Update: Gov. Jerry Brown just made it official:
Update: The SCOTUS decisions have effectively removed the obstacle of gay marriage in the immigration bill. No wonder John Boehner was so upset. As one of our friends said this morning ” there really are no words” for this historic event.
After the Affirmative action “horribliness” yesterday, SCOTUS did something right today!
This is Gay Pride Week in San Francisco and the city is really going to have something to celebrate.
[..The Supreme Court decision appears to pave the way for same-sex marriages to resume in California by leaving intact the initial district court ruling against Prop. 8.

(Frankly, Facebook has bothered me for a while for other reasons than that discussed in the reblog above. However, this is an important issue. Facebook needs to better understand, clarify and act on what constitutes harassment, violence, bullying and pornography as items of banal abuse of women.)

The 2013 Earth Day Arrives
Posted in Climate, Disaster, Economy, Environment, Humanism, Justice, Nature, Politics, tagged Ammonium NItrate, Climate Change, Earth Day, explosion, West Texas on April 21, 2013| Leave a Comment »
We ponder the idiocy of a under-regulated pile of ammonium nitrate, and its death and destruction, in the lax and uncaring Texas sun. Even as the perennial day of green effort arrives, we point fingers at others, and refuse to be part of the solution.
