California Prop 8

Jason Thibeault

It’s scary and sad at the same time that the polling for Proposition 8, the proposition to repeal legal gay marriage in California, not only shows a severe upswing for the Bad Guys, but the polling also resembles uncannily a Jesus Fish.  Is this pollreidolia?

Update: The plot thickens!  It seems the Yes-on-Prop-8 coalition is blackmailing companies that support the No side.  Funny that the side willing to stoop to immoral practices always seems to be the side claiming moral superiority, isn’t it?  And by funny, I mean gutwrenchingly depressing.

Hi! I'm a tech guy, skeptic, feminist, gamer and atheist, and love OSS and science of all stripes. I enjoy a good bit of whargarbl now and again, and will occasionally even seek it out. I am also apparently responsible for the death of common sense on the internet. My bad.

I have opinions. So do you. You want to share them with me. I would like to do likewise. Please don't expect a platform for proselytizing that will go unchecked and unchallenged, though. Contact me via the clicky thingies under my banner.
