He obliged.

Proving once again there was no day so historic that it could not be spoiled with partisan assholery, the Republican-led House refused to let the tweets settle on President Obama's same-sex marriage support proclamation before moving to hobble it with a measure ensuring the Justice Department could not actively oppose the anti-gay Defense of Marriage Act.

The NYPD's "stop and frisk" program has garnered criticism in the past, in part because it is essentially one big "Racism License: Hunt Anyone That Your Personal Prejudices Cause You to Deem as 'Suspicious' At Will" license for NYPD officers, who are not, as a group, known for their unerring sense of racial fairness. In other news, the numbers show the stop and frisk program is being used racist-ly.

By the unanimous consent of all voting lawmakers, Argentina yesterday approved a gender rights package that will allow all adult citizens to change their sex at will — even without undergoing surgery or hormone replacement therapy.

The United States is a slightly better place to be a mom this year than it was last year, according to the annual State of the World's Mothers report released by the Save the Children international aid organization earlier this week.

On tonight's Colbert Report, Stephen Colbert examined the work of one Jon McNaughton who has quickly become the right's favorite artist. With paintings that feature President Obama burning and stepping on the Constitution, it's clear to see why they love him. The artist's claim that his work is filled with subtlety and deep meaning is a little less clear.

A study of New York City's emergency communications system has revealed that New Yorkers' butts are steady calling the operators at 911, asking do they like them, asking are they asleep yet, asking what are they thinking about.

Earlier today, President Obama stated that he believes that same sex couples should be able to marry. On tonight's Daily Show, Jon Stewart weighed in on those comments and the reaction to them. He also had some harsh words for North Carolina and the state's new stringent anti-marriage equality law.

New York. A concrete jungle where dreams are made of/oh/up. There's nothing you can't do. Including looking at child porn online— the state has just ruled that that's legal, MSNBC reports.

Star Wars creator George Lucas has announced plans to inflict rickety, consumption-ridden poor people on one of America's wealthiest counties, according to The San Francisco Chronicle.

Wonderful news for cheap people and kids looking to make a quick buck this summer: doctors at Memorial Hermann hospital in Houston live-tweeted some light brain surgery today, making it easier than ever to recreate the experience at home.

Speaking of male R&B crooners, here's something more sleazy than soulful from Usher's forthcoming, inanely named album Looking 4 Myself. Despite the tactile production of satisfying synth smears, tough thwacks and insistent ticking, the track kind of falls apart when Ursh flips out of his longing falsetto to a whining lechery. This comes after the underwhelming release of the by-the-numbers house of Usher's "Scream" — here's hoping that Looking's first single, the lovely, Diplo-produced "Climax" is, isn't in fact its climax.

Fifty Shades of Grey, America's number one Soccer mom smut erotica, has been banned from Florida's Brevard County Libraries system.

On this historic day of heart-warming (if meaningless) declarations of support for gay marriage, let's just point out one more influential figure who's declared support, maybe: Method Man.

The lawyer representing the two masseurs accusing John Travolta of sexual assault says more may come forward very soon.

ABC News has only released one brief clip of Obama's conversation about gay marriage today, but it seems fairly clear from the network's coverage that his announcement amounts to much less than meets the eye.

This is like saying that black children and white children ought to attend the same schools, but if the people of Alabama reject that notion—what are you gonna do?

Even for conservatives, the Mitt Romney campaign provides a meeting point between high finance and low expectations. Now that the GOP nomination is all but officially wrapped up, Mitt is free to shake the Etch-a-Sketch, tack to the center and betray the perfectly reasonable people who wear felt hats, stockings and breeches to point out the villainy of, say, Head Start.

World renowned hairdresser Vidal Sassoon, inventor of the revolutionary "wash-and-wear" hair style for women, passed away this morning in his Mulholland Drive home surrounded by family members.
