PRESIDENT ELECT BARACK OBAMA. OMFG.
Obama's victory speech, w/transcript
Doves and hummingbirds and birds of paradise fly out of this man's mouth; he uses the word "humility" in a victory speech. That's our new president. Oh, and this.

- caitlin commented on Breaking: Court will hear challenges to Prop 8* saying That is an *awesome* picture. Lucky you!! She came to speak at Berkeley when I was a law student and I remember being so impressed by her drive and earnestness. Her purpose is clear; she is so powerfully committed to doing her work in this world. Glad she's on our team!
- Lesbian Dad commented on Breaking: Court will hear challenges to Prop 8* saying Yeah. Prop 13 was my youthful introduction to California state mock-populist politics. "Mock," insofar as that proposition SCREWED the people BIG TIME. The PBS documentary "First to Worst" tells the sad tale of woe about the consequences to public education in the state. If that wasn't far-reaching I don't know what could be. And
- caitlin commented on Breaking: Court will hear challenges to Prop 8* saying True, all of that. Of course, it makes much political sense to keep this out of the hands of the feds (and any legal team that includes Kate Kendall has my full trust [and my full crush]). But on a visceral level it's just SO FRUSTRATING that we have to tiptoe around because
- Lesbian Dad commented on Breaking: Court will hear challenges to Prop 8* saying Brava, Ruffian, brava! This is better than a Perry Mason marathon! As to the last matter -- whatthe heck could be the backers' response/counter-argument -- good question. Your take makes perfect sense to me (i.e., a provision counter to the equal protection clause, something so fundamental, would be of necessity significant, & therefore revisionary).
- Ruffian706 commented on Breaking: Court will hear challenges to Prop 8* saying I'm writing from a first year law student point of view, so I qualify as a legal powerhouse much less than Caitlin, but responding to her point about the Federal Court system, I haven't heard too much to indicate this would be a great course of action. The environment seems much friendlier in state courts.
- Lesbian Dad commented on Breaking: Court will hear challenges to Prop 8* saying Hi, Caitlin! [Date night (woot!) slowed your comment's seeing the light of day.] I am definitely not a lawyer, nor do I play one on TV, nor on the internets. All's I know is that what I've heard has been that the current make-up of the federal Supreme Court is such that any arguments taken directly

Happy Birthday Lil Peanut!!!!!
oh my lord happy birthday to the cutest kid on the earth.
we’ve barely met, but of course he has put his eye moves on me already, and i’m smitten.
Thank you, pourlebebe! And dg, I gotta say I’m with you: smoutten, smooten, smutten.
While we’re at it, I don’t know what all the fuss is about, lesbians raising sons. Geez. (A) For one, the “man-hating” thing is a grave mispronunciation: it’s pronounced misogyny hating, people. Regardless of whoever the shoe fits. And (B) More like, the fuss should be: watch out, peanut! He’s got the full force of someone lovin’ on him like he’s the first boy I ever loved! ‘Cause he is! Minus the Oedipal stuff! Plus the ability to help him master a two-seam fastball! And give him tips on pickin’ up girls (if that’s who you want to pick up). It’s an incredible deal!
He’s just gorgeous — those eyes!
Happy birthday lil’ Peanut and congrats to the rest of the family, or whatever you say on such occasions.
Belated but heartfelt none the less: Happy Birthday, Lil’ Peanut!
