Gov. Schwarzenegger demands end to gay marriages: this is why I can't vote for Republicans. Ultimately they play to the extreme right, and the Republican right has become steadily more bizarre in the past 20 years. At the least, they represent a bastion of prejudice: as Mayor Dailey said so eleoquently, the threat to marriage is divorce, not gay people. And divorce, so far in this country, has been a 100% heterosexual (and largely Christian) affair. (AP photo) I don't buy the argument "it's a law" - slavery was once a law. I don't buy the argument "half of America is against gay marriage": half of America was once against civil rights for black people, too. Neither made racial discrimination right, any more than discrimination based on sexual preference is right...

Making Gumbo today using Chuck Taggart's recipe. The stock and herbs are simmering, and the whole house smells like a summer evening in the south of France. Cool and raining in Menlo Park today... good day to stay in and work on the new book...

Ooh... Dave's a bit touchy because I don't like the current banner photo on his blog and email newsletter. I just wasn't bowled over by a picture of 4 middle-aged white guys (probably because I am a middle-aged white guy). The photo Dave had on Scripting News a couple revs back, featuring a white fence, was very nice - just my opinion mind you. BTW, I don't consider myself a great photo editor, I was better as a photog, but judge for yourself...
