Aug 05, 2011 2 Comments by

The question of the hour that everyone seems to be asking, from some Prop 8 white supremacists to Queen Latifah on VH1’s “Single Ladies.” Is gay the new black?

Tennessee Cop “Robs” Out-Of-State Driver Of $22,000 After Traffic Stop

Apparently, in the state of Tennessee it’s perfectly legal to commit what’s known as highway robbery. However, if you expect such acts to the the undertaking of the obvious shady criminal element riding a horse and dressed in black as were the bad guys of the wild west, you’re sorely mistaken.
