Homo Matrimony in Cali!
Is that Rachel Maddow's Mom on the right?
The California State Supreme Court ruled that "same sex marriage" is legal under California law. So natch all of the queers, fairies, sodomites, carpet munchers, and assorted panty waists are in a big dither over china patterns, invitation lists, and flower arrangements. Like they weren't already. I haven't seen much political reaction yet, except that Governor Arnold is supporting the court. And who's going to fuck with him? Figuratively, I mean.
Here we see two Rainbow Warriors celebrate by singing a duet of You Light Up My Life.
Log Cabin Republicans, indeed.
Hillary Still Pretends She Can Win
But the rest of the Dems have decided to be nice to her about it, for various reasons. Not the least of which is that she is one vindictive bitch, who will be around for a while. Also, she might make a great attack dog veep candidate for Obama in the general election. Would Obama picking Hillary for veep really be "unprincipled" as BMCC says? Or would it fall in line with his promise to "unify" us? If he doesn't pick her, it may be viewed as an unwillingness or inability to unify the Democratic Party. The Republicans will pounce on that pretty quickly as evidence that Barack is just another Jimmy Carter. I'll go for whatever it takes to win and end the war.
The Economy Sucks, Kind Of
It really could be a lot worse, though. I'm not that old and I can remember times when it was. So, it's too early to panic, and it's good to see Ben Bernanke and Hank Paulson making the moves we need to keep things from going down the drain. We are lucky to have these two on our side, considering the complete lack of any economic leadership from our President.

Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke
Secretary of the Treasury Hank Paulson
They really do look like opposite personality types, don't they?
TV Land Observations
Speaking of the economy, just about the only tv show that I can find some economic perspective on these days is Political Capital with Al Hunt on Bloomberg TV. The news talk shows are all about politics these days. And most of the business shows are more about market activity and the deals of the day. If you're interested in some insight into the Mortgage Crisis & Gas Tax Holiday from Political Capital - click here: www.bloomberg.com/avp/avp.htm?clipSRC=mms://media2.bloomberg.com/cache/v3423vj2HcNQ.asf
Bloomberg News' Al Hunt
On the lighter side of the boob tube, we've seen dramatic season climaxes for The Bachelor and America's Next Top Model. The Bachelor this season, Matt, was British, and handsome, which seemed to be the extent of his qualifications. He picked . . . Shayne Lamas, the daughter of Lorenzo Lamas, pictured here:
Can you imagine if your Dad looked like this?
Showing that this apple didn't fall far from the tree, bride to be Shayne celebrated by immediately posing for Girls Gone Wild Magazine. I didn't even know that Girls Gone Wild had a magazine! It's not in my supermarket. Tackiness aside, she does have her charms.

Blog Notes
In case you hadn't noticed, I write this blog on Google's Blogger. It's pretty cool that I can put up a blog for free, and I appreciate it. But the formatting on this thing is a real pain. Anyone have any suggestions, please feel free to comment.
Have a great weekend.
