SALT LAKE CITY (ABC 4 Utah) – A Utah man is vowing to go without any food until the state stops allowing same sex marriages. He claims if Utah wants to protect traditional marriage, it has an option it’s not using, and he's fasting until it does it.

When same sex marriage became legal in Utah, people immediately reacted. Couples stormed county clerk buildings. State attorneys tried to stop it, and Trestin Meacham started fasting.

"I'm very disappointed," said Trestin Meacham, fasting to stop Utah same sex marriages.

For the past 12 days Meacham hasn't eaten anything. He's surviving solely on water and an occasional vitamin.

"You can start a blog and you can complain on social networks until you're blue in the face and nothing will happen but actions speak louder than words and I'm taking action," said Meacham.

Meacham tells Reporter Brian Carlson he's fasting to convince Utah to exercise the option of “nullification.” It's posted on Meacham's blog. According to his interpretation of states’ rights, Utah can nullify the recent federal court ruling by simply choosing not to follow it.

FORT WORTH, TEXAS (ABC 4 Cowtown) – A Texas man is vowing to go without any food until Tristan Meacham of Salt Lake City dies from hunger. He claims that Texas wants to protect non-eating rights, it has a states' rights option it’s not using, and he's fasting until it does it.

When starvation for political causes became legal in Texas, people immediately reacted. Unknown political hacks and publicity-seekers burned and vandalized county food banks, just to see if they could get on the news. State attorneys tried to stop it, and The Whited Sepulchre, an obscure Texas Libertarian blogger started fasting.

"I'm very disappointed," said Mr. Sepulchre, who is now fasting to support Mr. Meacham's right to starve himself over something that really is none of Meacham's freakin' business.  "I'm doing this to protect Trestin Meacham's right to die." 

For the past 12 days Whited hasn't eaten anything. He's surviving solely on shots of Kentucky Deluxe bourbon.  He also claims that he sometimes gets thirsty enough to actually drink water. 

"You can start a blog and you can complain on social networks until you're blue in the face and nothing will happen but actions speak louder than words and I'm taking action," said The Whited One. "I really want to see Trestin Meacham starve for what should be nothing more than a lifestyle choice." 

Whited tells Reporter Brian Carlson he's fasting to convince Texas to exercise the option of “nullification.” It's posted on The Whited Sepulchre's blog. According to his interpretation of states’ rights, Texas can nullify the recent federal court ruling on force-feeding by simply choosing not to follow it.

"If Trestin Meacham wants to die to prevent gay marriage and Utah illegally tries to force-feed him, I believe that Fort Worth should become Trestin's sanctuary city, take him in, and allow him to die in the comfort and security he deserves."

Following in the footsteps of Douglas Mawson. As long as the ice permits.....

You'll never hear this discussed from the LameStream Media. 
There is a ship stuck in ice, somewhere around the south pole. 
It's a research project to study how much ice has disappeared in the last 100 years. 



Here's a comment by someone named "Rich" on the story
If Rich ever comes to Fort Worth TX, his bar tab is on me

Consider this: 74 Global warming scientists and advocates, plus the ships crew, went to Antarctica in an ice-strengthened ship to prove to the world that Antarctic sea ice had disappeared because of manmade global warming (caused by CO2 they claim.)
This was done in celebration of the trip made 100 years ago and to follow in the footsteps of explorer Douglas Mawson. They got stuck in ten foot thick sea ice they claimed melted away from global warming.
A hundred years ago, the entire region, right up to the shore, was completely clear of ice. Explorer Douglas Mawson got within 50 yards of shore in a wooden ship with only a sextant, and was only stopped because of low water. He then traveled 300 miles inland.
Those on board the Academic Shokalskiy with GPS navigation, on-board Internet, radar, and satellite communications only got within miles of shore. Here they waited in their heated ship to be rescued. First a rescue ship gets within 3.7 miles (pictures on the internet) and the trapped scientists frolic and play and send pictures home in the good weather rather than walking the few miles to the rescue ship. That ship can get no closer so it leaves.
Then a second rescue ship tries and gives up.
 Finally a third tries, to no avail again, and now waits for weather suitable for a helicopter evacuation.
Sounds like a good Discovery Channel documentary as to why the globe is getting warmer.

It IS getting warmer.  ALL of the scientists (those who have skins in the game, anyway) say that it's getting warmer.  But the ice is spreading wider and getting thicker. 

Predictions for 2014

Let's get into some serious prophecy for 2014

1)  The Obamacare rollout (sic) will be a disaster.  Nobody will know who does and who doesn't have insurance.  The Idiot will continue to finesse the program based on polling. 

2) Unfortunately, the Republican Party will have one hell of an election in November.  They're going to take the senate. 

3) The Dallas Cowboys will not win a playoff game.  Head coach Jason Garrett will be fired. 

4) The Libertarian Party will win some down-ballot races in rural Texas. 

5) I'll get down to about 190 pounds. 

6) Jesus will not return to earth to begin his 10,000 year reign as predicted in the Book Of Revelation. 

7) It'll get colder.  Warmists will panic. 

8) We will have a minimum wage increase.  Minority teen employment rates will continue to fall. 

9) U.S. troops will hit the ground in some new and exciting place.  Not because we're needed, not because it's any of our business, but because that's where the money is for contractors. 

10) Barack will continue to make noise about income inequality.  He will neglect to mention the staggering income differences between the worst neighborhood in Fort Worth, Texas, as compared to the best neighborhood in, say, Eritrea.  That's because citizens of Eritrea can't vote in our elections. 

Now that I have all the negativity and cynicism out there, let's hope it's a great year !!
