STAR WARS MEETS SCHOOL HOUSE ROCK: INTERJECTIONS!
Hey! This is kinda brilliant.
Wow! This brings back so many memories.
Hurray! You'll laugh and smile.
Ha Ha! Did you remember the original?
Darn, now you're going to be singing this all day.

PASSENGER PICKUP: MAYBE IT'S JUST ME...
I've read Maybe It's Just Me... by Wonderman for years. We have similar interests but he loves comic books and superhero movies and brings a fresh perspective to today's politics, news and entertainment stories. The fact that I never really read comic books should tell you about his ability to hold his readers' interest. He has great taste in music and is in the middle stages of publishing his first graphic novel.
In his own words:
I'm very laid back and easy going. I like to meet people, read, talk about politics, culture and life. I am a huge comic book fan (X-Men family and Wonder Woman) I also want to say that I am a proud black gay man...no 'down low' drama here.He posts every day, multiple times a day. Maybe it's just me, but I think you should stop by and when you do, tell Wonderman that Sean dropped you off!

BREAKING NEWS:DOJ TO URGE US SUPREME COURT TO ALLOW SAME-SEX MARRIAGE
Much of the logic of the government’s brief — its first entry into the controversy over California’s Proposition 8 — could be read to support a right to marriage equality in every state, but it did not endorse that idea explicitly. [Snip] In essence, the position of the federal government would simultaneously give some support to marriage equality while showing some respect for the rights of states to regulate that institution.Read the full brief.
What the brief endorsed is what has been called the “eight-state solution” — that is, if a state already recognizes for same-sex couples all the privileges and benefits that married couples have (as in the eight states that do so through “civil unions”) those states must go the final step and allow those couples to get married. The argument is that it violates the Constitution’s guarantee of legal equality when both same-sex and opposite-sex couples are entitled to the same marital benefits, but only the opposite-sex couples can get married.
The eight states that apparently would be covered by such a decision are: California (whose Proposition 8, which denies marriage to couples who already have all of the other marital benefits, would fall), Delaware, Hawaii, Illinois, Nevada, New Jersey, Oregon, and Rhode Island.

Not for a long time. I did once, but how can there be with all the pain and suffering in the world? And if one does exist, then I'd rather not associate with it.

OUT SPOKEN: EMAIL REP. RITA MAYFIELD
Action Alert: IL Rep. Rita Mayfield
Representative Rita Mayfield, a Democrat from Waukegan, has announced that she will be tallying emails received for and against same-sex marriage, and she will take that information seriously into account as she weighs her vote. Please take a moment right now to send Rep. Mayfield a short messaging asking her to OPPOSE SAME-SEX MARRIAGE. Her email address is mayfieldr@ilga.gov.What are you waiting for? We'll need every vote. (Tipped by JMG reader John)
Dear Rep. Mayfield,
I ask that you support Marriage Equality.
Marriage Equality is not a matter of religion but of ensuring that all citizens are treated equally by the Government of the United States.
When my nephew was called early to serve in Afghanistan, he and his fiancée were refused their request to be married in the Catholic Church simply because they did not have time to complete the Catholic Church's requirement to take premarital counseling. They were eventually married by a non-denominational minister, who also marries gay couples. It wasn't until they filed paperwork for a license that they were legally married.
As much as people against Marriage Equality will have you believe, regardless of which religion you believe in and choose to have a marriage ceremony performed by, if you do not receive a marriage license from the US Government, you do not have a marriage recognized by the US Government and are not entitled to any of its marital laws.
This is the difference between Legal Marriage and Religious Marriage. Gay couples seek a Legal Marriage and are entitled to have the US Government recognized their love and their relationship as well as legal protections for their themselves, their family and their children (if they have or desire to have children).
How can you find this fair or wrong?
I am not one of your constituents, most of the other emails you receive - both in support and against Marriage Equality -- will not come from your constituents either. I ask that you not base your vote what the final total is but on what you know it the right and fair thing to do.
Thank you! Sincerely,
Sean D
Thanks to Joe.My.God.
