Just in, a New York appeals court has ruled that valid gay marriages performed in other states or countries must be recognized. For now, that means that marriages performed in
MA, Canada and other countries would be valid in New York state.
This is the first ruling of its kind in the US. Let's hope it's not
the last.

HIV, the virus that causes AIDS, has
been around some 25 years now. Yet it seems we still know little
about the disease. But new reports this week brought us insightful
facts on the epidemic and the search for a cure. New statistics show that under 1 percent of US adults have HIV, this study did not
include prisoners or children, and in Colombia as many 117,500 people have been infected. Controversy
is sure to follow Swiss experts who claim some HIV patients can have
unprotected sex without worry of passing the disease.
It seems Zapatero's Socialist Party in
Spain is in for a bruising fight with the Catholic Church. The church now outrightly campaigning against the party in parliament elections scheduled for March. In recent months the church has

The Red Robin®
chicken continues to be furious over comments made by the
Chick-Fil-A® cow Spicy
Skirtsteak in this column two weeks ago. In that exclusive,
pedal-to-the-metal interview Skirtsteak said, “Eat mor chikin.
Spisee fried chikin with barbetchup, if you like.” The Red Robin®
chicken claims the remarks were dangerous and harebrained. “Don't
be fooled by that down-home act,” she recently told me in a phone
conversation. “That frail knows exactly what she's doing. Spicy
fried chicken with barbetchup can kill a person or leave 'em
slervous.” The Red Robin®
chicken explained that the natural mellowing agents found in ketchup
combine with the kick of the barbecue sauce leaving a person sleepy
and nervous simultaneously. “How does a person die from eating
spicy fried chicken with barbetchup?” I asked. “Throw in a pound
of cocaine and a liter of Russian vodka and we'll see if you make it
past the cheesecake shooter, kid!” the Red Robin® chicken responded, then added, “I gotta fly, my manager needs
eggs.”
