animal style is?) combines to make for an experience that certainly meets the value of its $1.75 price point.

Look, they don’t have a lot on the menu. No chicken nuggets. No fish filet. No pre-made salads. Not even hot dogs. They do hamburgers, cheeseburgers and fries (a little too potato-ey for my taste). No ball bit, no arcade games. Not even collectible cups for the latest summer blockbuster. They do one thing and they do it fucking good.

In-N-Out has been a standard in L.A. since the Baldwin Park location opened up in 1948. They just do fresh burgers with fresh produce sliced thick, served with a smile and a hidden bible verse.

That’s what a hamburger’s all about. Enjoy.
