A lot of people have a (generally) unwarranted fear of going to the dentist, because opening one's mouth under a bright light so a relative stranger can fiddle with one's teeth is a fairly daunting prospect. It's gross, nerve-wracking, and occasionally painful, but it should never, as it was recently for a…
Early Monday morning, a group of same sex couples were the first to get married in Hawaii in a group wedding celebration. Gay marriage was legalized in the state in November, making Hawaii the 15th such state to do so in the United States.
Hawaii State Representative Tom Brower is plum fed up with homeless people, all homelessing around on the streets not having homes, right out there where good homeful people can see them. It's like, UGH, why don't they just go ho—er, um, nm. Fortunately for everyone (oh, except for the victims of the social travesty…
The Hawaii Senate gave final legislative approval on Tuesday to a bill extending marriage rights to same-sex couples. Um, are we all having our destination weddings in Hawaii now? Because we're gonna all be all luaus, flower leis, sunning by the pool side, bikinis, sand in crotch, Blue Hawaiians in our hands now, we…
Can you judge a state by its PornHub keyword searches? Sure. Why not. And guess what? Right now you're probably surrounded by people into MILF massage.
After last week's hellish scandal week, President Barack Obama could use a little PR break. What's this? Photos of a young Barry at his prom have unearthed and Michelle was not his date? Is that infidelity? Does this mean impeachment? IS HE WEARING MARIJUANA AROUND HIS NECK? Nope, this photo is just sweet and innocent. …
Last night, Hawaii not only elected Japan-born Mazie Hirono to be the first ever Asian-American woman elected to the Senate, they also elected Democrat Tulsi Gabbard as the first ever practicing Hindu to the US House of Representatives. Hawaii has been declared a Fox News Disaster Zone.
The Transportation Security Administration has surpassed "mothers-in-law" as the thing about which Americans most love to bitch. But unlike mothers-in-law, the TSA will never make you a hot meal, and they'll certainly never make sure you have clean towels and sheets when you come to visit because Lord knows the gals…
Tourists in Hawaii really like to see dolphins, and that's fine because dolphins are magical (when they're not trying to bad-flipper isolated swimmers or murder innocent tiger sharks), but it's also creating a significant problem: insomniac dolphins aren't getting enough sleep because tourists keep wanting to stare…
Campaign ads are one of the worst parts of any election cycle, and the idea of having to watch them 24/7 sounds, frankly, like torture. That is why it seems very curious that Linda Lingle, a candidate for the U.S. Senate in Hawaii, has taken the unprecedented step of creating her own television channel to broadcast her …
Washington DC's biggest export is bullshit, but not all news out of the Beltway is of or relating to said bullshit. In fact, sometimes, political news can be downright encouraging. Take, for example, the news that these four women — all 36 years old or younger — are running for Congress. Whether they can rattle cages…
In another shining moment in airport security history, a TSA agent at Kauai's Lihue Airport last week refused to let a woman bring her breast pump through security because the milk bottles were empty. Amy Strand, of Maui, was traveling with her 9-month old daughter and was carrying the electric pump. She was told she…
President Obama spent part of his Christmas visiting with troops who are stationed at a Marine Corps Base in Hawaii. At one point he posed for a photo with 8-month-old Cooper Wall Wagner and his parents, Capt. Greg Wagner and Meredith Wagner. While Obama and his parents were all smiles, cute little Cooper casually…
In 2007, a California couple's Hawaiian vacation got off to a bad start when they tried to book a room at the Aloha Bed & Breakfast in Honolulu and were turned away because they're lesbians. When Diane Cervelli said she and Taeko Bufford would only need one bed, owner Phyllis Young explained that she didn't want…
Hawaii's governor signed a bill into law yesterday legalizing civil unions for gay and straight couples in his state, marking another step forward for gay rights. But Obama's still "grappling" with his feelings on gay marriage.
After a long battle, today the Hawaii Legislature finally approved a bill allowing civil unions for same-sex couples. Governor Neil Abercrombie says he plans to sign the bill within 10 days, making Hawaii the seventh state to grant gay couples essentially the same rights as married couples, without actually using the…

Yesterday marked the first time — ever — that the Triple Crown surfing championship staged a women's event at the famous Pipeline, on the island of Oahu in Hawaii.
Hawaii's governor-elect says he'd sign into law legislation granting same-sex civil unions—which would make the Aloha state the sixth to offer the right. A gay legislator says he's optimistic, but it will take "a lot of work."
