Unfortunately I read Eriz Zorn’s take on the Massachusett’s Supreme Court Decision declaring a ban on gay marriage unconstitutional so I have to site (ed. that’s cite to your moron) him yet again this week.

He has some excellent coverage of the Illini Mascot issue and especially a full response from Lisa Madigan concerning the Emerald Casino License Settlement, go check it out.

Fair use portions will be posted over the next couple days. The comparison to Tarzan was amazing as was the General’s fine discussion of his member.
