• Senators who voted for it say they were wrong.
• Law professors say it's unconstitutional.
• Former cabinet officials and generals say it was a bad idea.
• So even does a CIA officer.

And more.

And more and more and more...

This has been quite a week, hasn't it?

DOMA is dead. Anyone who thinks otherwise is delusional. The California gay marriage prop is what really matters.

The political fights over sexual liberty in this country are pretty much resolved, and the Ayes have it.

Just in time, because the next freedom fight has started, over the police state slippery slope. That one may take decades to resolve as well.

So we wasted our time/energy/freedom fightingness while they built up their arsenals. Great gameplan guys!

Which broad is it who's attacking?

Happily, the police state fight is about rules, not bullets.

Right now, we're slowly losing our rights, but the loss has been pretty imperceptible in the areas of talking and/or voting about freedom. So everything that's gone wrong is reversible.

Not really any good place to put this, so given we're all football fans, this will have to do.

Reported on today:

Cornerback Chris Culliver, who last month vowed to learn more about the gay and lesbian community after his well-publicized comments about gays in the locker room at the Super Bowl, began making good on that promise today.

Culliver spent the day at the Los Angeles office of The Trevor Project, which provides crisis and suicide intervention for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and questioning youths. Culliver's public relations representative, Theodore Palmer, said that Culliver, 24, met Sunday with the group's executive director. He also paid to have the organization's national education trainer fly in from New York for Monday's session.

Trevor Project spokeswoman Laura McGinnis said that if Culliver follows through on becoming a volunteer, there are several things he could do, including becoming a crisis intervention volunteer or working with programs directed at young people, ages 13-24. McGinnis said there was no reason to suspect that Culliver wasn't sincere in his desire to understand and help at-risk youth.

Do you really want a homophobe doing public relations fly overs to serve as a crisis intervention volunteer?

Seriously? If the guy is serious have him lick stamps or organize a fundraiser for NFL players. Having some knucklehead manage an actual crisis sounds like a HORRIBLE idea.

If they do that, shame on the Trevor Project for letting themselves get played like this.
