Kansas gets it right:

The Kansas Supreme Court on Friday unanimously struck down a state law that punished underage sex more severely if it involved homosexual acts, saying "moral disapproval" of such conduct is not enough to justify the different treatment.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

Jilli, I will not poke your nose while you are here, however I can not speak for Em. Noses are her "thing" right now. (For your own reference, Emeline's nose goes beep, beep, beep.)

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

I suddenly find myself wondering about the etymology of the word cocktail.

Now tagless for your comfort.

I suddenly find myself wondering about the etymology of the word cocktail.

Wonder away.

I'm beginning to wonder how I lived life before the Wikipedia.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

My boss noticed my boiled sausage arm in the staff meeting. Oh, she thinks I'm such a freak. But at times like this I must chant the Nike hymn:

My knees are tomboys
They get bruised and cut
Every time I play soccer
I'm proud of them and wear my dresses short.
My mother worries
I will never marry
With knees like that
But I know
There's someone out there
Who will say to me:
I love you
And I love your knees.
I want the four of us
To grow old together
Just do it.

Oy. Why is the thing I love so ugly inducing? Ah, well.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Why the fuck is Karen Hughes our Undersecretary of State for Public Diplomacy? Oh wait - this is the Bush administration.

JAKARTA, Indonesia - Karen Hughes, who has faced a rocky road since being named Washington’s public relations chief, answered tough questions Friday about the invasion of Iraq and wrongly stated that Saddam Hussein gassed to death “hundreds of thousands” of his people.

Although the U.S. undersecretary for public diplomacy twice repeated the claim after being challenged by journalists, Gordon Johndroe, a State Department official traveling with Hughes, later called The Associated Press to say she misspoke.

The number is believed to be about five thousand.

Oh, and a few weeks back she was lecturing some people in an Islamic country when she told them that "One nation under God" is in our Constitution.

Nuh-uh.

I'm wondering, in chicken-or-egg fashion, if it's that he'll only hire idiot Yes Men and Women, or if those are the only sorts of people who want to work closely with him and apply for the jobs.
