Boo HOO. Who need a floral arrangement NOW?!

I've been meaning to write on this for some time, and haven't had the opportunity. I'll cover it in greater detail later, but...

A Michigan Court of Appeals overruled Ingham County Judge Draganchuk regarding 2004's Proposal 2: same-sex partnership benefits are illegal in public employment, including state, municipal, and university level.

Sent me into a tailspin of furor, it did. But for right now, I can only take cathartic joy in the musings of comedienne Margaret Cho. So here's a YouTube for your viewing pleasure:

Deeper and Deeper and Further She Goes.

Michigan House Rep. John Stahl's very own 101st Fightin' Keyboardist thinks that the best way to get out of a hole is to dig deeper.

Luckily for her, she had a very special defense for her very special comments:

Secondly, if you want to talk about what I was doing on my computer at work why don't you drive down by the House Office Building and see your fellow liberals taking multiple smoke breaks and hanging out at beaners.
[...]
Or check Jenny G's administration to see how many of them take smoke breaks everyday or get on their computer to do a little shopping. At least what I am doing on my computer is fighting for mine and other constituent beliefs and laying to rest whatever misinformation they may receive from visiting your web site, thus that is part of my job.

Amazon.com = smoking break = accusing the left blogosphere that abortion is a secret plan to commit genocide of African Americans, and harrassing Michigan citizens for their political beliefs. Got it.

At least we can take a big sigh of relief that Jamie Hope is "fighting for her beliefs" on our dime rather than committing the evil crime of taking a cigarette break. Or supporting Michigan business at a local coffee shop. Beaner's is a Lansing, Michigan headquartered and founded business, you know.

... And people wondered why Gov. Granholm and the Republican State Legislature weren't BFF in her first term.

So for Jamie Hope, I doth offer this song to her in tribute:
