OH NO! Raghead profiling!
Release The Hounds!
My God! George Bush's new campaign advertisement has a brief shot of a "swarthy-skinned" man who might possibly be construed as "Arab!" And the ad suggests he might be construed as a ... "terrorist!" Release the hounds! [Little Green Footballs]

Quote of the Day
Okay: what are the personal attacks? Criticizing someone’s record is not a personal attack. “My opponent is a sad half-man who licks laudanum off the bellies of toothless syphilitic doxies” is a personal attack. [lileks.com]

Two States Deal Setbacks to Gay Marriage (AP)
AP - The California Supreme Court on Thursday ordered an immediate halt to gay marriages in San Francisco, delivering a victory to conservatives who have fought for a month to block the ceremonies. [Yahoo! News - Top Stories]
What? No stomach for anarchy? Why - that's discrimination against people who thinks laws are for other people. People who are too damn lazy and impatient to get the laws changed the way everyone else has to. People who force our president into a corner so he has to hold his nose and do something. At least he recommended doing something that is within the law instead of just saying "You know, I don't agree with the way the laws are written so I will just do what I damn well please and to hell with everyone else.
You really screwed the pooch on this one people. You have alienated all the people who would have been behind you 100 percent. They would have organized with you, they would have marched with you, they would have written letters to legislators, they would have done anything to help because they believed your cause was just. Now they don't care if you ever get what you want. Happy? CP

San Francisco Logic....
( A scene at City Hall in San Francisco )
"Next." Good morning. We want to apply for a marriage license." ""Names?" "Tim and Jim Jones." "Jones? Are you related? I see a resemblance." "Yes, we're brothers." "Brothers? You can't get married." "Why not? Aren't you giving marriage licenses to same gender couples?" "Yes, thousands. But we haven't had any siblings. That's incest!" "Incest?" No, we are not gay." "Not gay? Then why do you want to get married?" "For the financial benefits, of course. And we do love each other. Besides, we don't have any other prospects." "But we're! issuing marriage licenses to gay and lesbian couples who've been denied equal protection under the law. If you are not gay, you can get married to a woman." "Wait a minute. A gay man has the same right to marry a woman as I have. But just because I'm straight doesn't mean I want to marry a woman. I want to marry Jim." "And I want to marry Tim, Are you going to discriminate against us just because we are not gay?" "All right, all right. I'll give you your license. Next." "Hi. We are here to get married." "Names?" "John Smith, Jane James, Robert Green, and June Johnson." "Who wants to marry whom?" "We all want to marry each other." "But there are four of you!" "That's right. You see, we're all bisexual. I love Jane and Robert, Jane loves me and June, June loves Robert and Jane, and Robert loves June and me. All of us getting married together is the only way that we can express o! ur sexual preferences in a marital relationship." "But we've on ly been granting licenses to gay and lesbian couples." "So you're discriminating against bisexuals!" "No, it's just that, well, the traditional idea of marriage is that it's just for couples." "Since when are you standing on tradition?" "Well, I mean, you have to draw the line somewhere." "Who says? There's no logical reason to limit marriage to couples. The more the better. Besides, we demand our rights! The mayor says the constitution guarantees equal protection under the law. Give us a marriage license!" "All right, all right. Next." "Hello, I'd like a marriage license." "In what names?" "David Deets." "And the other man?" "That's all. I want to marry myself." "Marry yourself? What do you mean?" "Well, my psychiatrist says I have a dual personality, so I want to marry the two together. Maybe I can file a joint income-tax return." "That does it! I quit!! You people are making a mockery of marriage!!"
Thanks Sid

Fargo is hip!
Julie is staying up late again and has a lot of comments on the LA Times article I linked to earlier.
Shoot. And I had so liked Fargo. Now it's getting "hip" and "cosmopolitan".
Kind of a journalistic leap. My address never felt like punishment, particularly since it doesn't have "Fargo" anywhere in it. "Los Angeles" would be a punishment, mainly because you'd be getting this newspaper and reading about how hip Fargo is now that it has a few more Asians and some raw fish and lots of martinis to pick from.
Fargo: If we weren't on I29 and I94 we'd be as pathetic as Rugby. Fargo: hot enough for your grandpa in drag. Fargo: to hip for blue-collar. Fargo: Spring means 2nd avenue under ahulking huge dirt dike, but don't let that get in the way of all the weird over-priced food you can eat in the name of being diversified. Fargo: Moorhead's dirty little secret. Fargo: Nobody says "ya betcha" and we'll kill you if you do it one more time. Fargo: We're trendy as long as you don't hit 13th avenue and catch a glimpse of the strip malls and all the sprawl. Fargo: We're really more Minnesota than you'd imagine. Fargo: We move a lot of meth. Fargo: West Fargo's dirty little secret. Fargo: We like to annex everything.

This is very long. I'm not through reading it myself. Will have to print it and read it later offline.
