| On marriage Joel Mathis is upset with the National Review. The conservative journal responds to last week's ruling against the federal Defense of Marriage Act, an act that blocks legal recognition of legal marriages between same-sex couples, by arguing:
If heterosexual coupling did not regularly produce children there would be no reason for the institution of marriage to exist, let alone [..] |

| TAM Thoughts From last Thursday through Sunday, I was in Las Vegas at The Amazing Meeting!, a gathering of skeptics hosted by James "The Amazing" Randi. Randi, for those of you unschooled in these matters, was a stage magician who got involved in debunking the claims of psychics and other flimflam artists. He orchestrated a rather famous debunking of psychic Uri Geller on the Carson show (you can find it [..] |

Thoughts on MLK Day ![Click here to read Comic Book Series Helps Make Sense Of Nier - Comic Book Series Helps Make Sense Of Nier [Square Enix]](http://cache-02.gawkerassets.com/assets/images/9/2010/03/160x120_neir.jpg) For once I tried to think ahead about a major anniversary, and I'm still casting about for original thoughts on what would have been Martin Luther King Jr.'s 80th birthday.
Obviously, there's the significance of MLK Day being followed by President Obama's inauguration. That's a connection so obvious that it needs to commentary. King had a dream, and while little white boys and little [..] |

| More on marriage in California Former congressman Jim Ryun's baby boy Ned opines on marriage equality in California. He calls for state and federal constitutional amendments, saying:
if the other side on this debate wants to push their agenda down our throats thru the judicial system, we push back.But what, exactly, is being pushed down his throat? How does it affect him whether a gay couple [..] |

Another thought on marriage  Martin Cothran jokes:
Are the issues of same-sex marriage and interracial marriage the same kind of issue? Well, we could be smart alecky and point out that one has issue and the other doesn't, but we won't settle for that.This is an example of a joke that isn't a joke; joking-but-for-real, if you will. He's waving off a stupid comment as a joke, but the bad joke [..] |

Thoughts on Texas  Berlanga and Nuñez voted against the final TEKS, the other 13 voted to approve them. Texas has new science standards. Those standards are better than the old ones, but those old standards really did suck. As the Fordham Institute put it, giving the standards an F in 2005, "Thematic unities, so persuasively urged in the national guides, have an effect here opposite to that advertised. Th [..] |

I'm here at the British Council's conference on Darwin's Living Legacy. It's really a remarkable event, bringing together brilliant biologists from around the world to talk about how the research program begun by Darwin continues today, as well as historians and philosophers giving us a nuanced view of Darwin himself and the reception of his ideas aroun [..] |

| Thoughts from Kakistocracy We truly are ruled by the worst in society. Proposition 13, the supermajority requirement for tax increases, and the state's inane proposition system more generally, are destroying California. But what can you do about it?:

Passover thoughts ![Click here to read Kotaku Off Topic: A Friend For Blech Beard - Kotaku Off Topic: A Friend For Blech Beard [How Is This News?]](http://cache-01.gawkerassets.com/assets/images/9/2010/04/160x120_madballs.jpg) On Passover, we celebrate freedom. "Once we were slaves in Egypt," we tell children at the table, "but now we are free." As Rabbi Michael Lerner points out, "Egypt, mitzrayim in Hebrew, comes from the word tzar: the 'narrow place,' the constricted place." Ours is a freedom not just from the strictures of forced labor, but from constricted thinking.
In that spirit we can celebrate bot [..] |

| Brief thoughts on analogies Apologies for the unusually crappy blogging this week. With the arrival of a replacement from my lost/stolen laptop, I should catch up on the 12,000 unread items in NetNewsWire soon, and return to normal crappy blogging.
In any event, Chad Orzel replies to last week's ruckus over "ways of knowing" by observing that "Using Analogies on the Internet Is Like Doing a Really Futile Thing": [..] |

Do you think if Barack Obama had left his seriously ill wife after having had multiple affairs, had been a member of the "Keating Five," had had a relationship with a much younger lobbyist that his staff felt the need to try and block, had intervened on behalf of the client of said young lobbyist with a federal agency, had denounced th [..] |

To whit: free beer in the hall itself. Also free condoms, free chocolate (including both M&Ms and chocolate Pill dispensers), toys from Toy Manufacturers of America, and no fewer than five versions of the US Constitution.
Also, the John Birch Society still exists, and is handing out [..] |
