			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>On my excursion to the Beverly Center shopping mall today I was reminded that it&#8217;s the most wonderful time of the year.  The multitude of posters on every available wall was prompting me to make my visit to see Santa Claus.  Oh, I&#8217;m not talking about your average everyday jolly and round Santa.  Hell no!  I&#8217;m talking about Hunky Santa!  This year they even have something for the guys with the addition of The Candy Cane Girls.  </p>
<p>Ho Ho Ho!  Leave the kiddies at home.  Only in Hollywierd&#8230;<br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Last night Deutsch and I decided to take part in the march against Prop 8.  </p>
<p><img src="http://www.bloggingcrap.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/img_203-150x150.jpg" alt="The sign we carried" title="The sign we carried" width="150" height="150" class="alignleft size-thumbnail wp-image-213" /></p>
<p>In the last U.S. election, Californians voted to pass Proposition 8.  In short, this Prop bans the right for same-sex marriages.  Now if I have my facts correct, yesterday the Supreme Court ruled to uphold the constitutional amendment banning same-sex marriage and it remains law.  However, the 18,000 couples who married during the Rainbow Window (Same-sex marriage approved by the Supreme Court before the election) last year will remain legally married.  </p>
<p>So yesterday&#8217;s ruling was a lose/win situation.  Congratulations to all the gay and lesbians couples that were married during the Rainbow Window.  To the rest of you that did not drop everything and make a mad dash to the court house to say &#8220;I Do&#8221;&#8230;  I&#8217;m sorry &#8211; you&#8217;re basically screwed.  Until the next election.</p>
<p>Deutsch and I were proud to join the thousands of people who rushed to the streets to stand up for what we believe in, equal rights for all.   </p>
<p>Of course, I&#8217;m sure I am over simplifying the facts and missing crucial information, but this basically sums it up.  <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.latimes.com/la-me-prop8court26-2009may26,0,2238383.story">Here is a good article from the L.A. Times</a> that helps explain.</p>
<p>Here are some pictures we took during the march:</p>
