And some quick political links

A judge belonging to a conservative church (it lists One Man One Woman Marriage as one of its fundamental principles) struck down Virginia’s anti-gay marriage law.
•Roy Edroso on the right-wing conviction Obama is a tyrant. My favorite is the conservative whose response to the Senate dropping the filibuster (specifically for votes on presidential appointments, not for everything) was to declare that “ultimately, if you got a majority of folks who believe in something, then it should be able to pass” is “dangerous, repugnant theory that could be used as an excuse to undermine almost every part of the American constitutional settlement.” Certainly the majority isn’t always entitled to get its way. That’s why we have a Bill of Rights and a Constitution. But short of that yeah, the majority does gets its way. And the filibuster isn’t part of the “American constitutional settlement,” it’s a procedural tool that the Senate came up with (and right-wingers tend to embrace or reject depending who’s wielding it).
•A Time-Warner shareholder is suing to stop the Time-Warner/Comcast merger.
•LGM on the Kansas “government can discriminate against gays” bill.
