Death is your art. You make it with your hands day after day. That final gasp, that look of peace. And part of you is desperate to know: What's it like? Where does it lead you? And now you see, that's the secret. Not the punch you didn't throw or the kicks you didn't land. She really wanted it. Every Slayer has a death wish. Even you.

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

Remanded back to the state of CA?

"The Ninth Circuit was without jurisdiciton to consider the appeal. The judgment of the Ninth Circuit is vacated, and the case is remanded with instructions to dismiss the appeal for lack of jurisdiction."

I'm sorry to be so dense, but I don't know what that means. Prop. 8 is unconstitutional? Or still stands? Or something otherwise different?

They have basically said that the supporters of Prop 8 who brought the case shouldn't have been allowed to do so. Basically, it will go back to things the way they stood before Perry.

ETA: So, no ruling on the constitutionality (or not) of Prop 8 from the Supremes.

Which means Prop. 8 is unconstitutional? (Sorry to be such a moron.)

Our wings are not tired.

MSNBC says marriage is now legal in CA again.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

That's fantastic. I declare this to be a day of high drama.
