Lady Gaga Speaks Out About Don't Ask Don't Tell

Grammy award winning singer, Lady GaGa spoke about the don't ask don't tell policy in our military this Monday on the eve of a Senate race in Portland, Maine. She came with Military, Air force, and Marine veterans who were discharged because of the policy. She proposed that instead of "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" to have "If you don't like it, go home."
They were trying to get Republican Senators to vote to repeal  the policy. Senator Susan Collins has already voted to repeal it, but Senator Olympia Snowe is still undecided.



I think that this is a good idea. I don't think that it's right to keep someone from fighting for their country just because of their sexual orientation. Why is there so much hate towards gay people? It just doesn't make sense to me, I understand if someone is turned down to fight if they were sick or unable to perform necessary tasks in the military but gay people aren't sick and they are able.
Repeal Don't ask. Don't tell!

Justin Bieber Throws Water Balloon at a State Trooper

According to msnbc.com, pop star Justin Bieber had been working on his aim and decided to throw water balloons at peoples crotches. He then hit a state trooper below the belt with one and the cop was about to arrest him but his body guard talked him out of it. Bieber then tweeted "Still laughing. GREAT DAY." The state trooper was there to make sure that Bieber fans didn't get out of control and that's the thanks he gets




How super immature. If that was any other teenager they would've totally been arrested, but because hes "Justin Bieber" he was able to get away with it without any consequences. Every action should have some sort of repercussion no matter who you are and what you do, but for some reason they decided not to... I wonder why.
