Scanning the various ballot measures listed by CNN, it turns out that Arkansas has a ballot initiative to prevent adoptions or fostering by unmarried couples - straight or gay. Glad to know they consider me an evil sinner too!

Memesheepage: First lines of songs

Occurred to me that despite the many iterations of this meme, I'd never actually done it. Well, been listening to music all day while doing laundry, so I figured it was about time I did it.

Put your music on shuffle, post the first line of the first ten songs that come up. Well, I'm posting the first line of the last ten songs that I played without skipping. If the first line contains the song title, put the next line that doesn't. If it's instrumental, skip it. Everyone else comment w/ the song names and titles - don't use teh intartubes, just your memory.

10) Just a castaway, an island lost at sea, oh - "Message in a Bottle" by The Police (the particular version I was listening to was a live version by Sting), jrtom
9) All of my purple life I've been looking for a dame
8) ...It seems to leave this troubled world behind
7) All the fear has left me now, I'm not frightened anymore - "Fumbling Towards Ecstasy" by Sarah McLachlan, jrtom
6) Blue jean baby, LA lady, seamstress for the band - "Tiny Dancer" by Elton John, jrtom
5) The strands in your eyes that color them wonderful stop me and steal my breath - "I'll Be" by Edwin McCain, best_ken_ever
4) I miss you confuse you make it easy - "Satisfy" by Guitar Vader, oh_chris

Earlier today I found myself wondering why everyone was calling this election a historic one.

...

And then I remembered that Obama's black.

And for the next year they're going to be talking about the first black US President.

And then the year after, or maybe the one after that, we'll have forgotten it, and it will be a non-issue for everyone else too.

Then we'll truly be living in the future.
