Quote of the Day

Today, the United States Supreme Court is listening to arguments in two cases that will (1) decide the constitutionality of the Defense of Marriage Act and (2) the constitutionality of California's Proposition 8.

There have been numerous articles in the NYT about this, some going to ridiculous lengths to present an opposing view (witness Adam Lipnik's bizarre comparison of these cases to the Roe v. Wade decision). But the best one, by far is this one - In Less Than 50 Years, a Sea Change on Gay Rights.

The article concludes with this quotation from Former Congressman Barney Frank:

In his youth, Mr. Frank said, he realized he was drawn personally to men and professionally to government. He assumed the former would impede the latter.

“At this point,” he concluded, “I think my continued sexual attraction to men is more politically acceptable than my attraction to government.”

WHITE COLLAR COMMUNITY REWATCH - TONIGHT - BOOK OF HOURS 9:30 PM EDT/6:30 PM PDT/1:30 AM EDT

Just a quick note to pimp TONIGHT’S scheduled community rewatch of Book of Hours (the episode that launched a thousand Bad Ruiz fan fics).

The community rewatch works this...

You log into the chat room at the White Collar Writers' Union (wcwu) using Chrome or Safari (the chat widget doesn't work with Firefox) and at the right time, you launch your own copy of Book of Hours (either from Netflix or your DVDs or your computer) and chat along with the gang as the episode plays.

The scheduled start time tonight is 9:30 PM EDT/6:30 PM PDT/1:30 AM GMT (that's Wednesday morning for those on the other side of the Pond).

What a nice way to relax on a Tuesday night, especially for those who are recovering from Seder-induced food and wine comas.


Looks like Peter and Neal are getting set for their own rewatch
