“I want him to succeed. But I am very upset by what he’s not done in terms of rights of gays and lesbians. I understand it tactically in a campaign, but at this point I don’t know. There is some belief that he actually doesn’t believe in same-sex marriage. But it’s fundamentally inexcusable for a member of the Democratic Party to stand on the principle that separate is now equal, but only on the basis of sexual orientation. We’ve always fought for the rights of minorities and against the whims of majorities.”

-- @GavinNewsom, SF Mayor, to Maureen Dowd, about Barack Obama.

we take your sexy republican, and raise you one sexy democrat.

love his sister too.

“I am Quinn’s father. I will do everything in my power to provide her with the love and support she deserves. I have been able to spend time with her during the past year and trust that future efforts to show her the love and affection she deserves can be done privately and in peace. It was wrong for me ever to deny she was my daughter and hopefully one day, when she understands, she will forgive me. I have been providing financial support for Quinn and have reached an agreement with her mother to continue providing support in the future. To all those I have disappointed and hurt these words will never be enough, but I am truly sorry.”
--John Edwards

"I have to believe [that he wasn't the father]," Elizabeth said. "Because if I don’t, it means I’m married to a monster."
--Elizabeth Edwards (oops)

read this nymag article. he had plenty of opportunities to come clean and admit the truth, and he kept babbling self-destructive non truths. he has ruined himself.

Rachel Maddow Quote

"It's time for Democrats to choose a path forward: either quit, and let the party with 41 votes control the agenda. Or fight, with 59 votes, and give people a reason to vote for you again."

what? architects are unemployed?

the new york times delivers some shocking news, and profiles some architecture jerks who used their brains to make new jobs for themselves:

"A troubled economy and the implosion of the real estate market have thrown thousands of architects and designers out of work in the last year or so, forcing them to find or create jobs. According to the latest data available from the Department of Labor, employment at American architecture firms, which peaked last July at 224,500, had dropped to 184,600 by November.

It’s hard to find a place to hide when the economy goes down,” said Kermit Baker, the chief economist at the American Institute of Architects. “There aren’t any strong sectors now.”

And it’s not clear when the industry will recover. Architecture firms are still laying off employees, and Mr. Baker doesn’t expect them to rehire until billings recover, which he thinks won’t be until the second half of this year at the earliest.

In the meantime, many of those who have been laid off are discovering new talents often unrelated to architecture." (via)

COOOORRRNHOOOLLEE

Amy and I joined a cornhole league that starts next week. Yesterday, we received an email with the schedule and the names of the other 31 teams.
Here are some high and lowlights.

Some of the best: "The Corn Hoes", "Hell Hath No Fury Like a Woman Corned", "Maized and Confused"

Some of the worst: "Team Gates" (boooorrrring), "Beanbag Puns are Corny" (no fun), "Annie and Andrew" (G.M.A.B!)





Start thinking about what your team name will be for the 3rd annual International Cornhole Cup!
Details to follow.

typical georgia fan.

Venezuelan leader Hugo Chavez has once again accused the United States of playing God. But this time it's Haiti's disastrous earthquake that he thinks the U.S. was behind. Spanish newspaper ABC quotes Chavez as saying that the U.S. navy launched a weapon capable of inducing a powerful earthquake off the shore of Haiti. He adds that this time it was only a drill and the final target is ... destroying and taking over Iran. (via)

Whytes Only

A new Basketball league is forming in Augusta, Georgia. The group is open to "players that are natural born United States citizens with both parents of Caucasian race." The theory is that there is a fundamental difference between the way that players of different races apprach the game of basketball. The founder, Don "Moose" Lewis, appears to hope that his league will be comprised of like-minded individuals who will complete chest passes and bank shots. As a coach and a player, I can promise you, dear readers, that Moose is in for a rude awakening. The game of basketball has changed. MORE
















*Hoosiers, not Moose.

glenn beck's low opinion of scott brown

"I want a chastity belt on this man. I want his every move watched in Washington. I don't trust this guy. This one could end with a dead intern. I'm just saying. It could end with a dead intern."
