TOM SCOLA!
y'all Tom made me cry.......but in a good way.
Which is to say, thank you for the NYC Transit Poster.
He even got an image of one of the trains I took home sometimes.
and mac will thank you for the comic books also, but not until he knows about them, which will not be today.
Scola rocks!
Aww. We love the Scola. HUGS!
...I am listening to the new music I downloaded last night, but I think I need something more upbeat than "Jar of Hearts" to make me motivated to do work. Hrmph.
This may be the most bat-shit crazy defense of Prop 8 I've come across. And that's a pretty fucking high bar these days. [link]
This, on the other hand, is made of awesome: [link]
Scola is indeed awesome.
Awwww, how sweet of Tom.
x-posted with Spike's: I offer this as evidence of how good Matilda was with Chile Pepper yesterday! [link]

Oy, brenda. Hard to know where to start with that one.
Marriage is to protect female sexuality? From whom? Those foolish women who think they're allowed to do with their sexuality what they want? Or no one's going to want it unless they have to marry us?
Sorry, I haven't read the article, yet. I keep forgetting the Christian Science Monitor, for all its reasonableness, is the paper of a religion.
edit: Have read. Am even more annoyed. So unless society protects little ol' us by making those untrustworthy men marry us, we'll just become chattal and slaves and concubines without having the personal wherewithal to smack said man in the face and saying "No way, buster", or even just calling the cops and saying, "This guy, in jail, now." Because marriage is the only source of power we apparently have.

I think so you only get raped by the one man, rather than by any random Joe? Or something? My head is still spinning.
Apart from my head-spinny, angry reaction to the initial premise, there's the more important follow up: but marriage as a cultural institution has changed and women's role in society has changed. That's not the basis for marriage in America in 2010, so why should it be the basis for Judge Walker's decision?
