Gay marriage news

Pretty much how I expected things to shake out here in California. It's an embarrassment, to be sure, but at least the state isn't going to get in the business of breaking up married couples. That's something. I fully expect that gay marriage will be legal for good starting next year, as I doubt the Mormons will try as hard to derail it this time--their pound of flesh has been extracted.

Problem: I have lots of opinions on politics and culture that I need to vent. If I do not do this I will wind up muttering to myself, and that's only like one or two steps away from being a hobo. Solution: I write two blogs. A political blog that has some evident sympathies (pro-Obama, mostly liberal though I dissent on some issues, like guns and trade) and a culture blog that does, well, cultural essays in a more long-form manner. My particular thing is taking overrated things (movies, mostly, but other things too) down a peg and putting underrated things up a peg. I'm sort of the court of last resort, and I tend to focus on more obscure cultural phenomena.
