My favorite part from the hatpin article:
“I do not believe there was ever a time in history when women have shown so much eccentricity in their personal adornment as at present,” he said. “We have the tight skirt, the marcel mave, and now comes the yard-wide hat, with its remarkable accessories.”
“In addition to ribbons, laces, wires, flowers, vegetables, animals, and birds, women’s headgear is armed with the deadly ‘snickersee.’ If women care to wear carrots and roosters on their heads, that is a matter of their own concern, and it cannot be interfered with by the city, but when it comes to wearing swords they must be stopped. One man told me he was almost decapitated in the City Hall elevator by the sweep of a hatpin like a scimitar worn by one of the City Hall belles.”
OMG, we had a Veronica Mars thread? Really? And I posted in it 65 times? And don't remember it at all?
I'm really getting old.

...we used to have thread.
And P-C was only the second most prolific poster (Cindy had him beat by almost 200 posts).

Damn. City Hall belles were like Ninjas.
Cindy's love for Veronica Mars was so very shiny at the time.

But surely you weren't the top poster in it?
I know there are threads I never enter and it's NICE not to be the top posters there. Natter, though, I natter therefore I am (procrastinating usually).

xpost, obviously.
By standing up you mean coming out?
The statement, IMO, implies that he personally disagrees with the way he voted on gay rights. It would be cowardly to campaign on what you feel is wrong just to get elected.
