Friday Open Thread

Just opening up a thread in case anybody wants to rip on anything (or anybody)....

Some interesting happenings:

Both New York State and Georgia Supreme Courts have rendered rulings opposed to Gay Marriage....some call these setbacks....

The Lieberman/Lamont debate went down last night and has some fascinating overtones...(e.g. Lieberman used "Reaganesque tactics"....."there you go again...")

Marshfield News-Herald coverage of the Pittsville 4th of July Parade was....pathetic? If you can find a more demeaning term feel free to use it....
Don't forget to check in with the AirAmerica club site...Joe Roppe is making changes and updating the site every day. I think this is going to be a good movement. I listened to our local radio station this morning and was completely disgusted with the amateurish, juvenile bantering that was taking place (this particular program was broadcast simultaneously to both Rapids and Marshfield). Sometime after noon today, that same station will "treat" us to Bill O'Reilly and then, in quick succession, Sean Hannity....http://www.progressivetalkstevenspoint.com/ ....it's time to make a change.....

Just a short musing......I've always had this fantasy..(NO! not THAT KIND OF FANTASY) of being wealthy enough to purchase my dream machine....and while surfing the web last night I found it....here it is.... 235mph cruise, 3-axis autopilot, six seats, weather radar, GPS...It's a 1962 model but still none better......

As the song from Fiddler on the Roof asks, "..would it spoil some vast, eternal plan, if I were a wealthy man?"

I would like to rip on a few judges in New York for their badly conceived judgement on the subject of gay marriage, but it wouldn't do any good at this point. I HAVE been reading all of your excellent posts, Ed, but have been too busy to respond. I do so like your idea of a local bloggers' float entry in area parades. There is certainly no lack of subject matter from which to weave ideas for spoofs or parodies!
