Today only, Amazon has Dr. Horrible’s Sing-Along-Blog soundtrack for only FIVE BUCKS. That’s flippin’ sweet! (Jen, don’t buy it, I already did).\ Also, this protest against Prop 8 in California is super-awesome. I love it when people are creative and funny in the face of what now seem to be pretty insurmountable odds.
The LDS Church’s response to Prop 8 passing: Read the statement.\ bq. We hope that now and in the future all parties involved in this issue will be well informed and act in a spirit of mutual respect and civility toward those with a different position. No one on any side of the question should […]
I am still furious that the LDS Church supported California’s Prop 8.\ I am heartbroken that it passed.\ I am incredulous that the pro-8 people misled and lied to voters.\ I am disappointed that it worked.
It was a long night. It’s been a long campaign. But, as I sit here with tears in my eyes watching our new President-Elect speak, I can’t help but think about the promise of the next administration. Throughout the last two years, I’ve hoped that Barack Obama would be the next President. He’s the first […]
I just want to write this down so I remember it later. I woke up at 5:30 this morning full of nervous energy, thinking about today and what’s happening around the country. I’m excited, but most of all, I’m hopeful. I’m hopeful that Obama will win, and not just with a slim margin like the […]
Lawrence Lessig provides a great argument against Proposition 8. It’s reasoned, has a sound legal backing (because, he’s Lawrence Lessig), and is profound in its simplicity. It perfectly echoes my own feelings on it, and does a great job of dissolving the rationale for the proposition without insulting those who support it. Great great stuff. […]
It’s in every one of us To be wise Find your heart Open up both your eyes We can all know everything Without ever knowing why It’s in every one of us By and by It’s in every one of us To be wise Find your heart Open up both your eyes We can all […]
1. The broken pipe isn’t actually going into the house in Va, so yay! They won’t have to tear up the house to fix the problem. This means the estimate was a lot higher than the actual bill will be. Phew. “Tonight we eat like the lower middle class to which we aspire.”\ 2. Speaking […]
More from me-\ I get that the LDS church wants to silence dissents, but this guy isn’t speaking out about church doctrine. The petition states: We affirm the LDS Church’s right to define doctrine and policy for its own members. So, let the church proclaim all it wants about whatever. Let the church dictate the […]
I am vehemently against Prop 8 on California’s ballot in November.\ Ok, Church, do to me what you will.\ ETA- Kevin’s post beat mine by 6 minutes! I knew I shouldn’t have wasted time with a potty break!
