4. Thank God somebody down there . . .
is able to stand against the outrageous laws being passed by some of the bigots and zealots in these state legislatures.

(And a quiet victory for Pete Williams to have reported this story).

6. GOOD DEAL! Arkansas got pasted as hick when....
...the RNC sent out all those "Liberals will band the Bible" flyers to folks in that state before the elex. This judge has helped balance that a bit.
