I can tell that is a photoshop because the shadow from the palm-tree would be visible based on the frame of reference that the distant lighthouse gives.

That comes from message boards where pictures are routinely posted. Some "expert" will always chime in about why it is a photoshop, and they usually are as valid as what I posted.

If that is true, Russia will be devastated.

"Benefits extended to US gay military spouses"
"The Pentagon also stated it would grant leave for military personnel stationed in a US state that does not permit same-sex marriage to travel to a jurisdiction where they can marry legally."
there's more..

US military same-sex spouses will gain all benefits open to opposite-sex spouses by 3 September, Pentagon officials have said.
It includes healthcare and housing and will be open to any military member with a valid marriage certificate.
Plans to extend benefits to unmarried gay couples have been dropped.
The move comes after the US Supreme Court struck down a federal law that defined marriage as between one man and one woman.
The Pentagon had already extended certain privileges to same-sex couples after a ban on openly gay troops - known as Don't Ask, Don't Tell - was repealed in September 2011. But most benefits had been off-limits until the Supreme Court ruling.

Well, it's late and I tried to find some sleazy Maxwell Smart global plot to post. All I got was Vincent Price and a bikini machine. Sleazy enough at this late hour, I suppose.
BTW, nice rainbows. That would serve Putin right.
