Washington State sues florist for refusing to sell flowers for a gay wedding...

Flowers at Andrew Sullivan's Big Fat Gay Wedding
Oh Please, give me a break. The State of Washington does not have any better things to prosecute?  What about reserving the right to refuse service to anyone?  This is not some essential service like denying housing, medical care, or food, but simply a person who opposes gay marriage on religious grounds and declined to participate as a business.  I support gay marriage, but many people do not.  They should have the right to opt out of supporting that (and gays and their supporters should have the right not to support and boycott their businesses in response). That is how free markets work. I understand anti discrimination laws on race, but this is not the same thing. And what gay couple is going to have a hard time finding a florist for their gay marriage?

Update:
Via Lonely Conservative
California moves to revoke Boy Scouts tax exempt status over gay scouts... (and Christian church youth groups and guess what, churches will be next).  The sway denim secret police are coming for your uncool niece...

Arlene's Flowers, Richland, WA
This particular establishment, Arlene's Flowers, has been in Richland, WA for 47 years (back when they were making plutonium at Hanford).  This is not some hip florist for a fabulous gay wedding, it is a little old lady florist, which makes me wonder if this was a set up from the start?  The Attorney General's office pursued this because of a Facebook post:  "The incident led Ingersoll and Freed to write Facebook posts about it, and that got the attention of the attorney general’s office, as sexual discrimination falls under the state’s consumer protection and anti-discrimination laws."  I am calling BS on this.  Regardless of how you view gay marriage, none of us should want the government interfering like this.  This is a bad precedent.

Update:
Bob Scheiffer caught unaware about impact of these gay marriage decisions on those who disagree with participating in it.

Geoducks: The biggest clam of all...

And it is pronounced gooey-duck.  Well they are big but not bigger than these guys (which can weight hundreds of pounds), but the geoduck is the biggest clam in North America.  They can be three feet long.  For some reason they are prized delicacies in Asian markets (can you guess why):
Is that a geoduck in your pocket or are you just glad to see me?
They are actually delicious.  In China the syphon is the most prized part (it is crunchy and fibrous), but the most tender and tasty meat is the ribbon of mussel inside the shell.  Here is a recipe.

And given that these clams can sell for $100 each, there is a thriving black market in geoducks.
