I’m surprised by the number of people that didn’t understand that the rules for a filibusterer at the state and federal level are different.
Now that DOMA is ruled unconstitutional and Prop 8 was dismissed by the Supreme Court, I wonder how many conservatives are genuinely concerned that this will lead to people marrying animals and objects.
I saw a lot of evangelicals tweeting “Jesus wept” yesterday and I saw a lot of folks replying “tears of joy” and that Jesus himself never said anything about it.
You’d think there be some sort of punishment or some kind of ethical violation altering the date of a state senate bill. John Oliver did add this, “The Texas Senate majority was simply being consistent. They simply believe that if late one night you are swept by your emotions and make a stupid mistake, you should always have a chance to fix it later and not have to live with the consequences.” Even with the Supreme Court decision about Prop 8 and DOMA, I was surprised ‘The Daily Show’ focused so much on what happened in Texas.
The Patriots operate by a lot different set of rules than the Cowboys when it comes to a player getting in trouble with the law.
When the Supreme Court makes a decision, interns grab the paper and physically run it to the networks. Here’s a great look at it.
I’ve been really happy with Blue Cross Blue Shield, but now my employer is moving to United Healthcare. I had a very bad experience with them when I was an employee at Fidelity Investments and have never thought highly of them since, so I hope things are better the second time around.
My blogging friend Barry had a great quote the other day, “Ted Cruz will speak at the First Baptist Church of Dallas on Sunday morning. That place has turned into the Southern Baptist version of Fox News.”
What would happen if a werewolf landed on the moon?
The Miami Dolphins are updating their helmets. That logo was always a bit confusing, as the old one had a dolphin wearing a helmet with an “M” on it yet the football team never did such a thing.
My father died 15 years ago today. It’s strange to think how I haven’t had a conversation with the most important man in my life for a decade and a half now.
Maybe the extreme religious right can be convinced that the death penalty is just a really really really late term abortion. Like, 114th trimester late…
hehe, yeah maybe so. But to be fair to Perry's comment, there's a pretty obvious difference between giving the death penalty to somebody who murdered other people vs aborting a baby that hasn't committed any crime. I say this being somebody who's not necessarily in favor of the death penalty but is in favor of limiting access to abortions. I did think this tweet was funny…just a bit more sound bite than substance.
Apollo 13 heart rates: I don't get this one. I thought this was the Apollo 11 crew. And why were two of the astronauts heart rates flat lined? I guess I'm missing something
Cowboys v. Patriots: If Hernandez has a good lawyer, the Cowboys will have themselves a pro-bowler next year.
I watched Congresswoman Duckworth grill the contractor who faked a war disability. As embarrassing as the whole episode was, the contractor still didn't seem to get it. He seemed quite pleased with himself.
The Netherlands sounds like a country with too much gun control 😉
Condolences on your Dad's passing. I still miss my Dad. He and I had become very strained at the end because of his 2nd wife. As his mind weakened she turned him against everything but her and her kids. The rest of his family were out to get him. She moved her boyfriend into his house, which was my Grandmother's house weeks after he died. They sold the the place and moved shortly after that.

You're right, it was Apollo 11, not 13.
My condolences about your father. He died the same day I got married.
