Now here a reasoned approach to the whole Prop 8 controversy. Some of the ideas may sound familiar.... Revisiting Prop 8, By Jim Mendrinos, Political Comedian.

Let me catch you up on the Prop 8 scorecard. California became one of the first states to allow same sex marriage. After 18 thousand same sex couples were married, opponents got together to nip all this marrying in the bud, so they got the required number of signatures, got Prop 8 on the ballot and after the two sides spent a combined 83 million dollars, California voters passed a resolution that says: “Only marriage between a man and a woman is valid or recognized in California.”

What a giant waste of time and money. It’s also cruel. One day people had a right to marry, the next day they didn’t. What California did was akin to what Lucy has been doing to Charlie Brown for decades. “C’mon, kick the ball, Chuck.”

Then on May 26th, the California Supreme Court upheld the ban on same sex marriage but said that couples married when the statute was legal are still married. So it is legal for these 18 thousand couples, but that’s it. Don’t come knocking on California’s door if you want a same sex marriage, we’re maxed out.

Please, someone tell me they’re kidding.

A well reasoned argument is like a diamond: impervious to corruption and crystal clear - and infinitely rarer.

Here, as elsewhere, people are outraged at what feels like a rigged game -- an economy that won't respond, a democracy that won't listen, and a financial sector that holds all the cards. - Robert Reich
