I will not rehash the Supreme Court of Connecticut's 4-3 decision granting full marriage rights to same-sex couples, because it's been adequately diaried above. This is a big victory for GLBT rights, but it is also subject to turnback at the ballot box, just as the California decision may be.

The whole controversy over Sen. George Felix "Macaca" Allen's subtle-but-not-so-subtle racism has caused me to reflect on my pre-secondary and secondary education. Allen, as you know, has an odd fascination with the memorobilia of the Confederacy--the only widescale act of treason the United States has ever had to face. You have certainly seen here his cameo in a really bad 2003 Civil War movie as a Southern soldier being led in a rousing rendition of "Band of Brothers," an 1861 patriotic song of the Confederacy that complained about how mean Abe Lincoln was being to them.

The Connecticut Democratic leadership has been making efforts to rally around their nominated man Ned over the last few days. All has appeared hunky-dory, at least until the Democratic Speaker of the Connecticut House decided he had to draw attention to himself while the legislature is out of session:

Connecticut House Speaker James Amman of Milford is sticking by Lieberman.

On Valentines Day, the community of intellectual property geeks noted a milestone, the issuance of the seven millionth in the current series of United States utility patents. DuPont was issued United States Patent 7,000,000 for an employee's innovation in the manufacture of polysaccharaide fibers. Speaking as a chemist by academic training, I have no issue with the ingenuity of the named inventor or the utility of the invention.

But should DuPont have received this particular catchy patent number, tailor made for a press release? A glimpse at the online Official Gazette of the United States Patent and Trademark Office suggests not. Read More

Bill O'Reilly must be pissed.

This month, as in every December since he took office, President Bush sent out cards with a generic end-of-the-year message, wishing 1.4 million of his close friends and supporters a happy "holiday season."

Many people are thrilled to get a White House Christmas card, no matter what the greeting inside. But some conservative Christians are reacting as if Bush stuck coal in their stockings.

WSJ Online is doing a poll on whether the Bolton recess nomination was the right thing to do. It's running 54-46 for Shrub as I type this--not bad given the audience.

I don't know if the poll is subscriber only, but the link is from the front page, which is viewable by nonsubscribers. Go to:

http://online.wsj.com

UPDATE: Per the first comment below, it is not subscriber only. Freep away.

Returns from Hart's Location, New Hampshire

Kerry 15
Bush 15

Bush won 17-13 ove Gore in 2000. A two-vote swing is a positive result.

Dixville Notch is taking a while to vote, according to the AP. The Notch went for Bush by a 21-5-1 (for Nader) margin in 2000.

I wanted to take a drive up there, but law school gets in the way. Sigh.
