scratch that, damn things happen fast

Ban on Gay Marriages Approved:

I'm ashamed, but whaddya goin do? I'm not gay so there's no one I can sue, but I'm thinking there's going to be bunch of lawsuits over it.

Crap, damn fear-mongers.

I really wish you guys could've seen some of these Yes on 8 commercials. They were pretty classic and sickening.

Talking about that your kids are going to learn in school about "boys marrying boys and girls marrying girls". Then they come up real close on this little girl whose face looked like her puppy just got ran over in front of her.

Damn fear-mongers.

I don't agree with it but that is a real concern that a lor of parents have. There are things in this world that they may not disagree with but that they don't know how to deal with telling there kids about. When it is something they don't they don't understand that could be a factor also.

Wow Mike- brains AND beauty.

I hadn't read about that. That's really....odd, and unfortunate.

Good insight, Mike!

From some things I read, it seems like it is kinda Obama's fault that prop 8 passed , ok not his fault but his candidacy that affected it. african americans were the only racial group to overwhelmingly vote yes and they voted in greater numbers than ever before because of Obama. crazy coincidence.

Not for Republicans

So today on the way back from work after my lunch break, I saw this on a car. Not a bumper-sticker, mind you, but hand writtten (very neatly, I might add, which I always appreciate with things of import) in whiteboard marker on the back window.

"THE REPUBLICAN PARTY THINKS YOU ARE STUPID AND RACIST...PROVE THEM WRONG!!!"

Now, unlike Michele Obama, there's no backlash for me to admitting the lack of pride (or shame) of my country that I have felt in the last recent years, but this filled my heart with pride.

Seriously, no offense to Republicans, you can't help yourselves, I know that. Now, there is at least one (well, no, now that I'm thinking about it, only 1) republican that I can honestly say I love and respect personally, and he would be furious and indignant at this, at which time I would laugh at him.

Nevermind. You said "a car" not "my car".

tinypliny - 09/11/08 18:07
Wow, did they type this on your car window?

drew - 09/11/08 18:04
I am happy to say that I know and love and respect a lot of republicans (especially in my family).

They are quite wrong, but I like them anyway.

For Mike - Estelle Getty's passing
Category: golden girls

Alas, Sophia is no longer, at least we can still enjoy her wonderful sarcasm on TV (thank you Lifetime).

Incidentally, Mike, last Friday I read your Rose's joke (Patty O'Furniture). Not an hour later I was enjoying my day-off morning coffee/crossword/golden girls and there was Rose telling that joke. Cracked me up. I figured the time difference was the only reason we didn't see it at the exact same time.

It was supposed to be SoCal Fires

That's all...

"So Fires..." doesn't really make any sense
