You can still help the fight for marriage equality in Maine. If you are a Maine resident, you need to vote. In fact, if there is a local election in your area today, please be sure to vote. These elections tend to have very low turn-out and its how extremists get weird referendums passed and anti-science people onto school boards. It's always good to vote.
What makes an American? Or, let's watch people be anti-immigrant racists about the guy who just won the New York City Marathon.
The only good thing about David Tennant being in the new show is that maybe they'll film some of it in Chicago. Hey, I keep seeing Brian Dennehey around whenever he's in town, and he does nothing for me.
Cubs - interesting point. I'm of two minds about this. In an ideal world, you shouldn't have to say anything about someone's race, religion, sexual orientation etc. But given that there is so much prejudice surrounding these issues, sometimes it can serve a purpose as a role model etc(e.g. a black President, openly gay senators, etc).
But in this case OK, so she's gay. What's the point? She's a business owner. Does that make any difference to us Cub's fans who want a winning team? Not me anyway...I don't care if a Weevil owns the Cubs as long as we get a decent team. But I'd hate to think if the Cubs continue to lose that people will be blaming it 'on that GAY owner.'
