— Matt Lyon (@MattLyonSLC) December 23, 2013 Courtesy of The Gaily Grind: A picture tweeted by @MattLyonSLC, shows boy scouts in Salt Lake City wearing rainbow kerchiefs, delivering pizza to county workers who are skipping their lunch break to keep serving the hundreds of gay couples lining up around the block for marriage licenses.
The Boy Scouts, an organization famous for being overtly religious and hating on the gays, working to help county employees in Utah, the home of the Mormon Church, an organization that has worked quite hard to oppress the LGBT community and deny them their civil rights, in order to help gay couples make a life long commitment to one another.
They may be one of the most beautiful things I have ever seen.
God I love progress!

Sarah Palin posts a picture of "Eskimo Bingo."
Now THIS is what Eskimo Bingo looks like.
Still a game that I have never played in my 50 plus years living in this state.
I mean I've played a versing of it at work functions but we never called it such a racially insensitive name.
P.S. Oh yeah, I almost forgot, Palin also links to this whiny little post from Nancy French's husband about how he was hated in college for being a Right Wing douchebag and then goes on to make the lamest attempt ever to defend Sarah Palin.

Though the Republican party will argue just the opposite Obamacare has actually helped millions and millions.
As the deadline to sign up for an insurance policy that takes effect in 2014 passes on December 23, the next crucial step in the debate about the future of the Affordable Care Act begins.
On January 1, Republicans will make the case that because of the estimated five million cancelation notices that went out last year, more people are uninsured under the president’s signature legislative accomplishment than newly insured.
The White House is preparing to rebut that argument aggressively. Last week, an administration official asserted that only about 10 percent of those who received those notices had not found a replacement plan, as most were offered another option by their current insurer. The remaining 500,000 or so have been offered a special exemption from the individual mandate.
Personally I think one of the biggest gifts we can get this Christmas is to watch the GOP scrambling for talking points once the Obamacare success stories are so numerous that they crush the Republican talking points under the weight of newly insured feet.
I think 2014 is shaping up to be a great year indeed for the progressives in this country.

Somebody shoots black Santa in the back with a pellet gun. Megyn Kelly could not be reached for comment.

A man in a Santa Claus suit was shot in the back with a pellet gun Tuesday morning at a toy giveaway in Southeast.
According to an ABC7 photographer who was interviewing the victim at the time of the shooting, the man in the Santa suit was struck in his upper back. He was transported to a nearby hospital with the pellet still lodged in his shoulder.
Witnesses report hearing two shots. Police believe they came from a second story window in a nearby building.
"Santa" wanted to continue giving away presents, but paramedics insisted he be transported to the hospital. He is expected to be OK and make a full recovery.
Sure, white Santa's walk along the streets unmolested all the time, but have one African American Kris Kringle take a stroll to give away toys to poor children, and "Blam" they snipe him in the back!
Are you happy now Fox News? Well are you?

Alan Turing, WWII codebreaker and father of the computer, granted rare royal pardon for the crime of being a homosexual.
Mathematician Alan Turing, who helped Britain win World War Two by cracking Nazi Germany's "unbreakable" Enigma code, was granted a rare royal pardon on Tuesday for a criminal conviction for homosexuality that led to his suicide.
Turing's electromechanical machine, a forerunner of modern computers, unraveled the code used by German U-boats in the Atlantic. His work at Bletchley Park, Britain's wartime codebreaking centre, was credited with shortening the war.
However, he was stripped of his job and chemically castrated with injections of female hormones after being convicted of gross indecency in 1952 for having sex with a man. Homosexual sex was illegal in Britain until 1967.
Turing killed himself in 1954, aged 41, with cyanide.
Justice Minister Chris Grayling said the pardon from Queen Elizabeth would come into effect immediately and was a fitting tribute to "an exceptional man with a brilliant mind".
Without this great man we may have lost the war.
And without his contribution to modern day computing, I may not have been able to share this long overdue good news with all of you.
Remember when next you hear a conservative go on and on about the "good old days" that those old days were not good for everybody. And the times we are living in today are the ones that progressives have been fighting to drag us to for decades.
