Legend says that Sonya Blade will fight the Lord and free us. It will be epic.

Which makes me wonder... is it illegal to sign a petition with a false name?

Hopefully we do get some equal rights eventually but Gov. SchwartzenReagan is a total asshole and going to veto any marriage law that comes to his desk.

What's with the Error 404's on your Della post? They are ruining my day.

And note to the timid fuckheads in Olympia: Oregon is more conservative than Washington. Get cracking on some real rights.

Sounds like it's not over yet by a stretch.

Yeah. That'll show 'em.

Or! You could be very personable and discuss how you feel with them. If that's too much to ask, and you really just want to fire them up, give them a hug. And gently close the door.

If one train leaves New York at 6:15 pm traveling 80 mph, and another leaves Boston at 6:30 pm traveling 70 mph, what would Jesus do?

#3, I believe they did collect more than was needed and after all the signatures were validated they were 116 short.

Yes, it is illegal to sign a petition with a false name, so if you do it just make sure that you don't give your real address, also many of the people who collect signatures are smart enough to realize that "Hugh G. Rection" is probably a false name and that "1122 Boogie Woogie Avenue, Seattle, WA 98666" is not a real address. I recommend using Jane Hague's name and address and signing petitions for the same initiativesmultiple times with it because the cops might look at this and figure "Yeah, that sounds like something that crazy, drunk bitch would do, get tanked up and tool around the county signing initiative petitions. Let's throw her ass in the joint."

The anti-gays claimed to turn in 63,000. Once those were sorted and culled by elections staff (a process that tosses out entire sheets if they're misnumbers, inaccurately dated, or have a problem with the circulator's signatures), the official raw number of signatures turned in was 60,531. Those signatures went out to the counties for statistical sampling, and the petitioners had a record high validity rate—almost 91 percent. But that still wasn't enough—only 55,063 were valid, 116 short of the 55,179 needed. (A second petition, to send our new non-discrimination law to a public vote, is still in the validation process, but had less raw signatures than the domestic partnership one, so there's a good chance it will also miss the mark).

And yes, the anti-gay campaign will most certainly try to do a repeal of the law. For that, they need 82,769 valid signatures by next July. (I think they can pull it off: They collected 55K valid ones in just 90 days, and now have 8 months to scare up almost twice as many. But the law will go into effect first, so voters will have a chance to see that the sky isn't falling.)

Reporting from Oregon...

It just doesn't work to use a rational argument with irrational people.

she's neat that way.

I realize a proper lady doesn't say things like this, but I can't wait to marry my man. It's going to be a big,hilarious deal when it happens, let me tell you.

It's gonna happen.

Excerpt from "Say Yes To War" by Dan Savage October 2002:

In the meantime, invading and rebuilding Iraq will not only free the Iraqi people, it will also make the Saudis aware of the consequences they face if they continue to oppress their own people while exporting terrorism and terrorists. The War on Iraq will make it clear to our friends and enemies in the Middle East (and elsewhere) that we mean business: Free your people, reform your societies, liberalize, and democratize... or we're going to come over there, remove you from power, free your people, and reform your societies for ourselves.
