It's All About The Journey

[From an article in today's New York Times:]

["This is our honeymoon, and there is no way we would rather spend it," (just married L.A. attorney Alan) Birnbaum said. "We will win in the long run. Any setbacks are temporary. No civil rights movement in this country has ever failed."]

[How I wish that were literally true. (How's that Equal Rights Amendment doing? How about D.C. statehood? How's labor compared to the hopes of the movements of the early 20th century?) Mr. Birnbaum's sentiment is appreciated, though it requires a certain faith-based, imparfait state of mind that I find difficult to sustain.]

[Also in the news (give me the little sound effect from CBS's 1970s Saturday morning "In The News"):]

["People need to be involved in this decision," Bush said. "Marriage ought to be defined by the people not by the courts. And I'm watching it carefully." What a relief, the Prez is on the case! Which people, Shrub? The 3,000 same-sex couples who will be married by Friday at City Hall? He. Is. Just. So. Wrong.]

[Also, Laura Bush wows us in Santa Monica: "She defended her husband's credibility and took a shot at Democrats who allege he skipped out on his National Guard duty. 'I think it's a political, you know, witch hunt, actually, on the part of Democrats,' she said." Gasp! Not a vast left-wing conspiracy?!]
