Supreme Court strikes down DOMA

[garbon]

On the lame front, I see that one of the proponents of prop 8 says that the district court ruling only applies to Los Angeles and Alameda counties and vows to fight to have the decision limited to those 2 counties when the case goes back to the lower court. Give up already.

Not sure.  Either seeing a heathen religion being "observed" offended her, or possibly (this is purely a guess on my part) she had been made to take some religious symbol or something off her desk and got all pissy when she saw that others could have voodoo dolls on theirs.

She was a bit of a handful.  If it wasn't religion, it was some race grievance she cooked up.

Sounds like a typical HR person.

Well, you're our expert in all matters relating to HR.

You deserve each and every diversity in-service that can conceivably dropped on your massive forehead.

She was always cool with me, up until I turned down her invitation to go to church with her

Now see, that's just not building bridges across disciplines and embracing diversity.

If I'm not mistaken Moonbeam pere also contributed to the nuclear arms race in state salaries.  Totally fair to pin prop 13 on retard California voters, but $150,000 prison guards goes to the state government.

He is far more known for the expansion (and funding) of the California University system.  Again, big bucks but the tax base could support it.

The one manager at my first job didn't like it either when I demurred on driving and hour and a half to her church for a Saturday morning fair.

I've embraced plenty of diversity in my career.  I also embrace diversity at home

Please. I've yet to meet a non-white Argie chick (or an ugly one for that matter).

She still talks funny!

[11B4V]

The Court holds (5-4 of course) that: DOMA is unconstitutional as a deprivation of the equal liberty of persons that is protected by the Fifth Amendment. The Court ruled that it didn't have jurisdiction in the Prop 8 case.

A no brainer IMO

Gay pride marches and parades will be held this weekend across the United States as LGBT Pride Month draws to a close. Here are some local gay pride celebrations throughout the country:

San Francisco: Harvey Milk bobblehead day at AT&T Park

McComb, MS: The police department will go door to door giving homosexuals a special permanent marking on their forehead so everyone can know whom to be proud of

Addison, VT: William is going to proudly walk down Route 7 from the post office to the hardware store starting at 10 a.m. if anyone wants to come cheer him on

Reno, NV: Complimentary prime rib for anyone who comes out to friends and family at Harrah's

Boise, ID: Six or seven gay guys are going fishing up at the lake; should be a nice afternoon

Nantucket, MA: This year's parade to be populated mostly by married men who are only gay while on vacation

Bemidji, MN: Due to last year's poor turnout at the local parade, organizers will bus in some extra gays from Minneapolis

Lubbock, TX: Pride Parade on Main St. at noon to be immediately followed by memorial for those lost during Pride Parade

I'd put this down as one of the many times that the Onion scores a miss.

I shouldn't have tainted it for you, sorry.

It's just most of those lines aren't funny. It's like when mongers gathers the elements of a joke but then doesn't execute.
