today in politics

[rm]

Seriously?

Prop 8 decision and Obama announces Supreme Court nominee (word is it's Sonia Sotomayer) on the same day?

And then there's this: http://www.nytimes.com/2009/05/26/opinion/26douthat.html (the argument of which seems to be "we need more sexual stigma!" while continuing to advance the idea that women leading over men in anything is Really Scary).

Is someone trying to make the Internet explode?

In less depressing news, I love the icon.
