Yenta-in-Chief - Where should Bush focus his promotion of marriage proposal? The NYT argues that the place to start is in Burlington, Vermont, home of Drs. Howard and Judith Dean. Even with Carol Moseley Braun's endorsement, if I don't see a cookie recipe from Judy soon, I may not even be able to consider voting for Howie.

Now, you know who is outraged, simply OUTRAGED, with the promotion of marriage proposal? The National Gay and Lesbian Task Force (who have taken to calling themselves simply The Task Force, on their website). I'm not in support either, but come on people! This is supposed to be a professional lobbying organization and the best they can come up with is "he's catering to a voting bloc!" DUH! Don't all politicians try to do things to appeal to voters? And what's with the "grand masters" reference? Thinly veiled allusion to the Klan? If that's the best strategy they can come up with then I'm glad I've never sent any money to The Task Force.

Oh, and speaking of marriage, members of the California Assembly are trying to make another end-run around Prop 22.
