I guess I’ve been under a rock all morning (a rock called work), because I just now heard that the same-sex marriage ban didn’t get the 2/3 majority needed in the Senate (Sam Brownback’s craziness not withstanding). w00t! This is heartening news, especially during a week that was turning into one of those “getting disheartened by all the bullshit” weeks.
Speaking of Sam Brownback, I think he and Rick Santorum may have a new competitor for level of craziness. What about this fucking guy:
“We’re going to continue to press this issue,” Colorado Republican Sen. Wayne Allard said. “If it’s up to me, we’ll have a vote on this issue every year.”
Fantastic idea, Senator Allard. Colorado could use another Democrat!

I hope Brownback gets the GOP nomination. When faced with the actual prospect of a theocracy, voters will reject it if the elections are anywhere close to legitimate.
YAY!
Okay. Now I’m not a big Brownback fan, but he does deserve some due for the positive work that he does for refugees and other displaced people that come into the United States.
(I think I feel slightly dizzy from paying a Republican a compliment.)
Brownback’s refugee work is news to me. mostly I know him as the guy that 4 out of 5 extremely scary people think would make a fine leader.
and Rusty: careful what you wish for. that’s a big “if.” among other ifs.
