1. If Texas did secede from the U.S., as some of their arrogant wing-nuts want, we would be rid of both Sen. Ted Cruz and Sen. Louie Gohmert in the U.S. Congress, and the noise level would decrease a lot.
2. Illinois is now the 15th state to legalize marriage equality
for same-sex couples. If we add in D. C. as a state, and if New
Mexico's joining in gets upheld in appeals court, then we'd have 17 of
51 -- exactly one-third. Plus, they're working on it in Hawaii's
legislature now.
3. Jon Stewart's pithy comment on the Republicans' hissy fit about the failure of Obamacare: "So, yes, the president was somewhat dishonest about the promise of his
healthcare program, but here's the weird part, his opponents have been
lying like motherf*ckers about its effects."
4. For all the whoopla about Christie's big re-election win in NJ (60.4% - 38.1%) and the assumption that he is now the front runner for the 2016 GOP presidential nomination, get this: Exit polls show Hillary Clinton beating Christie in a match-up by 48% to 44% -- in his home state of New Jersey.
In our world today, a little good news goes a long way.
