In the news.

Massachusetts Rejects Gay Marriage Amendment: The proposed Constitutional amendment to ban gay marriage in Mass. was overwhelmingly voted down, 157-39. Those that voted against it included those who had previously supported the ban. In fact, one of the co-sponsors, Republican state Senator Brian Lees, said, "Gay marriage has begun, and life has not changed for the citizens of the commonwealth, with the exception of those who can now marry. This amendment which was an appropriate measure or compromise a year ago, is no longer, I feel, a compromise today."

In less cheerful news, Karl Rove has been put in charge of Katrina reconstruction efforts (It's slipped into the ninth paragraph, so look close!). I have no doubt that his tremendous experience in things not at all related to disaster recovery will serve him well in his endeavors. Well, at least Halliburton is happy, right? And for those who believe Bush really stands for limited government, I give you a quote from him, "It is now clear that a challenge on this scale requires greater federal authority and a broader role for the armed forces." Yes, indeedy.

Also! Yesterday, a naked man, wearing nothing but sneakers and a football helmet ran through my university cafeteria. It's just one of those things that makes you feel kind of giggly inside.

Are you saying you plan to run past me naked at the party?

Well, this one time at band camp...
Actually, I did go as a flasher to a Halloween party once...

...dare I even /ask/ about the costume? Trenchcoat, I presume?

Actually, I was thinking if it gets dull, of volunteering YOU to run past everyone naked.

You'd be next on the volunteer path, m'dear. Equal opportunity and all that.

Get me slightly buzzed and everyone else in the right stage of drunkeness, and I might contemplate it. :P

I will remember this in a few weeks, sometime after midnight.
