Testimony given for and against Maine’s marriage equality bill on April 22, 2009. Nearly 4,000 people attended the hearing, with marriage equality supporters out-numbering the opposition 4 to 1.

Heartwarming.

“Why We Need Government-Run Universal Socialized Health Insurance”

Simple and to the point. Come on y’all, why is this is this so f*cking hard?

Via Buchino, who is expressing some well deserved frustration with the Dems.

Politics of marriage

iteeth:

A beautiful note on the program for yesterday’s wedding between my friends Penelope Freeh and Jack Dant:

As we symbolize and affirm our commitment to each other through this marriage ceremony we wish to recognize our family and friends among us who, due to their love for another of the same gender, are not afforded this right. We feel that love is love and no law should dictate the terms. We stand for their right to join together as we are doing today.

While this is a nice note, and better then no note at all, I think the only way to really stand for marriage equality (if your state doesn’t recognize it) is to not get married.

It’s kind of like patronizing “Whites Only” establishments in the 1950’s but justifying it because your t-shirt has a “No really, I’m not a racist.” disclaimer on it.

The Minnesota Independent has a great piece about the state of gay and lesbian issues in Minnesota right now. Read it here.

Jesse Ventura running mental circles around fundie Stepford Wife Elisabeth Hasselbeck on ‘The View’ on the subject of torture.

Jesse: move to NY so I can vote for you for governor.

As a Minnesota transplant who missed his first go-around here, I’d love to get a second chance to see him in the political arena.

Debt is part of the human condition. Civilization is based on exchanges — on gifts, trades, loans — and the revenges and insults that come when they are not paid back.
