Today is Droid Day.

I’m really on the fence about getting one. I’d love to dump my work Blackberry for a Verizon smartphone. I’m hesitant to leave Verizon because we’re all on a family plan. I’ve got a New Every Two discount coming up in December.

Right now, Droid looks like the frontrunner though the subpar keyboards (yes, both of them) and iffy Exchange server support have me cautiously reconsidering.

Now that it’s out, I plan to go fondle it and see how it fits in my giant hands.

Working to serve you better.

It's official: WA voters pass expanded gay rights bill

karion:

Lost in the disappointment that happened in Maine is what happened in Washington state. In May of this year, our state legislature passed a bill that gave gay couples ALL of the rights of heterosexual married couples. Some out of state fuckwits sought to overturn the new state law and gathered enough signatures to put a measure on the ballot, repealing the law.

Washington voters upheld our legislators’ “everything but calling it marriage” bill. So there is at least one state where, when a goddamn civil rights measure was put to a popular vote, the voters did the right thing.

My faith in humanity has partially been restored. Thank you Washington!

“A ball and mustache all in one.” Looks like I found my dog’s Christmas present.

I am getting one of these for my parents and their dog. They’ll laugh themselves silly!

I have a poor chin for wool.

"But this isn’t really about what you think god wants, is it? You’re using the bible as an excuse for your own prejudices, selectively quoting the parts you happen to agree with. The old testament also states that you’re not allowed to shave your beard and that you must stone adulterers and disobedient children. It forbids wearing cloth made out of a mix of wool and linen. It states that women who have their period must not be touched for seven days. So, how many disobedient children have you stoned recently?"

I will take up the cause of stoning children!

Personal Droid Data Plan Will Cost $30 Per Month, Even With Exchange

Now this looks to be some good news. $30 data plans with or without Exchange on a consumer line and a $15 tethering option come January?

Something to keep an eye on!

"Religion is far more of a choice than homosexuality. And the protections that we have for religion — we protect religion. And talk about a lifestyle choice — that is absolutely a choice… It’s a travesty that people have forced someone who is gay to have to make their case that they deserve the same basic rights as someone else…"

Contrasting images from Maine. On the left, the people who had their rights taken away by a majority vote. And on the right, the people who happily celebrated, and put their hard work, time, and money into taking away the rights of their fellow human beings. (Images via Daylife)

Dear people on the right,

There is something seriously wrong with you.

Sincerely,
RH

Do you feel good about yourselves? You make people cry.

Meanies.

Front cover, Bangor (Maine) Daily News, Wednesday, November 4, 2009.

There are people who celebrate keeping people who love each other apart. There are people who make it their pathetic life’s work to keep two people who belong together from not being together. There are people who revel in not letting others be genuinely happy, and making them feel like second-rate citizens in their own country, for the want of “preserving tradition.”

These people are assholes.

These assholes pictured above are the New England Patriots at halftime of Super Bowl XLII. They are the British Army celebrating the victory at Charleston. They are the rich white dudes who a hundred years ago didn’t want blacks and women to vote. They may be winners today, but history doesn’t care about what happens at halftime. All that matters is the final score. And in the end, I guaranfuckintee you that our side will be victorious.

Very well said.
