Dear Ed Morrissey or dear Allahpundit at Hot Air gave me a busy evening by linking in the Hot Air Headlines my post below on Hawaii Gov. Lingle’s veto of a new law that would allow civil unions for same-sex partners. (Psssst! Who can tell me what the number to the right of the headline …

Sassy Gay Friend saves Eve in Paradise
Gov. Lingle’s rationale for vetoing civil unions for gays validates the point that there’s no such thing as ‘separate but equal’
Hawaii’s Republican Gov.

Apple’s iPhone 4 vs. Sprint’s HTC Evo
The two animations below are from the same writer and give the pros and cons of Apple’s iPhone 4 and Sprint’s HTC Evo. The first one was linked last week at The Atlantic and I found the second one when I was browsing on YouTube. I advise against eating or drinking while you watch either …

Theories …
I'm AWOL until the tomatoes are planted
I expect to finish getting my heirloom tomatoes planted tomorrow. I am sorry I’ve been AWOL most of the last week. I’m also sorry I thought the “Thrust in the Lord” post was funny — I have vacillated about deleting it but I think it will be better to update it with my apology and …
