It's Raining, it's pouring. . .

So I'm not out there biking or running or whatever else I do -- what is there to write about? Politics and Religion!

The questionable Guv of the good ol' Golden State is a joke. [I was going to write, "In my opinion. . . ," but really -- you're reading my blog and I'm not paid to do this. It's obviously my own opinion. ] He's a joke who was elected twice, though, and we're stuck with him until after the 2010 election, unless there's another joke of a recall in California. Wouldn't that be something. Those who live by the sword . . .

Anyway. Long story short: he signed a bill that creates "Harvey Milk Day" each May 22. People are mad about that because Harvey was gay. You know the drill. "They" are now accusing him of being a pedophile (in some religions [okay -- in some conservative religious zealot's heads], gay is synonomous with pedophile, so I follow the argument), teachers are going to teach homosexuality in schools, yadda yadda. And we have a state 'day of recognition' (no, not a holiday -- there is no cost to the state whatsoever) honoring the gay/pedophile/first openly gay person in public office who was murdered by a crazy son of a bitch who barely served any time because of the now-defunct "Twinkie Defense." [You got questions? I got answers.]

Then the joke of a Guv signed a law that basically says, "California respects the full faith and credit clause in the U.S. constitution. . . mostly." Full faith and credit says that laws/contracts in one state will be honored by other states if that first state's laws don't violate the constitution of the second state. So the recently-signed-bill says that if a gay couple gets married in Massachusetts, por ejemplo, and then they move to California, California will give that couple the same recognition that a gay couple would get in California. So if you're gay married in MA, you're Domestically Partnered in CA. Equal? [This does not violate the stupid DOMA, in case you were wondering.] It's something, I guess. And it doesn't violate California's Constitution that now says "We hate the gays and we don't want them recruiting our children, bastardizing our churches, or thinking that they can have equal rights." Or something like that.
As of today, if a gay California couple got married between June 15, 2008 and November 3, 2008, there are still married. We'll see how long that lasts.

Here's a good quote from the UK Guardian:

The Campaign for Children and Families called the Harvey Milk law "the strongest impetus yet for loving parents to remove their children from anti-family public schools".

On the same day that Schwarzenegger signed into law Harvey Milk day, Obama reaffirmed his campaign pledge to end the ban on homosexuals serving openly in the military in a speech to America's largest gay group, although he offered no timetable for implementing his promise.

Anti-family public schools?

Sort of feel like pow pow pow! coming out swinging today. Like the attacks are starting anew. Ahhh. So it goes. God wants them to be that way. [Really, though, click on that link.]

If my roommate isn't home, maybe I'll do a little pow pow pow Billy Blanks tonight.
