Election Day

Don't forget to vote today. The local League of Women Voters has a Houston guide, especially good for a crash course on the amendments up for a vote.

I'm more optimistic about the possibility of defeating Prop. 2 than I have any right to be. I live in a slightly Repug-leaning area with a lot of retirees but I've been impressed by the number of yard signs against it - and the utter lack of any for it.

Wouldn't that be a lovely coup? For Texas to be the first state to reject adding hate to our state constitution?
