Joke of the day

After giving President Bush his daily briefing, Donald Rumsfeld concluded by saying, "And sadly, 3 Brazilian soldiers were killed yesterday in Iraq."

"OH NO!" the president exclaimed. "But that's terrible!"

His staff, stunned at this display of emotion, nervously watched as the president sat, head in his hands.

Finally, the president looked up and asked, "How many is a brazillion?"

In other news, it's 72 degrees this morning!!!!! Where's my sweater? :-P

Calling all Texans!

It's time to start fighting, folks. We have a little more than a month to convince our friends and neighbors to vote NO on Prop 2, a hateful amendment to our state constitution that would not only deny loving couples the right to marry simply because they are gay, but would also ELIMINATE many legal and medical rights and benefits other non-married couples currently hold.

If you live in Texas, you can start by putting a sign in your yard, a sticker on your car, and a t-shirt on your body.

( Under the cut is a list of places where you can get them. )

And then go talk to your neighbors!

I attended a rally at the state capitol tonight, and there were several hundred people in attendance. One of the speakers told us that what happens here will affect the whole country. I mean, just imagine what it would be like if Texas voted this thing down!! We could turn the tide of hatred and discrimination right here and now -- we just need to talk to people, and encourage them to vote.
