    • They Knew Despite the whitewash, we now know that the Bush administration was warned before the war that its Iraq claims were weak. ➡
    • Missouri 0 — Seattle 1 Handily showing up Missouri's ban on gay marriage, King County Superior Court Judge William Downing ruled this morning that banning gay marriage would violate the state constitution, clearing the way for gay marriage in Washington once the ruling is reviewed by the state Supreme Court. ➡
    • Photo Op? Or attempted murder? Pratridiot Watch takes Bush to task for using the recent security alerts as a photo op for Laura and the twins. Actually, I think that's entirely the wrong way to look at it. It wasn't a photo op — Bush was actually just hoping the terrorists would attack, killing his wife and children in the process, so he could play upon the sympathies of the nation's people to re-elect him next November. ➡
    • Music and Politics Just for amusement sake, after reading an article about the upcoming Vote for Change concert tour, here's a short and probably very incomplete list of musical artists who have supported one presidential candidate or the other. Most of this list is culled from the article, I may update it as days go by as I run across more names. Submissions will be welcome, of course. ➡

    • Kittens! Every time you masturbate... which kitten does god kill? ➡
    • Come one, come all As a beta tester, I can give codes to twenty friends that will allow them to sign up for TypePad at a discounted rate -- 20% off the base price for life. ➡
    • This probably shouldn't be funny… The technology is not yet foolproof. The online edition of The New York Post, which is owned by the News Corporation, ran an article last month about a murder in which the victim's body parts were packed in a suitcase, and Google served up an ad for a luggage dealer. ➡
    • Can you say 'smear campaign'? I knew you could! Rev. Robinson may have had the honor of being elected the first gay bishop of the Episcopal Church today. He may not have — having made it through the first two elections is a good indicator, but not a gaurantee, that he would have made it through the third. At this point, though, we may never know. ➡
    • Geek t-shirts There's no place like 127.0.0.1 ➡
    • We are all suspects This is all very real, very scary stuff, going on as we speak in our 'freedom loving' country. Don't assume that 'it can't happen to me' — it can, and if this continues unchecked, sooner or later, it will. ➡
    • Boston Globe Online / City & Region / Teen arrested at Logan for alleged bomb threat in his bag [Expletive] you. Stay the [expletive] out of my bag you [expletive] sucker. Have you found a [expletive] bomb yet? No, just clothes. Am I right? Yea, so [expletive] you. ➡
    • Two down, one to go God is not on a learning curve. We, on the other hand, are on the learning curve. God has taught us a lot of things about the full inclusion of people of color, of women, and now of gay and lesbian folk. ➡
    • Jane says… Jane's Addiction just lost a sale. ➡
    • Wait. Time passes. Mark explains perfectly why I refuse to install XP on my home PC, and am very glad that we've got an IT guy to install it on my PC at work. ➡
