Good luck, Pico.

Oh dear -- I have heard a family story that some ancestor was the first white man to marry an Indian woman, too. (Although no one thinks that makes us Native American, 15 generations later....) The Indian ancestry thing was an interesting part of the African American Lives show, too -- I don't think anyone who thought they had Indian heritage actually did, once they did the geneology and DNA testing.

The one small piece of...

An Act to Preserve Racial Integrity

For the purpose of this act, the term 'white person' shall apply only to the person who has no trace whatsoever of any blood other than caucasian; but persons who have one-sixteenth or less of the blood of the American Indian and have no other non-caucasic blood shall be deemed to be white persons.

It was on the books until Loving v. Virginia.

and so long as we're on the legal topics, in about six minutes, the Supremes should hand down the final opinions this term, including the DC handgun case, which was probably written by Scalia, so you can guess how that's going to come out.

Long distance Pico ~ma from here too.

No toomah~ma to Pico.

And, universe, I know that a lot of the Buffista pet issues lately have been because you've been kind enough to let them live nice long, long lives, but, even so, could you take it just a little easier on them? It seems like there's been one kitty crisis after another for weeks and weeks now.

If anyone in my family even attempted to claim Indian blood, royal or not, everyone else would just point and laugh.

The DC handgun law has been struck down, in a 5-4 decision, and the majority says there is an individual right to bear arms...

fuckfuckfuckfuckfuck

Woah.

I need to remember to pack tonight. And to take the wedding shower gift with me to the train station tomorrow. I'm so tired that my eyes are crossing, but at least the DayQuil seems to be helping this morning.
