The soul has greater need of the ideal than the real for it is by the real that we exist, it is by the ideal that we live

200 posts AND Hot guys! Plus Marriage! What a Friday!



This is my 200th post. Yeah!

It's really no surprise to me, I'm pretty long-winded, so I expect to be talking well into four figures. Number of posts mind you, not dollars.

So on to the wingnuts-

“The court has interjected itself into national politics and made same-sex marriage a major issue in the upcoming national election,” said Brian S. Brown, the executive director of the National Organization for Marriage in California, which opposes same-sex marriage.-NYT

First of all the courts don't go around looking to get into other people's business, they're invited. Someone asks them to weigh the facts and render a decision. They don't make the law, they don't change the law, they read what our representatives (such as they are) enact and they render decisions based on the application of the facts of the case to the current law! Why is this so difficult for wingnuts to understand? Or is it that since they didn't get their way they have to find someone to blame? If that's the case,they must be related to my adoptive father.

Wisely, the Presidential candidates want to stay the hell out of it all. They want our votes, well, Obama and Clinton do. McCain is so crazy he doesn't know whose vote he wants. He just wants to be George Bush. So there will be some debate and a lot of smoke and mirrors and in the end there will be a law that makes sense and finally does not make a certain segment of society second-class citizens. Though I say we never were, we only gave that power away to those who sought to use their religious moralizing to oppress us. I went to Catholic Grade School, High School, and College, I know whereof I speak. As long as the Catholics and their ilk are allowed to run amok and rule with intimidation, as they have for centuries, things will never actually change. So, as I've always said, "Fuck Them!"

But as I said yesterday WOOT!

Should I ever meet Prince Charming I can run off to California and get married!

I'm going with a bunch of friends to a free Three Dog Night/Dr. John concert tonight, and then out to dinner. The weather is supposed to be wonderful so it's horses, and bikes all weekend. I suppose I should do a little packing, but hey moving day isn't for six weeks, what's the rush?

The good news is that the new housekeeper is coming today!(not a moment too soon) so I'm taking a long lunch and getting the car washed and picking up the laundry so I can use it as an excuse to stop by the apt and check on her progress. I love her already and she hasn't done a thing, it's just the very idea that she will, I guess.

After that I'm suiting up for a nice quick bike ride on my work loop. Thankfully, everyone is out today doing...stuff...and I can play as long as I quit talking to you and...OMG! I completely forgot!

It's Hot Guy Friday!

Justin Long is a living example of that straight nerd I always fall for. ALWAYS!

I now have to go edit the title of this post! Well as long as I remembered I guess that's what matters.

Have a wonderful weekend!

Love
