According to Popnography, Robert Downey Jr. tells Rolling Stone magazine that his rumored bisexuality was something he manufactured:
“A lot of my peer group think I’m an eccentric bisexual. That’s OK. Being relaxed about sexuality is something you’re born with…[My bisexuality] was manufactured. I didn’t have an identity. I was playing around. I expressed it. I grew up in the Rocky Horror Picture Show world, where even my butch friends turned out to be androgynous on Saturday nights.”

Poll: New Jersey Ready for Same-Sex Marriage
Posted on August 20, 2008
Filed Under Gay News Blog | Leave a Comment
A Zogby poll of 803 likely New Jersey voters taken between August 7 and 11 shows the state is more ready than ever to transition from civil unions to same-sex marriage:
“A majority of New Jersey favors marriage for same-sex couples over civil unions – and an even bigger majority is fine with public officials’ changing the civil union law to marriage equality, according to a new statewide Zogby Poll commissioned by Garden State Equality. By 59 to 36 percent, New Jerseyans would be fine with public officials’ changing the civil union law to marriage equality. Indeed, when the poll goes out of its way to remind voters that New Jersey already has a civil union law, a majority of New Jersey still supports marriage for same-sex couples – 50.1 to 42.3 percent. And an astounding 69 percent of New Jerseyans say marriage equality is inevitable in the state.”
Other interesting revelations from the poll, including some first-ever answers on transgender medical insurance:
“New Jersey also wants Governor Corzine to follow the lead of New York Governor David Paterson, who has recognized legal out-of-state marriages of same-sex couples in his own state. In response to the question: Same-sex couples can already be legally married in places outside New Jersey, including California and Massachusetts. Do you think New Jersey should recognize those marriages as marriages in New Jersey? 57 percent said yes and 37 percent said no. 69 percent believe New Jersey will allow same-sex couples to marry, while only 21 percent believe New Jersey would not. 71 percent said, nothing will happen to legislators if they vote for marriage equality ‘because New Jersey voters care more about other issues.’ Only 21 percent said supportive legislators would not be reelected. In one of the poll’s most interesting questions – probably the first time the question has appeared in any poll – a clear majority of New Jerseyans believe insurance companies unfairly discriminate against transgender people by not covering the medical treatments that doctors deem vital to gender transition. 53 percent said this denial by insurance companies is unfair, while only 36 percent said it is fair.”

Humpback Whale Calf Thinks Yacht is its Mother

A troubling situation for this young humpback:
“The 1- to 2-month-old calf was first sighted Sunday in waters off north Sydney, and on Monday tried to suckle from a yacht, which it would not leave. Rescuers towed the yacht out to sea, and the calf finally detached from the boat but still swam nearby, Australian Broadcasting Corp. and Channel 10 television news reported. ‘It’s very young, it still needs milk,’ a National Parks spokesman told Sydney’s Daily Telegraph. ‘It’s a very sad situation. Without its mother at suckling age, we are very concerned. There’s no guarantee another pod will have a lactating mother and no guarantee it will accept it.’ The calf appears exhausted but rescuers hope it will continue out to sea and search for its mother or another pod of whales.”

Guess what? McCain’s rich, and he also probably cheated at the Saddleback Church forum. As the Huffington Post notes, a man’s shoes say quite a bit about him.
MCCAIN’S HOMES
Phoenix $4.6 million
Coronado, CA $2.1 million
Sedona, AZ $1.9 million
Coronado, CA $2.7 million
La Jolla, CA $1 million
Arlington, VA $847,000
Of course there’s nothing wrong with having money, but there’s something to be said about how you treat it, as this new clip from Brave New Films illustrates:
