Apocalypse Nov.

Golly. It appears that the world might come to an end in November. According to Tony Perkins, president of the Family Research Council, who has taken leave of his faculties long ago,

[California's Proposition 8 is] more important than the presidential election. [ ] We’ve picked bad presidents before, and we’ve survived as a nation, [ ] but we will not survive if we lose the institution of marriage.

Well, I guess he should know. I mean, who's done more research on the family than the Family Research Council? But perhaps I'm not being fair. I mean, he's just predicting the end of the nation, not the end of the whole world, right? Wait, what's that, Charlie?

This vote on whether we stop the gay-marriage juggernaut in California is Armageddon.

That latter gem spewed forth from the mouth of Charles Colson, who would like to be known for founding Prison Fellowship Ministries, but who is probably more rightfully infamous for his role in Watergate.

Well, Libeqrats can at least take some sacrilegious heart knowing that CA Attorney General Jerry Brown knows how to play this End Times Game. He revised California's ballot header. I'm looking at my ballot right now, and indeed, Prop. 8 is not described as a measure to define marriage, but as one to "eliminate [the] right" of gay people to marry. And I admit, it's a pleasure that the accuracy of the description really annoys authoritarians.

As for my part, I've been working on the No on 8 campaign here in the heathen town of San Francisco, and the activism I've seen has been very encouraging. Personally, I'm looking forward to the raining frogs. How about you?
