Things That Are Hard to Believe About Judge Vaughn Walker

On Wednesday, California Federal Judge Vaughn Walker ruled Proposition 8 unconstitutional. But who is Vaughn Walker? Here’s a list of the things I recently learned about Walker that are hard to believe:

  • Walker is a Republican
  • Walker is gay
  • There is such thing as a gay Republican
  • He’s not taken – Seriously ladies, why haven’t you jumped all over this guy?
What a catch

Hicks: Like Hipsters, but Without iPhones

I’m not new to destructive redneck behavior. After all, I did grow up in Lodi, California, a town know for crazy, white trash idiots, and for being the inspiration for the Creedence Clearwater Revival song “Lodi (is Full of Crazy, White Trash Idiots)”. But a yard sale I saw Friday in sophisticated Culver City really took the hillbilly cake.

Some of the unsurprisingly insane things at this bazaar included:

  • The man conducting all business shirtless
  • His lady friend complaining as she scratched off “the worst lotto tickets in my life”
  • The trailer they likely live out off
  • The “yard” of said yard sale being in the parking lot of a medical marijuana dispensary
  • While demonstrating the power of an aluminum bat, the gentleman hit a softball onto the freeway
Lesson learned: Instead of screening Major League players for steroids, we need to start testing them for bathtub moonshine.
Or that I met the designated hitter
