Are you ready to rumble? C-SPAN is airing the battle in San Francisco, beginning at 10 am PST.

Three judges from the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals will hear arguments this morning on whether Prop. 8 is constitutional.

The first hurdle will be for the proponents of the ballot measure to explain to the court how they even have standing to appeal district judge Vaughn Walker’s August 4 decision striking down Prop. 8, seeing as how the named defendant, the Guvernator, and AG/soon to be Governor Moonbeam refused to appeal the decision.

The other day on the occasion of Obama’s visit to Indonesia, the Gray Lady had an article about his experiences living there from ages 6 through 10.  While going over some familiar territory (young Barry went to a Catholic school, not a madrassa) and less well-known (he ran like a duck), this little nugget was slipped in to the article:

His nanny was an openly gay man who, in keeping with Indonesia’s relaxed attitudes toward homosexuality, carried on an affair with a local butcher, longtime residents said. The nanny later joined a group of transvestites called Fantastic Dolls, who, like the many transvestites who remain fixtures of Jakarta’s streetscape, entertained people by dancing and playing volleyball.

OMG! Volleyball? What’s next, cricket?

Our guest columnist is Joseph Farah, publisher of WorldNetDaily and celebrated mustache-ride entrepreneur.

Conservative superstar Ann Coulter today was dropped as a keynote speaker for WND’s “Taking America Back National Conference” next month because of her plan to address an event titled “HOMOCON” sponsored by the homosexual Republican group GOProud that promotes same-sex marriage and military service for open homosexuals.

Joseph Farah, editor and chief executive officer of WND, said the decision was a gut-wrenching one for his team because of their fondness for Coulter as both a person and writer-speaker.

Judge Vaughn Walker of the Northern District of California lifted his temporary stay of his decision last week that ruled that Prop. 8 was unconstitutional.  The stay will be lifted as of August 18 at 5 pm. Gay and lesbian couples had been lined up since early this morning at City Hall in San Francisco and Santa Cruz in anticipation of the announcement that the temporary stay would be lifted.

Chambers of commerce, event planners, caterers, restaurants, and hotels in California’s most beautiful and beloved locales let out a big sigh of relief at the thought of the money to be spent by gays and their guests at local nuptials.

Right wingers had their talking points lined up since early this morning about how heterosexual marriage will be destroyed by this lifting of the stay by the evil homosekshual San Francisco judge.  A handful of Yes on 8 supporters were outside San Francisco City Hall along with those waiting to get married, and their fashion choices demonstrated how desperately they’re in need of gay assistance.

In the wake of Wednesday’s ruling by Judge Vaughn Walker in Perry v. Schwarzenegger, overturning Prop. 8, the American Family Association is calling for Congress to impeach Walker for his decision.

The basis for impeachment:

(1) Walker is gay

(2) The Constitution does not mention marriage, therefore under the 10th Amendment the federal government cannot get involved.

The round of 16 has begun, the U.S. was eliminated by Ghana, the Krauts anihilated the Limeys, and Argentina sent the Mexicans packing.

Best upcoming match: Argentina v. Germany, which I believe our MOT DodgerBlue called “The Battle of Mengele” or something like that…

It was also Pride Weekend here in Ess Eff. Sadly there was some shooting at Saturday night’s “Pink Saturday” in the Castro when some dumbass teenagers with guns showed up and got drunk. Today’s parade was the 40th, which the best part of the parade was seeing the middle-aged lesbian-headed families, or the four generations of a Chinese family there to support their son.

Random photos of World Cup hotties on their way home and Pride fun.

While L.A.’s Pride celebration this weekend features the Log Cabin Republicans’ Tea-Bag Game, your Stinque editors are waiting to hear from our D.C. correspondents if Rep. Aaron Schock (R-IL) will be on the Log Cabin float for the Pride Parade that’s going on this weekend.

Our friends at Gawker report that a photo taken of the youngest member of Congress at a picnic last week is “jamming up the gay staff listserv” on the Hill. Gee, I wonder why?

Is it the aqua belt like the on I had in 1984 to hold up my Jordache jeans, the unbuttoned-yet-tucked-in ironed pink shirt with the perfectly rolled-up sleeves, or the white jeans?

Yes.

And the gay-face.
