U-caption it (3)

Published April 10th, 2008 in Mostly a picture, Nonsense fun, Visual aids.

A massive multi-phased spam attack in the wee hours last night and this morning added to the natural challenges of juggling what your average work-at-home/care for kids-at-home person ordinarily faces. All of which conspired against my being able to dedicate the loving care any proper post deserves. And a cathartic one’s a brewing, I can say that much (here’s a hint as to the topic).

Meanwhile, some good clean nonsense fun. How would you caption this pair of images?

    I’m thinking that the image of a pickled Nick Nolte, side-by-side with my son, might have gone beyond the bounds of common decency. Or maybe there’s something stupefying about Nolte’s gaze? Or maybe people are transfixed by the likeness, thinking: “By god, Nolte’s the babydaddy!”

    Or maybe the gremlins ate up all the comments that came in from North America.

    Both of them.

    This here comment is just to say, I’m sorry. Last spooky celebrity mug shot on the blog.

    It was actually even more startling this morning in the cold light of day than when I saw it last night. So startling that it just stops my thought processes dead their tracks. Cannot think of a single thing to say.

    I wonder what new site visitors this post will bring you via Google searches.

    OK this is absolutely hysterical. Partially because I would never expect it from you. My captions 1. “damn my diaper stinks”. 2. “depends…”

    LD's No on California Prop 8 fundraising

    The time to step up is now.



    See that cute kid there on the right? My son. The day, this July, that my partner and I got hitched. It was our fourteenth anniversary. Help.

    Featured election news/analysis:

    From "Gay marriages in California surpass those in Massachusetts,", Jessica Garrison, on 7 Oct., 2008, at the Los Angeles Times.



    Data released Monday (6 Oct 08) by UCLA's Williams Institute found that an estimated 11, 000 same-sex couples were married in CA since June 17, when the court began to allow them. (Since May 2004, over 10,000 have married in Massachusetts.)



    Pastor Jim Garlow of Skyline Church in La Mesa, who has been rallying voters to pass the constitutional amendment, said: "The fact that there are big numbers doesn't change the reality that it is still bad for the country."



    Garlow, who along with hundreds of other Christians, is observing a fast until election day as a way to show his support for the proposed amendment, added: "There are enormous numbers of people doing cocaine right now. . . . Simply because large numbers of people are doing something does not make it right."
    "Foes of gay-marriage ban say poll shows Prop. 8 leading," by Jessica Garrison, 8 Oct., 2008, in the Los Angeles Times:
    The opposition has enjoyed a healthy lead in several surveys taken by polling organizations that do not have a stake in the campaign. But officials with the No on 8 campaign held a conference call with reporters Tuesday to announce that their own poll showed the measure would pass by four points. Opponents attributed the result to fewer television ads, which is, in turn, a result of the No on 8 campaign falling behind in fundraising.
    From Geoff Kors, Equality California, in an email to EQCA and No on 8 supporters, 7 Oct., 2008:
    Our worst nightmares are coming true.



    Today we learned of the massive $25.4 million our opponents have raised so far. They are using this war chest to broadcast lies: 24/7 and up and down the state of California.



    And the polls show the lies are working. We need your donation now.



    Yesterday’s CBS 51 poll shows that:



    “…likely California voters overall now favor passage of Proposition 8 by a five-point margin, 47 percent to 42 percent. Ironically, a CBS 5 poll eleven days prior found a five-point margin in favor of the measure's opponents.”



    People change their minds about Proposition 8 when they hear the lie that churches will lose their tax-free status if they won’t marry same-sex couples – EVEN THOUGH THIS IS NOT TRUE!



    So this is crunch time. With less than a month before the election, we must get on the air now to answer these lies and swing votes back to our side.



    And the ONLY way to do that it to raise more money. The generous $15.8 million that our supporters have given isn’t enough. Not when the other side has nearly $10 million more than we do and the fundraising gap is growing.

    • Lesbian Dad commented on Good news from Connecticut* saying Thank you sister Reno, writing to us from the great former swing state of Nevada! One of the odd things about this (for those who aren't eyeball-deep in it all, like us) is that a "NO" vote is actually the positive, love-affirming thing to do. "No" sounds so negative, doesn't it. Of course, also,

She's been meaning to look it up because she's in California
