PROP 8 - PART II: The Rest of the Ass-Kicking

Ahhh. Almost Spring. Birds chirping. Buds sprouting. Flowers blooming. Bees buzzing. And right in tune with Nature's whimsy in all its wondrous manifestations, we have the California Supreme Court holding hearings on Proposition 8. Yawn.

Sounds like someone's gonna get their ass kicked again. Some people never learn.

Oh well.
