WOO HOOOOOOOOO

KICK ASS…. (from the HRC)

Gay and Lesbian Couples in Long-term, Committed Relationships Get Equal Protections Under the Law in Massachusetts

WASHINGTON (Nov. 18) — The Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court ruled today that same- and opposite-sex couples must be given equal civil marriage rights under the state constitution. The ruling in Goodridge et al. v. Department of Public Health makes the state the first in the nation to grant same-sex couples the right to a civil marriage license. Ruling that civil marriage in Massachusetts means “the voluntary union of two persons as spouses, to the exclusion of all others,” the Court allowed the Legislature 180 days to change the civil marriage statutes accordingly. more

Keep making forward progres – one step at a time…

Too funny….

So I still had this sitting out on my desk this morning (see this post for details) when one of my Co-Workers came in to ask me a question.. During the course of the conversation she caught sight of it and it stopped her dead in her tracks.. She said “uh.. Pete… umm… what… whats this?”… CRACKED ME UP… She was clearly trying to be polite but was tottaly confused and disapproving as to the fact that I had what looked to be a signed picture of Dubbya on my desk. I laughed as I explained it to her and she let out a sigh of relief.

In general most of the folks I work with are pretty liberal and I have yet to find any of his supporters in meetings but there is bound to be one or two – but they’re pretty closeted for fear of being looked down upon ( kinda poetic if you ask me! 🙂 ). I do find people use pictures of Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld, and Ashcroft as iChat images but it’s by no means out of respect! 🙂

Friday Funnies

Few things that made this morning:

• These Crazy Rabbits… Too funny… (thanks to ultrasparky )
• The dude driving down the freeway today with plastic carpet protector taped where his drivers window should be in his thrashed civic. You know – that stuff that comes in long 2′ wide strips with the points on the bottom to protect your carpet. Don’t know why… just made me chuckle.
• The woman driving on two, count ’em, two donut sized spare tires on her car. Where do you get the second if you’ve used your first spare tire? Did she steal someone else’s spare rather than just getting her’s fixed. The whole car was leaning to the right.
• And my FAVORITE: We saw the mystery machine driving down the road. An honest to god 70’s van with the two long windows in the back, painted with a big orange daisy on the back and the green and blue colors with ‘The Mystery Machine’ painted on the side

Don’t know why some of that cracked me up – it just did. Guess I’m just giddy today… Better than being cranky I suppose! 🙂

British slang

I’m one of these odd balls that has to have the radio or tv or some type of noise going while I work… Don’t know why – just makes it easier to keep my butt planted and makign progress. Today’s selection is ‘Beautiful Thing‘ – great movie and the music is good to hum along to as I work. Anyway – caught a line with the term ‘slag’ in it and realized I didn’t know what it meant.. Could figure it out based on context but wanted to be sure… well thanks to google I found this – and now I know along with alot of other fun terms…
