That made me giggle.

And no more playing it around to keep it straight (no puns intented). UGH! Mon ami... indeed... shares my pain...

You're only 46 in dog years. You're 6 and half actually and that means you shouldn't be on this site reading gay stories. Happy Birthday! It's nice to see that you're two times older and wiser than me.

I had the pleasure of voting against him and supported Casey - who he's a native of my area. I was dancing in joy when I saw Santorum tearing up a little in his defeat speech with his breeder family. James... there is no need to do that. Just click: WARNING - Explicit Image.

Anddddd... The NH governor said he would sign it if a language is adopted by the legislature. http://www.boston.com/news/local/breaking_...ampshire_g.html We're very close. I can't see the Legislasture having any problem with that.

Do you realize that this made me think of dead bodies? Ew...

I read that the bill is not even on his desk yet. >.<

Jesus... the NH governor is certainly taking his sweet time to decide.

I see that Xeran is just as anal as me about hair. The wind is just plain annoying.

Yesterday, Pelosi has repeated that she doesn't see why the Congress should meddle in an affair. She reasoned that if the Congress cannot meddle into the affair of the states concerning the definitions and recognizations of marriages, why should the body do it any differently concerning the District? I think it's nice a logic. I always think of DC as a state, not some territory ruled by the Congress. The lack of support from Pelosi will make it hard to get the override to vote on the House floor. It shows that the Congress has changed since the DOMA went through it. With a consideration of hate-crime bill, repeal of Don't-Ask-Don't-Tell, and a possible repeal of DOMA, her statement gives out hints what could lay ahead. Naturally it could be harder to get the bill giving DC a seat in the House to pass because the anti-gay marriage could try to sneak in a language repealling the DC recognization as a condition for their support. Bloody politics.

You forgot the captions for the second photo.

Hit it with a hammer. It seems to work magically for me every time.

The same could be said for all New England actually. I was in Vermont (in Montpelier where my friend lives) for a few days and my friend took me a club in Burlington where people celebrated the marriage victory. Got myself a pin as a souvenir. I love New England. I should actually visit NH instead of looking at it across the Connecticut River in Vermont. I wanted my friend to take me there so I can get a pack of cigarettes for $4 instead of $7.50 in Vermont. >.< Same thing for Maine... Only saw it from across the river border from Edmundston, New Brunswick.

I want my body to be used to grow the next summer garden for my family.

Bonne f

I already finished my finals on the first week of April. I've been on spring/summer vacation for a month now. NEH!

Rigel summed it all. All I have to say... WOOT! Go Maine! Frankly, I'm surprised how *fast* it went there to pass such bill. The voters seem to be quite split and I personally don't know if it will pass or not. I think it's quite a toss-up.

Not afraid. It's the end of all. Once I'm out. That's it. No heaven. No hell. No afterlife. I'm too atheist for that sort of belief.

Graeme, why Obama is involved is written in the article.

It passed Maine House. All it needs to do is get it approved by the Senate tomorrow once more before heading the governor's desk. He will have ten days to decide what to do with it. Veto. Sign. Or let it pass without a veto or signature. New Hampshire House will vote tomorrow as well and sending it to the governor. On a sidenote, DC council approved the bill to recognize gay marriages performed anywhere outside the District. So far, the Congress and President are quite mum on this. Pelosi thinks the Congress should not meddle in decisions made by the District. This means it's unlikely the Congress will do anything with Pelosi refusing to put it up to vote. The House, Senate, and President all need to approve to override the DC bill. Otherwise it automatically becomes a law in 30 days.

And now let's add Maine Senate. http://www.fosters.com/apps/pbcs.dll/artic...S0104/904309912 It passed 21-14. It'll be sent to the House where it will take up the bill Tuesday after a little weekend break.

Oh jaaaa jag

http://washingtontimes.com/news/2009/apr/2...marriage-front/ New Hampshire Senate is due to vote Wednesday (today). I have doubts it will pass. Even if does, I think the governor will veto it due to his past statements, although he hasn't decided on this bill yet. Maine is a little brighter. I'd give it a better chance than New Hampshire. I'd be surprised if it's put into a popular vote instead of killing it. *fingers crossed*

Washing hands is simply a matter of common sense that should be applied at anytime. Let's the health officials freak out. That's their job. They want to be "be safe than sorry" and that is how outbreaks are usually contained such as the cases of SARS, 1997 Hong Kong flu, H5H1 bird flu, etc. And we just relax. Thousands haven't gotten sick yet in a week, unlike the start of 1918 outbreak. It is highly unlikely that 1918 will repeat itself as it was a freak and rare virus. While it is not confirmed, it is still somewhat possible that this virus can mutate to a form that woud cause such strong immune system to overload and kill you by drowning your lungs with fluid. A strong immune system is not always good in some cases. This is what happened in 1918... it was unusual because it killed off so many young people with good immune system and health. So a strong immune system could just go against you instead of the virus. So far it hasn't been confirmed yet. It may be H1H1 virus (same type as the 1918 Flu), but it's a sub-type and not a direct descendant. Besides, we have come a long way in knowledge of medicine and diseases. Back in 1918, doctors thought it was just a "flu bacteria" due to the recent theory about germs. Now we all know it wasn't. We have developed treatments to control and calm down the immune system to prevent an overload on the lungs, filling it up with fluid. Pneumonia is caused by excessive fluid and invasion of bacteria that are normally harmless in the nose and mouth (the cilias are destroyed or overwelmed by the virus, making this possible). Flu doesn't really kill. It's the secondary inflections that do after the virus did its destruction on the air system. At least we could take some comfort that we're lucky enough to be born in an era of the most advanced medicine so far in history.
