Billy Bush of Access Hollywood asked Mockler about rumors that Prejean had a breast implant procedure in the weeks leading up to the national pageant and that it had been funded by the Miss California pageant organization. Bush inquired, “Did you guys pay for it?” Shauna responded, “Yes we did. It was something that we all spoke about together. It was an option and she wanted it. And we supported that decision.”Billy Bush of Access Hollywood asked Mockler about rumors that Prejean had a breast... more

Last night Kristen Dalton of North Carolina was named Miss USA 2009, but no one really cares. The real highlight of the event was Carrie Prejean, Miss California, being questioned by judge Perez Hilton about gay marriage. Here is the transcript of the exchange:
PEREZ: Vermont recently became the fourth state to legalize same-sex marriage. Do you think every state should follow suit? Why or why not?
CARRIE: I think it's great that Americans are able to choose one or the other. We live in a land that you can choose same-sex marriage or opposite marriage and, you know what, in my country and my family I think that I believe that a marriage should be between a man and a woman. No offense to anyone out there but that's how I was raised and that's how I think it should be between a man and a woman.
She clearly came down on the side of "opposite marriage," basically saying "no offense but your lifestyle isn't valid." I'm guessing Perez didn't give her his vote, but Carrie still managed to finish as first runner up in the pageant.
Perez later video-blogged about the incident calling her a "dumb bitch."

Regarding Miss California, At Least Anita Bryant Could Sing -- Michael Rowe - Author

When contemplating the white trash Lollapalooza that is the strange tale of Carrie Prejean, this year's Miss California and first runner-up to the Miss U.S.A. 2009 crown vs. the Coming Storm of Gay Marriage, it's best to acknowledge the bikini-waxed elephant in the room, which is that the National Organization for Marriage (NOM) considers a bleached blonde 21-year-old girl with artificially augmented breasts who's apparently never had a serious long-term relationship in her life to be the ideal spokesmodel for their cause.
There, we've said it. Never mind the easy metaphors, all of which are too obvious. Instead, let's bite right into the Velveeta-stuffed center.
Cue the circus music and send in the clowns.
Only in America would the notion of a nearly-naked fundamentalist Christian beauty queen tossing her processed hair as she parades brand new, pageant-bought plastic breasts across a Las Vegas stage in front of millions of television viewers with all the modesty of a blue ribbon heifer at a county livestock fair (the same fundamentalist Christian beauty queen who would later tell a television reporter that she heard God whispering in her ear as she answered a celebrity-worshipping Internet gossip columnist's question about gay marriage) be treated as anything other than an occasion for high comedy and mirth.
Were these times any other than the politically charged times they are, the subsequent media firestorm set off by Miss Prejean's carryings-on would be similarly laughable. But since these are the only times we have, it's worth noting that there's been a metallic aftertaste of self-serving manipulation to this story from the beginning. Furthermore, there's more than enough of that cynical opportunism to go around, and it encompasses everyone: from Perez Hilton, the Internet gossip columnist who asked her the question in the first place, to the organizers of NOM, to the pastor at Miss Prejean's "home" megachurch, to the Miss U.S.A. pageant, to the media who are covering a story that has legs in every sense of the term, and of course, to Miss Prejean herself.
To recap, for anyone who hasn't turned on a television or computer, or read a newspaper in the last week: on April 29th at the Miss U.S.A. pageant, "celebrity blogger" Perez Hilton asked Miss California if she thought that the equal marriage ought to be extended to gay and lesbian couples across the country.
"I think it's great that Americans are able to choose one or the other," Prejean famously replied. "We live in a land that you can choose same-sex marriage or opposite marriage and, you know what, in my country and my family I think that I believe that a marriage should be between a man and a woman. No offense to anyone out there," she tittered, knowing full well that she was offending millions of people watching and maybe rooting for her. "But," she trilled, "that's how I was raised and that's how I think it should be between a man and a woman."
Some members of the audience booed, surely a first for the Miss U.S.A. pageant. Maximizing the Jerry Springer quality of the situation, a brawl broke out in the lobby after the show with Miss New Mexico's mother, Bianca Matamoros-Koonce, shrieking "In the Bible it says marriage is between Adam and Eve, not between ADAM AND STEVE!"Regarding Miss California, At Least Anita Bryant Could Sing -- Michael Rowe - Author... more

Unfortunately, no. This may sound harsh, but it is true. Man didn’t make up this rule --God did. The Father in Heaven isn’t concerned with being politically correct; He is concerned with bringing each and every human being into a right relationship with Him through His Son Jesus.
God has provided a very specific plan, and a clear explanation of this plan through His Word, the Bible. God would love to have everyone join Him in Heaven, but in order to gain entrance to eternal rest with God in Heaven, we must believe that Jesus is the Son of God. We need to repent of our sin, and confess that Jesus is Lord of our life.
God is very clear that there are no other gods above Him and no other paths to eternity. In fact, Christianity is the only religion that promises salvation from sin and eternity in Heaven with God.
God the Father, one third of the Trinity, is very clear that Jesus the Son of God, the second part of the Trinity, provided the sacrifice for mankind necessary to receive relationship with God.
The Holy Spirit, the third part of the Trinity, guides us and comforts us as we remain on earth, awaiting heaven. Every part of our spiritual walk includes the three parts of the Trinity, and each part points us to Heaven. God is all about consistency. Because of that, no other “path” or life outside of relationship with God the Father through Jesus Christ, can lead to Heaven.Unfortunately, no. This may sound harsh, but it is true.
