Is There a Full Moon?

From least important, to most:

My state’s Governor, Sonny Perdue, prominently featured in the post below, actually vetoed a repressive bill passed by our Legislature. They had decided that police could seize any car stopped, which was driven (not necessarily owned) by an illegal alien. I’m not at all sure what drove him to recognize that the State and the Country have constitutions which protect against violations of due process; but, I applaud Sonny.

Next, the California Supreme Court (I know this doesn’t really count) ruled that gay people can get married, not just civilly unioned. The sky has not yet fallen. If the sun comes up in the east in the morning, I’m going to assume that the world will continue schlepping along.

Finally, here’s an article at Slate.com that reports that military lawyers have refused to play nice with our Government’s attempt to conduct and win show trials of detainees at Guantanamo. And their ethical stances are working.

Well not finally. So as to establish that all is not right with the world, President Bush equated those who would actually talk to countries with which it disagrees to be appeasers of the like that aided Hitler. Yep, we aren’t ever goin’ talk to those people. We’ll just spend trillions with the hope that they’ll just quit bein’ bad guys and just stand back while the Shiites and Sunnis in Iraq kill each other and our soldiers.
