Wow!  First time I've ever heard Dave cut into 10@10 with a news break!  Yay for the gays!
Yay indeed.  I thought it was gonna be something bad.  And BOS2 for Synchronicity I.

Now turned into a twin-spin.

Genesis "Home By The Sea" and "Second Home By The Sea" should be a twin spin also.  BOS to my last favorite song(s) by them.  I especially like the second.

I KNEW IT!!!!
No way the CA constitution can allow restriction of marriage, period. 
I've long suspected that within my generation's lifetime, America will dissolve into an aggregation of 50 (or so) unified but autonomous nation-states ... and wonder if gay marriage will be one of the issues that propels us in that direction.
We now await Obama, Hillary, McCain's take on the CA court reversal.

Domo argiato gozaimusu, Dave ... but shouldn't "Mr. Roboto" have been Super Hit 6-6-6-6-6-6?

They are all on record against gay marriage; I believe Hil & Barack are for domestic partner benefits. Not sure where McCain is -- he impressed me by speaking at Mark Bingham's funeral, but then he went and slobbered all over Falwell's ass.

TANC - for some strange reason I woke up this morning with a Styx song planted in my brain.  It was "Light Up" not "Mr. Roboto (thank God!) but still....

There's a comment to the SFGate article that says the writer is apprehensive just because of the firestorm this issue created in the last election year, and what it might do this time around.  He has a point--California's one thing, but the fundies in the midwest and elsewhere are not going to take kindly to this.

WOS Mr. Roboto.
Let's get right to it.

WOS Mr. Roboto.

2 of its 7 (now 8 ) appearances have been in HFH sets. 

and now for a completely different WOS -- Gaz's, for Mr Edmunds.

At least I don't despise this one.   :P

I cringe every time I read the comments following an SFGate story.  The racism and xenophobia are all too palpable.  Any time someone with a non-European name is arrested for something, someone is sure to pipe up, "I wonder what his immigration status is."

No one is more anti-gay marriage than the black church generally (although not Rev. Wright).  It will be very tricky for Obama to support this at all (at least overtly) without alienating a large chunk of the black vote.  Unless of course he takes the high road and challenges black leaders from the church to change their stance.
