President Joe Biden took a stab at former President Barack Obama on the issue of gay marriage during a gaggle with reporters on Tuesday, as the rift between the two continues to widen. “Well, I’m really proud of my position,” Biden told reporters when asked about his “legacy for LGBTQ Americans.” “I was the first guy to come out for gay marriage. Remember that little problem with the Obama administration?” Biden was referring to an episode in 2012 where he sidestepped Obama on the issue during the heat of the presidential election, announcing that he was “absolutely comfortable” with gay marriage on NBC’s Meet the Press despite Obama’s obfuscation on the question, according to The Telegraph. A few days later, Obama acquiesced and affirmed Biden’s position. Biden later apologized to Obama for getting out ahead of him, according to CNN. The rehashing comes after Obama applied pressure alongside Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) and other party bigwigs to push Biden off the ticket.Read it at TelegraphRead more at The Daily Beast.

A bill quietly introduced this spring in the Colorado legislature to decriminalize the possession of drug paraphernalia obtained by harm reductionists has become law. As low-key as the legislation was introduced, the bill was signed into law without fanfare June 6. It garnered little to no media attention.

When I studied Anthropology in college, I learned that teeth have been indicators of economic status just about forever. Archaeologists look at the teeth in ancient skeletons and know who the rich were based on their tooth decay. During the Renaissance period, it became fashionable for women to blacken their teeth to look like they were better off than they were, because the royals and aristocrats, who could afford sugar and sweets, had more rotten and missing teeth than the poor.
