Marriage Equality in New York State: Via Joe.My.God:
Sen. Malcolm Smith said today that he will cease negotiations on the reorganization of the Senate with the so-called “Gang of Three”. "We are suspending negotiations, effective immediately, because to do so otherwise would reduce our moral standing and the long-term Senate Democratic commitment to reform and change,” Smith said. “It became very clear to me, over time, that those negotiations started being more about self interest.”
This sort of puts the final nail in the coffin on the idea that Prop 8 killed marriage equality in New York, so beloved of "gay" conservatives.
Jon Stewart nails Mike Huckabee:
That's enough wing-nut watching for today. On to something more real: New Jersey.

And a final note on Prop 8: Queerty has an interview with Rick Jacobs of the Courage Campaign, which fielded possibly the most on-point ad of the campaign in spite of No on 8:
The ad has gotten over 450,000 YouTube views and framed the church leadership as out of touch and over reaching for its interference in our state. The ad was written, directed and produced for under $1,000 by volunteers.
It was the only ad in the entire season that showed a same-sex couple. After the election, the LA Times editorial criticizing the No on 8 campaign said this was the only “hard-hitting ad” of the campaign, and it was not even an official [ad].
Does that tell you everything about the No on 8 leadership? They think like establishment Democrats, which is a sure recipe for disaster.
Gack! Enough. Running out of steam, and done with it for today.
