*Lots* of blogging about “gay marriage”

Well, both Bush and the Pope have come out (ha) against gay marriage this week. I read one article describing how President Bush’s press conference seemed to take Howard Dean on all points, especially this issue: Dean is the democratic candidate seen as “most for” gay marriage.

Tapped’s article about how this will influence the election is interesting… they say that it’s going to bring more conservatives out to vote in 2004. That other article (source unremembered) talks about how this is distracting people from the “Iraq yellowcake” story.

the Politics we can’t do without

Closing the Washington Monument describes tactics that all government agencies have to embrace, if they want to stay away. The article describes how the National Park Service threatened to reduce visiting hours at the Washington Monument when asked to reduce their budget.

Maybe NC State and other groups (in this bankrupt state, at least) could take this ball and run with it.
