Spike? It's you. It's really you! My therapist thought I was holding on to false hope, but…I knew you'd come back. You're like…you're like Gandalf the White, resurrected from the pit of the Balrog, more beautiful than ever. Oh…he's alive Frodo. He's alive.

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

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

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.

I've got to say the SCOTUS has been giving me whiplash with their decisions lately.

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?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

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.

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

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

Prop 8 didn't invalidate existing marriages, right?

Wow.

Okay so if you were gay married and you lived in a state that bans it - you could still get the federal married person tax break but not be allowed to visit your spouse in the hospital?

I can't help but think that the Deen case/story totally shows the problems with SCOTUS' arguements for knocking down that key provision of the Voting Rights Act.
