I have no doubt whatsoever that if the voters decide it, those who oppose it would be in the courts trying to stop it. The folks who oppose same-sex... - http://curiocity.org/post...
930club: After teasing fans at a recent show about a finished (and somehow still unreleased) album, we can now be certain of a 2012 arrival for Fiona’s follow up to 2005’s Extraordinary Machine.

bornofanatombomb: Today’s Style Okay, I like the style, but that’s not why I’m reblogging this. The combination of green of that shirt and the orange of that tie have triggered something in my memory, something submerged just under the surface.
