'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

Very good news to wake up to, both the Texas filibuster ending successfully despite shenanigans and the DOMA decision. Bunches of people I know are going to be benefited by the last, and I have a significant number of TX friends who have valid reason to be proud of their state.

Not so sure about the Australian news: is that good or bad?

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

I'm happy about it, though I doubt it'll make much difference - I still expect the government to be emphatically voted out at our next election (currently scheduled for September, though it might be earlier now). It might, however, avoid a rout and leave us with a possibly functional opposition.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

I googled "gay". What's supposed to happen?

On the federal vs. state recognition of marriage, I know that same-sex couples who are legally married still couldn't file joint federal taxes, which is obviously ridiculous.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

If I recall correctly, Glam was married before Prop 8 was enacted, so she was never not married.
