Happy Birthday to superl99!

Doing my part to ensure it's an excellent one, I volunteer to abstain from singing to you.

Starting today, Texans can vote on the next round of state constitutional amendments. The forces of hate have been industrious -- they want a constitutional amendment to define marriage as between one man and one woman -- and they've tacked on a nifty little extra:

"...prohibiting this state or a political subdivision of this state from creating or recognizing any legal status identical or similar to marriage."

I wish I had something pithy or insightful to say to this - but I don't. I just don't get it. War is peace. Black is white. In is out. Outlawing marriage is protecting it. Feh!
