    Mazel tov!

    Gay couples have been waiting so long, they've presumably bought the dishes, etc., already. Time to set your sights on luxuries. Maybe a nice wine refrigerator?

    I had been a bit worried about that question here, but thankfully it wasn't even that close. The Catholic Church had been promoting it especially vigorously.
     
  4. I take back every bad thing I ever said about Connecticut.

    Well, except for Geno.

    Even this Nutmegger will tell you Geno's a complete asshat.

    Beaks, I didn't hear anything about the question until like the week before the election. And then I heard a radio ad where they REALLY glossed over the point. They were like "vote for a constitutional convention because right now, you have no voice in your state!" And it sounded logical.

    Until I did some research.

    I guess I was more worried about it than I needed to be, IJAG. It just seemed like it was hyped up pretty well.

    We'll see how much they dig it when someone has half their shit taken.

    Well, I only listen to the radio on my way to work (7 miles) and when I watch TV it's either national channels or my Tivo. I was only speaking for myself. Didn't mean to sound like I was commenting on your statement.

    I apologize.

    Oh, no problem at all. I definitely was more worried about it than I had to be given that the final vote wasn't even that close. Some of the numbers previous to the vote made it seem like it was going to be a tighter call.
