My personal musings about anything that gets on my radar screen--heavily dominated by politics.

So Much News. . .

Too little time tonight. So I'll leave it at one quick hit.

I found the juxtaposition today of the celebration of the 50th Anniversary of Brown v. Board with the commencement of gay marriage in Massachussetts a laughable irony. Brown was not allowed to go to school; he was not allowed to eat in a restaurant; he was not allowed to free life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness; he was not allowed to vote (symbolically speaking, in some states). By contrast, gays are not allowed to . . . get a piece of paper recognizing their marriage. Seriously? This is the uproar and the great civil rights battle of our time?

Kinda pales in comparison.
