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.

Lesbian Dad 101
Lesbian Dad is written by a parent who answers to the name "Baba" and works toward a world in which amor does indeed vincit omnia. Still curious? You'll find a ton more on the About page. Baffled by the lingo? Peruse the Glossary. For the proper immersion experience, I highly recommend a visit to the Best of LD.

- 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
- caitlin commented on Breaking: Court will hear challenges to Prop 8* saying Hi, my name is Caitlin, and I'm a lawyer. (Hi, Caitlin.) A hearing means the lawyers for both sides will go argue before the judge. By March they'll have fully briefed the issue, meaning that the pro gay marriage folks will have submitted an opening brief, to which the anti folks will reply, to
- Lesbian Dad commented on Breaking: Court will hear challenges to Prop 8* saying Trying to think of a sentence Elmer Fudd might utter, in which he uses the word "squeed," but was really referring to "a long speech or piece of writing, typically one regarded as tedious." Which the final ruling might indeed be. I just hope I am inspired to squeal and pee at the
- LookyDaddy commented on Breaking: Court will hear challenges to Prop 8* saying I'm trying to coin a new word: squeed. It is the past tense of when you squeal and pee a little at the same time. I had originally thought it applied only to the toddler set, or possibly the elderly, but for a brief moment as I read this, I thought it had the chance
- Lesbian Dad commented on Breaking: Court will hear challenges to Prop 8* saying Okay, Nancy Polikoff says that once the court hears arguments, it must issue a ruling within 90 days. Arguments are the hearing? In March? Or is the LA Times Court beat gal off? Is there a lawyer in the house?
- Lesbian Dad commented on Breaking: Court will hear challenges to Prop 8* saying Maura Dolan, LA Times' gal on the Supreme beat, filed this at 2:16pm: "Prop. 8 gay marriage ban goes to Supreme Court." MARCH?! Hearing in MARCH?! That is SOOOOOOOOOOO after Obama's inauguration. A commenter over at Pam's House Blend reminded us that it took them six months, before, to make a decision. So.
