“Hampsure” was a typo? I thought it was some sort of clever pun.

thanks, Piper

I haven’t seen the new Tim Burton movie, but I do intend to this week. Glad you liked the Jabberwocky reference.

I would bet that Maggie had a crush/first love that was gay, dumped her and she will never get over it. Every time I see her picture the immortal phrase “No…Wire…Hangers” comes to mind.

It’s a state with a popular generic national partisan split of currently about 56%D/44%R. Popular support for gay marriage legalization tends to trail the national D percentage by about 10. Both numbers are trending upward nationally at 1% per year, though NH is probably slightly slower than that.

The 2/3 requirement is out of NOM’s reach. It’s still maybe five more years until it’s really all over in NH, but I think the legalization will weather these last efforts by the reactionaries.

The good news in the 1% per year trend lies in California- this year support for gay marriage there probably meets and very slightly clears the 50% mark. When California repeals Prop. 8 in 2012 the game changes.

Timothy, did you go see the new “Alice in Wonderland”? I had to read it again, but I liked your AiW reference! But seriously, Maggie isn’t going to talk about anything that makes her look stupid, so I’m not surprised.

Which is the town that flipped and voted to commend the state? I’ll have to spend some money there.
