Good News

Massachusetts high court rules that gays are entitled to marry. Yay! ::throws confetti::

Depending on what other states do, this probably doubles my chances of living in Boston some day. I can put up with a subway that doesn't run all night for a government that lets me marry who I damned well choose. Of course, this is the day after Ohio voted to ban same sex unions, but even that can't kill my Whoot! And how are YOU today, Reverand Phelps?

So, Kerry, huh? Yeah, that'll do nicely. I was hovering between him and Dean in the first place, and plumped for Dean on the theory that he had contagious energy more than any major policy issue. I will probably still vote for him in the primary if he stays in the race. But I'll happily back Kerry in the general if he takes the nomination, and not just for anybody-but-Bush reasons.

And not that it's much consolation for Dean, but even if he never pulls further ahead than he is today, he performed yeoman service in drawing the nebulous "character" fire, so that Kerry or whoever the eventual frontrunner turns out to be doesn't come into November with that many more months of snide implications ringing in everyone's ears.

I think I remember an NYTimes article on that a couple of years ago. Walter Cronkite was one of the NIMBYs and said that he was sort of embarrassed to be on the side he was.

More power to him, Cronkite has changed his mind. Admitted it was only ever nimbyism, and backed out.
