WA Marriage Decision Due
I'm on a business trip today, so posting will be slow and I'll probably be otherwise occupied when the Washignton State Supreme Court rules on marriage.

An Honor To Be Nominated

- Bah, Humbug. Here’s My iPhone 3G
November 29, 2011 | 12:18 pmOK. I plead guilty to this When I got my iPhone 4, I gave Parker my old iPhone 3G (with parental controls in place, phone service deactivated, everything restored to factory settings, history wiped clean, and internet access and the App Store on lockdown) to play games on, etc. But does that make me a “Scrooge”? Puh-leeze. An eight-year-old needs the latest iPhone?
- Feeling Bookish
September 9, 2011 | 12:04 pmIt’s happening again. I’m getting that “I’ve got a book in me, if I can make time to write it,” feeling. Of course, that “if” is the big, and the deciding, factor.
- There Is Too Such a Thing as Bisexuality
August 24, 2011 | 12:38 pmI was never one of those who claim “there’s no such thing as bisexuality.” I’ve known too many bisexuals to buy that the “don’t exist.” So, I’m not surprised that a study now indicates there is too such a thing as bisexuality. In men, that is.

August 16, 2011 | 11:59 amApparently, it’s hard to build a successful television show around someone who’s (a) unlikeable and (b) had no discernible talent beyond reproducing.
- The POTUS To Tweet?
June 20, 2011 | 10:51 amIt’s not that I don’t trust the guy, and maybe the whole Weinergate thing has me a little gun shy, but am I the only who thinks Obama tweeting for himself may not be the best idea?

The decision published this morning upholds the WA State legislature’s passing of the Defense of Marriage Act in 1998. Marriage between persons of the same sex remains a dream in WA State. I am crushed once again.
Yeah, I would have hoped our State would have been better than that. But “hate the gays” seems to be all the fashion; I’m just thankful that Tim Eyman couldn’t get enough signatures for his anti-gay campaign. [This year, the WA State legislature finally passed an equal-protection law; Eyman's petition would have put this up for a vote - as if people's civil rights should ever be subject to a popular vote.] He even made the rounds whipping up the right-wing pastors and megachurches, and fell tens of thousands of signatures short. Maybe people are getting tired of the social wedge issues? One can only hope so.
But…it was a 5-4 decision; if we fight the candidates for the state supreme court that the BIAW puts forth (the construction/developers/builders lobby, roots in the Birch Society – very radical right-wingers), and get rid of some of the crappy deadwood, like Alexander, Sanders, and Johnson, we would be doing good.
