I like Twitter

...but getting this message sucks. 



What's my twitter name?

 of course!








In all fairness, it doesn't happen too often.

Who painted the moon black?

It was too cloudy here to view the lunar eclipse.  Were you able to see it?  



Happy Solstice!

They just wanted to show their national pride

I saw this on CNN's Fareed Zakaria GPS this morning and couldn't resist sharing.  The 2010 Asian Games have recently ended, and so have the patriotic swimsuits of one team.  Singapore's information ministry rebukes the water polo team's swimsuits as "inappropriate."  



 Perhaps the Singaporean government has embarrassed the country more than that pair of swimming trunks ever could.

Illinois to be sixth state to allow civil unions

Illinois Senate approves civil unions; bill headed to governor - Springfield, IL - The State Journal-Register

The bill becomes law on June 1, 2011, even if the Governor does not sign the bill.  Governor Quinn made a campaign promise to sign the bill into law, so I expect he will follow through.  I'm still in shock that this bill passed!
