    Of course, the 2004 amendment died - not enough crazy congresspeoples to progress it, but it was on the table at the election.

    Not on the ballot, though, right? I stand corrected anyhow, I'm just curious.

    My personal theory is that he's trying to cash in on the 'Obama effect' as identified by Silvio Berlusconi: "... young, handsome and even tanned..."

    You had to stab me right in the kidneys, didn't you?

    Okay, gay rights, not gat rights. Although gat rights could be intriguing too.

    Interestingly, Obama did way worse that Kerry amongst teh gayz. I have no idea why - maybe related to disappointment at Clinton not being the nominee?

    Were gat right as much of a wedge issue last time round? I can't recall anything quite so headline-worthy (and fight-worthy) than Proposition 8 in California, and Obama kept mum about that, after stating during the campaign that he was against gay marriage.

  • Island Life: Let's be Frank,

    Meanwhile, anyone ever heard the words "I was wrong" pass Goerge Walker Herbert Bush's lips?

    That could be a killer slogan: "John Key - Better than Bush".

    Looks like they're playing Snakes and Snakes.

    If you buggers could just learn to save your ponies, we wouldn't be in this mess.

    Dude, have you any idea of the stable fees?

    My, I've just got my pony and it's delicious.
    Isn't wishful thinking fun?

    The particular wishful thought I've been ruminating is that, asinine as his speech the other night was, Key just seemed so happy. A Tory Prime Minister who at heart just wants to be loved may do considerable less damage than one who wants to do the right thing by his ideology to get the country through a rough patch.

    Then again, I wasn't in the country back then but the accounts I read suggest that Lange also wanted to be loved.

    Fuck me, I just ran over my pony.

    Kinda sucks that I have to ask.

    Word. The day after Obama won, one had to ask for permission to be elated. Now one has to ask for permission to be pissy. It must be an Internet thing, you've got to move on lightning quick so that prickery can fill the void.
