Zoe: What's that, sir? Mal: Freedom, is what. Zoe: No, I meant what's that? Mal: Oh. Yeah. Just step around it. I think something must've been living in here.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
33-29!!!! We did it!!!
Hey, with reference to all the complaints from the social conservative right about change being pushed through by 'activist judges': is this the first state to succeed in introducing it through the legislature? Or did Vermont or such like beat them to the punch?

Looks like Vermont and New Hampshire were legislative, as was Maine, but then the law was overturned by referendum.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
is this the first state to succeed in introducing it through the legislature?
I don't think so, but I have no data at hand. I think it's the second one.
Maddow pointed out that, this bill having failed the first time, there were both Democrats and Republicans who changed their minds and voted Yea this time, to pass it. One Repub senator made a speech about how he could find no legal justification for refusing to allow same-sex marriage. I caught part of it; he sounded so sincere and impassioned about it, at first I didn't understand what he was saying.

Mark Grisanti, from up in Sophia's part of the state, and one of the undecideds until the end. Also the source of my new tagline for life: "You can be wiser today than you were yesterday, if you do the work". DAMN, dude. That was some fine speech and I want it on YouTube now.
(Apparently, he was also lobbied by Lady Gaga.)

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

Strange times we live in.
Apparently more Republicans are realizing the country is moving fairly fast to acceptance of gay marriage. The Republican wedge issue is turning around and starting to bite them in the ass.

This weekend I'm heading to Eureka Springs to spend a couple of nights in the historic hotel I stayed at last year. Much lazing around should ensue, and this time I know in advance that they have the best restaurant in the state.
