-To preserve the Commonwealth's sovereignty- and, apparently, having run out of rights to strip from gay Virginians- the state house has voted to deny poor people health care.
-Will libraries go the way of movie theaters, where people talk all the time and spill stuff on the floors? In the UK, libraries are being re-envisioned as "palazzos of human thought," for people who don't, actually, think much.
-Given Capitol Hill's get-along, go-along homophobia, Eric Massa's claim of naked lobbying is dubious. House Republicans, still smarting from their own harboring of Mark Foley, are shivving the Ds.
-The New Yorker wonders why macho Mexico is more rational about marriage equality than its northern neighbor.

-Karl Rove says mean gay people forced him to make marriage equality an issue in the 2004 election when he just wanted to make nice with them.
-NC GOP Congressman Patrick McHenry continues to insist he's not gay. Just for the record. We take him at his word. But why do people keep asking him?
-US House Republicans have pledged to forsake funding earmarks- until they get re-elected in November.
-None of the world's 12 sexiest cities is in SC. Remove the "e" and we might have some contenders.
