Laughing at hillbillies never gets old. I halfway expect to see Ned Beatty squealing at the end

A pro prop 8 ad with Newsom? Was it one he appeared in willingly, or one of those ads that takes stock footage of someone, photoshops it to be darker and evil-looking, and overlays grim music?

It's footage from him after the CA Supreme Court ruling on same sex marriage.

The pro-Prop. 8 groups ran the ad with the Newsom footage through focus groups and it played really well.

Yeah that's the one... No way am I voting yes, BUT those clips they used really play to the idea that gay marriage is being shoved down people's throat. My personal libertarian view is that the state shouldn't dictate or recognize "marriage" in any way.. Civil unions (2 or more) for all!

Good point. I had the same thought. When civil and other rights are achieved by judicial interpretation, there's often a severe backlash. I'd much rather see a rational, deliberative process in the democratic realm. But the political system is too timid to truly do that, so sometimes we've got to gain or protect those rights by using the values enshrined in our constitutions (state or national).

Spidey: were you directly involved in that case? Must have been interesting.

The only black campaign credentialed reporter at a MCCain rally was thrown out. Apologies made later.

Studies indicate that without a solidified 'us and them' attitude and a little misplaced anger, all we'd be left with is self-loathing, responsibility and or beer. Another b word.

my new favorite drink is bourbon and coke zero... I know it sounds a little limp wristed, but something about the coke zero just goes well with the flavor.
