I don't watch Glee, so I have no idea who these guys are. It's a cute video though.

I didn't like that rendition of Cold Outside. Kurt is too castrato and the new kid's part disappears in the mix, though he's got way more moxie as a singer.

Meanwhile, I'm gonna put 10K BC in my queue just for some more Strait action. Thanks, JayDub, for finding that much yummier pic of him from City Island. Le.Big.Sigh.

Video of December 6th's Hearing before the U.S. Ninth Circuit Court of Appeal of the Prop 8 case, in two handy segments (the first on whether anyone even has standing to pursue an appeal, and the 2nd on the actual merits of the appeal).

The case will likely go to an "en banc" panel of the Ninth Circuit (meaning a much larger panel than the 3 judges here), and then onto the Supreme Court.

As I read the law (and it seems pretty obvious to me), no one has standing to appeal. But I believe this court will ignore that, and take up this hot button political issue so that it can eventually reach the U.S. Supreme Court.

I had wanted that to happen, but I'd rather the law be followed. And in truth, I'm afraid to let the current composition of the Supreme Court get their filthy tyrannical paws on this issue. If the appeal does not go forward because of the standing issue, California will have equal marriage rights. That's really a hollow victory without federal and IRS recognition - but I think that's the best outcome possible at this time.

DADT repeal's last chance - and it's shaping up to be a good chance.

Kind of looks like you are.

It's tough if you've been following it through the last couple of years. Such back and forth, hopes - then dashed. I don't even give much of a damn about this particular gay rights issue, but the rollercoaster has been nerve-wracking nonetheless. And I'm sure many, like me, are just "wake me when it's over" tired of getting our hopes up.
