As noted by Handy, the California Supreme Court has struck down that state's essential ban on gay marriage. Score one for the good guys (and gals), as I for one tired quite easily of anyone denying anyone, anywhere, any of their rights.

On a more predictable front, we have good ol' Dubbya scoring points for all manner of hate, foolishness and ignorance the world over. Comparing the Democrats, and parenthetically Obama, to the pre-WWII European diplomats who appeased Hitler? Really? Um, wow. I have railed in this forum about the politics of fear, how tiresome it is, and how it needs to be done away with.  What we have here today, ladies and gentlemen, is fear-mongering at its very very finest.  I loathe this man, I did before today, but he's taken it to a whole new level.  It's nearly criminal what he's done, and what he continues to do. It makes me want to puke.

Speaking of Dubbya and his cronies, at least there is hope for justice at some point down the road.

In a related note, at least there is someone out there who has the stones to stand up to Bush and speak in the kind of elementary school language he can understand.

Oh, and on the off chance that McCain beats the Democratic nominee (probably Obama at this point, right?), at least we'll be out of Iraq in time for my 30th birthday.

Ugh.
