You know what this country is apparently missing? Public Executions. That's why all these kids are running around with their pants hanging down, playing their loud hippity-hop music, and swearing! You know who North Carolinian Representative Larry Pittman thinks needs some hanging? Why those abortionists, with their legally performed services! Who cares about pesky things like laws?!
HANG HANG HANG!
In Tennessee, apparently it's true that you can't get HIV from having heterosexual sex. In this scenario, I think it would almost be appropriate for State Senator Stacey Campfield to try and test this theory, but the douche would probably only end up spreading the disease to some unlucky partner. Seriously, that is a bubble that cannot be broken and googling facts from 1988 is not the best way to back up any theory.

Governor Chris Christie on Equality: "The fact of the matter is," he said, "I think people would have been happy to have a referendum on civil rights rather than fighting and dying in the streets in the South."
Silly Martin Luther King Jr. What were you thinking with your marches and what not?! Don't you know that all those white Americans spitting in your face just wanted to vote on whether you were equal and human and it would have worked out?!

A cruise ship runs aground, passengers are killed, a captain slips away and is derelict of his duty a thousand times over. But who is to blame? Right Wing Watch points out that some on the Right would say that it was "those feminists".
Perhaps Debbie said it best: "maybe if i were more pregnant, this tragedy wouldnt have occurred!"
Governor O'Malley makes true on his promise back in June to help support a bill that will bring marriage equality to his state. As previously discussed, he'll be following the steps of Cuomo, who helped usher the issue in New York, and Gregoire, whose support in Washington appears to have helped bring that state tantalizingly close this legislative season.
Over in New Jersey, Governor Chris Christie instead reiterated that he believes that minority rights should be put to popular vote and promised to veto any attempt for the legislature to pass marriage equality in his state. It is my hope that Senator Jennifer Beck ( R ) will use some of her clout in order to win Republican support for the bills to somehow overcome this veto.
Either way, how empowering that two years ago we lost and now we might at least get the bills passed in the legislature? If he vetoes and we can't overcome it, well… it's a movement forward and I am positively not looking at just another silver lining.
Today, Senator Mary Margaret Haugan announced that she would be the decisive 25th vote for marriage equality in her state's Senate. This still leaves four Senators who have yet to make public announcements about their support, but even if they landed in the nay column this is a hurdle that has been overcome!
I know that counting your eggs before you hatch can be dangerous (Maryland, as always I look at you), but when a governor has declared support, 25 Senators are there to help push the bill through, and there are enough votes in the legislature, well it just makes you smile. Or cry. I just did a hell of a lot of crying.
