Este es el hombre que corrieron de Arabia por ser demasiado guapo
¿Recuerdan a los 3 hombres que fueron expulsados de Arabia Saudita por ser demasiado guapos?, al parecer encontraron a uno de ellos. Su nombre es Omar Borkan Al Gala. La semana pasada les presentamos una nota que indicaba la detención y deportación de tres hombres en Arabia Saudita por supuestamente ser muy guapos. Algunos de ustedes se indignaron. No tanto por la deportación, la molestia generalizada fue por que no había fotos de los irresistibles hombres. Pues información reciente, identifica al fotógrafo de moda, actor y poeta, Omar Borkan Al Gala, como uno de los tres guapos varones que fueron acusados se provocar el deseo entre las mujeres árabes y poner en riesgo su moral. Como el evento del que fueron sacados tenía que ver con moda y el pertenece a ese ambiente suena convincente esta versión. Sin embargo, Omar no se ha pronunciado al respecto, aunque es seguro que disfruta de la fama recientemente adquirida por este rumor. Sea o no verdad que el sea uno de los amenazadores guapos que expulsaron de Arabia, sin duda Omar es un hombre francamente irresistible.

"Together, my three brothers own at least a dozen weapons and have yet to harm anyone with them. Despite their guns (or, arguably, because of them), they are quite peaceable," writes Op-Ed contributor Bruce Holbert. "As for me, I have three guns, one inherited and two gifts, and I’m hardly a zealot. In fact I never had much interest in guns. Yet it is I who killed a man."

"A national group of prominent GOP donors that supports gay marriage is pouring new money into lobbying efforts to get Republican lawmakers to vote to make it legal.
American Unity PAC was formed last year to lend financial support to Republicans who bucked the party’s longstanding opposition to gay marriage. Its founders are launching a new lobbying organization, American Unity Fund, and already have spent more than $250,000 in Minnesota, where the Legislature could vote on the issue as early as next week.
The group has spent $500,000 on lobbying since last month, including efforts in Rhode Island, Delaware, Indiana, West Virginia and Utah.
Billionaire hedge fund manager and Republican donor Paul Singer launched American Unity PAC. The lobbying effort is the next phase as the push for gay marriage spreads to more states, spokesman Jeff Cook-McCormac told The Associated Press." Full story here!

Sen. Joe Manchin (D-W.Va.) reflected Saturday on his vote on the repeal of the military's "don't ask, don't tell" policy, saying he was "wrong" to vote "no."
In December 2010, Manchin broke with Democrats and cast a vote against a procedural motion to advance "don't ask, don't tell" repeal legislation. When the Senate voted to repeal the "don't ask, don't tell" policy later that month, Manchin skipped the vote to attend a "holiday gathering."
"That was the wrong vote," Manchin said at a Saturday breakfast hosted by National Journal and The Atlantic, which also featured MSNBC's Rachel Maddow. "Today I would vote the other way."
Kerry Eleveld, formerly of The Advocate, and BuzzFeed's John Stanton tweeted from the breakfast:
“I do not support its repeal at this time,” Manchin said. “I would like to make clear that my concern is not with the idea of repealing DADT, but rather an issue of timing.”
“My concerns, as highlighted in the recent defense survey and through the testimony of the service chiefs, are with the effect implementation of the repeal would have on our front line combat troops at this time,” he said.
Manchin is currently one of three Democrats in the U.S. Senate who have not backed gay marriage.
