How funny it is that the thing I enabled in MT that only keeps old articles around for ten days would work against me.
There has been lot of news during my lax coverage period, and I am loathe to explain why I’ve fallen off lately. I hate reading these posts and I like writing them even less. So lets skip it all and just say that I’ve been busy, but that my aims and the ultimate goal of saving the United States from itself are at the heart of it all.
To those of you on the Good Angry Young Democrat Email Response Team (GAYDERT), I am disappointed that it stopped when I did, but only until I remember that I started it. Look for that to begin again.
Okay. With that in mind, let’s examine something that happened just this morning – The Supreme Court has declined to hear the case against Massachusetts Gay Marriage. Conservatives have tried to equate the legalization of something as being tantamount to Judicial tyranny, which seems sort of odd.
When I make the argument that when you legalize something it can’t really instate tyranny, I am told it is a weak argument, because, hey, what if we legalize shooting telephone sanitizers or tax accountants or something similar? I cleverly sidestep this idea while rethinking my argument, saying that if we can shoot them, in a way telephone sanitizers and tax accountants have become illegal, right?
I realize it all sounds silly, I’m just saying that when the right makes an analogy (lolz) between two guys getting married and someone forcing me to do something at gunpoint, I think their argument breaks down because Mark and Rick aren’t forcing me to call them “husband and husband” at gunpoint. What’s more than that, it shouldn’t even be an issue, like I said before. If you people would listen we’d be over this by now, and on to gentrification by redistricting or something similar.
I have just received a message concerning the 2006 midterms in Texas. It appears as if Ron Kirk, former Dallas Mayor, is the current favorite for the Dems to go after Kay Bailey Hutchison’s seat if she decides to screw her party and run against Ron Perry for Governor. This wouldn’t be very cool, because Kirk already lost in 2002 to John Cornyn. Barbara Radnofsky, Houston lawyer, is also looking into it with the ever-present exploration.
Sigh.
Since i have no idea what the competition will be like (other than well funded, well organized, and well connected) I can only say that, uh, I suppose Radnofsky is electable. Kirk, I don’t know. I don’t remember much about that race.
Texas readers, hook me up. Boston readers, rent my place.
