First things first: @libertad #79 got me thinking about the environment, sort of - so my new user sound is '(Nothing But) Flowers' by the Talking Heads gather:0052634001152745342

I'm a little cheesed off about work- I got the last three articles dumped on my desk at 5:30 this evening, a half hour after I was supposed to have already been at my mom's house to tend to her dog. One of them was supposed to be a web exclusive that we were going to promote on the cover, but it's in the paper this week. Is it just me, or does something cease to be a web exclusive once you run it through the press? Ohhh.... just the video is exclusive to the web, because that's a special thing. Wouldn't it be more impressive if we did run the video in the paper? Pick the most important 54 frames and print them in the corner of every page so you can flip through them real fast?

The moral of the story is: the dog pooped all over the floor.

ps. The video is kind of blah, but it's worth it just to see Antoine Thompson try to say that he supports gay marriage without actually saying that he supports gay marriage. Also, props to Sam Hoyt for showing up and going on-record, though his argument that gay marriage would be good for Buffalo's economy is, like, really weird.

    I will admit that I didn't read or see his argument that economicly Gay Mariage would be good for buffalo isn't really a weird Idea. It is the Same Idea that Vegas and Atlantic City use for Gambleing. Since it is legal there it draws a lot of people to that area and brings in lots of money. The same could be said for Gay Mariages (yes he stole his idea from a simpsons episode maybe but that is ok) People from other states would travel to NY State to get legally Married. Since the marriages really wouldn't be recognised many places in the country there is a good chance that it would get people to move here and population groth is good. One good thing about presenting something as a monatary benifit is that it dosn't raise any questions about weather it is moral or not, you arn't really saying you are for it or agansit you are saying it would be good for the state. I think Buffalo would be a much better place to get married and live then say NYC (no disrespect) or rochester or albany so I think it could help Buffalo a lot. Moraly I have no problems with gay marriage. I think everyone should have the same rights and civil unions do give those same rights but I don't think that is enough. I know there are people who hate the idea of civil unions and are verry opposed to gay mariage. I wonder if someday gay marriage will be known as Same Sex Marriage. It takes out some of the connotations of the word gay. I've allready said more then I meant to but I'm interested in learning more about how differant politicans feal on this matter.

    Not to obscure some really good larger points that Metalpeter makes in his comment, but dammit Mp, you're absolutely right! He did steal the idea from a Simpsons episode. I knew it sounded familiar!
