We previously mentioned that a cat was running for mayor of Veracruz's state capital, Xalapa in Mexico.

His name is Morris and his campaign is actually gaining traction!! He's a social media star!

His Facebook page has over 130,000 likes! That's more than any other candidate!

Priorities, guys, priorities!

With so much wrong in the nation and the world, why the hell is anyone still focused on doing pointless things like keeping marijuana criminalized (not every state is like this) and banning paraphernalia? Are they really going to use tax-payer money to enforce this??

Give us a break!

Gov. Rick Scott seems to think it's a good idea to legally ban bongs!

Someone was clearly listening to Melissa Etheridge!

New Hampshire finally agreed on a bill that would legalize medical marijuana, making them the last state in New England to do so.

Governor Maggie Hassan made a statement, saying:

Lil' Wayne had a BIG problem on Monday after video of the hip hop artist surfaced showing him not only dropping an American flag on the ground but then REPEATEDLY stepping all over it!

Oh Weezy. No, no, no!

The video sparked an uproar on the internet with many calling Lil Wayne's performance downright unpatriotic. Now, he's saying that's just not true! Lil Wayne tweeted out Tuesday morning:

We bet Michelle Obama will never get bangs again.

The seemingly innocent hair change has been making tidal waves since its debut back in January, with everyone from Karl Lagerfeld proclaiming his distaste to President Obama himself making some lighthearted cracks about it during the White House Correspondents' Dinner.

Now that FLOTUS is going through the frustrating process of growing them out, she's getting backlash from a bunch of citizens on Twitter!

During an appearance at the G8 Summit in Belfast, Northern Ireland on Monday, her bangs

Well, this is sure to outrage someone!

While shooting the video for his upcoming single God Bless Amerika, Lil' Wayne used a a giant American flag as backdrop for one of the scenes!!

Don't get too excited for a patriotic Weezy just yet, though!!!

As soon as the cameras began rolling, the American flag fluttered down to the ground and the 30-year-old entertainer began trampling all over the sacred symbol while spewing lyrics about the decline of our great nation!!

Ch-ch-check out the vid for yourself (above)!

Ruh-roh!!

Folks are probably super pissed he danced all over our nation's flag while singing: "God bless Amerika / This ole' godless Amerika."

Freedom of speech certainly permits Weezy to desecrate a flag, but backlash from this stunt may hurt album sales!!!

Woo Hoo!

Another brave famous face reppin' the gay community!!!

One of our fave folksters, Jenny Owen Youngs, has come out of the closet and in a BIG way.

The songstress wrote, in an open letter on EveryoneIsGay.com, that she is in fact a lesbian. Not only that, but Jenny dives into her past struggles with sexuality, her coming out story, AND her plans to marry the advocacy site's co-crreator Kristin Russo.

Jenny wrote:

"I’m writing to tell you, among other things, that I am super gay…I think it is damaging and isolating for young people to look out into the world and not see a representation of their experience. To encounter others who are like you is to know that you are not alone. Even if you never meet them in real life, these representatives help to contextualize you – they are proof that you are part of something. You are not an anomaly. You are not a mistake.I am thankful that in recent years, it has become a bit more common for people from all walks of life to step forward and identify themselves as human beings who also happen to be gay. I am proud to offer my voice to that expanding chorus."

And we're SO proud to have you singing for equality with us!!

If only we could get to a point where we didn't have to remind people that who they are is not a mistake.

Thankfully, our community is lucky to have such a strong, eloquent advocate to help us makes leaps in accepting EVERYONE, no matter what their sexuality is!
