Before I get started, if you need your morning fix of politics, Atrios has a good morning buffet, including some jokes about the wisdom of Sen. John Cornyn, R-Texas, who in arguing for the hate amendment had this to say: "It does not affect your daily life very much if your neighbor marries a box turtle. But that does not mean it is right. Now you must raise your children up in a world where that union of man and box turtle is on the same legal footing as man and wife."
What a load of santorum.
