Apologies for the short diary, but there's something you can do that will cost the people trying to deny marriage rights in California some money. Not much money for each of us, but there are a lot of us.

The New Yorker ran a cover brutally attacking redneck stereotypes about Senator Obama and his wife. Considerations of fairness would seem to dictate that they just as viciously attack some absurd stereotypes about Senator McCain and his (current) wife.

So, what did they hit, and what false rumors about McCain could they hit just as hard? Obama's a Muslim! His wife is a terrorist! What equally false and ridiculous rumors are circulating about the McCains?

Why caving in on retroactive telcom immunity is wrong has been amply diaried here. And I do mean plenty amply. See, for example, Hunter's recent front page diary on the subject.

Senator Obama did say that he would "try" to remove the retroactive immunity provision.

OK, I don't always agree with Yoda. But he's right on target on this one. Obama can get the retroactive immunity provision taken out in the Senate. Reid is not going to treat the next President they way he treated Dodd. If Senator Obama really tries to get retroactive immunity removed, it will be removed.

And if he doesn't, then there's something else he should be reconsidering.

One of my favorite things about the internet is that it makes it impossible to get away with telling different stories to different audiences. Google will out you every time.

This is important to me because telling me one thing and my neighbor another is a sure way to lose my vote forever. Yes, I mean forever. How can I believe anything you say after you've done that?

The internet isn't the only way to catch them at it. Sometimes all you have to do is read both sides of a bilingual doorhanger.

Allow me please to show you Dennis Kucinich's two-faced doorhanger of 2004.

I see a lot of diaries and comments here from people on first name terms with a friend named Hillary. It's clear that some people like her and others don't. From the things I've read here, it would seem that she has some likeable qualities, and some qualities less so. Just like the rest of us.

But who is she?
