When I saw this poster I thought it would be something fun to go to maybe but I didn't want to go by myself really. If that is the time you want to go to e-mail me back telling me when and where I should meet you. Don't ask me why I like the stripteasers cause I have no idea really why I like them. I'll hopefully check my e-mail sometime before it is to late on Friday, I'm sure I'll come here also if you post comments or if anyone else posts comments also.

While reading Lawrence v. Texas...
In Lawrence v. Texas (2003) the supreme court overturned Bowers v. Hardwick (1986) and said states can't prohibit consenting adults from enjoying sodomy. It reminded me of this excellent little clip by Molly Ivins


Texas' anti-sex-toy law was overturned Feb. 14, 2008, but they're still illegal in Alabama!


Enjoy!

I know Texas will enjoy.

Two good articles
Category: news
About NYS delays on gay marriage legislation:


Stuff that Nader talked about during dinner regarding the impending government bailout of the automakers shows up in this really good article from Robert Weismann:



And bummer news: my tuition for spring semester, as an out-of-state law student, just increased by $2,130 :-(

Thanks for posting these!

(e:paul) - approximately a year. I've switched my voter registration, truck registration and drivers license and will file taxes in NYS to demonstrate my in-state-ness for next year.

(e:jbeatty) - medical, dental and pharmacy all got it worse than law... but damn! Why aren't those MBA bastards getting screwed as bad?* And why is their tuition so low anyway???

(I think it's just a straight percentage increase so the latter question is more important.)
jbeatty - 12/03/08 22:29
Yeah, that really sucks. The out of state students got shafted hard. The medical school price went up by $3500. I was pissed when I found out how much my tuition went up till I saw how bad it could have been.

How long does it take to be in-state?

ani concert tomorrow?
Category: concerts
somehow i've managed not to find anyone to go with me to the ani difranco concert at babeville tomorrow night... anyone interested?

doors open at 7pm and i think it's general admission so we might need to be there earlier than that (anyone know?)

use that little envelope icon below my avatar to send me an email.

:-)

(this is my 50th post!!)
fellyconnelly - 11/29/08 18:42

paul - 11/28/08 23:38
Go 50 posts! Sorry about the text message based posts. Something about them is not compatible with the system.
mrmike - 11/28/08 22:13
Congrats on the 50! I would love to see Ani in her house but I got the kids tomorrow night. If it was tonight, I'd be all over it.

It's a beautiful gallery. There were some really cool paintings in the large half moon room.
