So, how about this?

You're in an office working with a bunch of people at a company. You work there because you feel that what you're doing is important and that it's a just cause.
But what if every single person in that office felt that you and only you did not deserve to get married. In fact, the work you are doing with them in part is preventing you from getting married. There is no Mrs. scaeagles. Your family is not valid with these people.
Sitting in the lunch room, you happen to mention your wife. The friend you're having lunch with says, "Your wife?! No, you mean your friend because that's what we all believe around here." Never mind the 15 years you spent with her, she's just a friend... someone you pal around with.
You go to HR. "My wife needs to have her appendix taken out." You say.
HR says to you, "Uh, yeah. Your friend doesn't share benefits with you. Sorry. She'll have to pay for the whole thing out of pocket."

Now tell me, how long would you stay in that office? I mean, the cause still seems just to you but is the damage you're doing yourself (and your family) alright with you?

Robo Rudy Guliani called me on the phone. My goodness, does that man need therapy.

So someone in the GOP still thinks Wisconsin is still in play...that's good news indeed.

Out here in the Willamette Valley of Oregon I've only had one call....from Obama America, way back in August....since the primaries.
