You know I am so sick of these liberal activist judges, imposing their "east coast" values, inspired by Hollyweird and Barbara Streisand, why don't they go back to their Ivory Towers and have lunch with Teddy Kennedy and Ward Churchill all day already.
Wait a minute -- Iowa?
The Iowa Supreme Court announced its ruling in a landmark same-sex marriage case Friday morning. Read Court's Ruling On Same-Sex Marriage (pdf)Doesn't anyone know the history of civil rights movements in America?The justices ruled unanimously in favor of six same-sex couples who sought to get marriage licenses, but were denied.
The 69 page ruling means same-sex couples in Iowa can now get married under state law. The ruling said that the Iowa statute limiting civil marriage to a union between a man and a woman violates the equal protection clause of the Iowa Constitution.
The decision strikes the language from Iowa Code section 595.2 limiting civil marriage to a man and a woman. It further directs that the remaining statutory language be interpreted and applied in a manner allowing gay and lesbian people full access to the institution of civil marriage.
Same-sex couples will be allowed to get married under Iowa law in 21 days.
Come on Florida, what are we waiting for?

Elmo, Jiminy Cricket and Teletubbies. You disappoint me SFL. I was hoping for Sponge Bob.
That's the gay one, right?
I thought pink was the gay one?
Did I read that correctly-- he was awared $1.00?
11:00, Sponge Bob gay?
11:03- "Tinky Winky's handbag is the wrong colour. Purple not pink is gay."
A negligence construction lawsuit involving the Continuum condo project in Miami Beach has had defendants added and the Classic Residence by Hyatt facility in Aventura is at the center of possibly the biggest construction litigation in South Florida.
Shumie Time, who will call it first?
Your best post to date SFL, not including your Friday "health" posts.
Massachusetts and Connecticut and now Iowa. Come on Florida.
@11:00, What about Bert&Ernie?
How does SFL do it? The pictures he selects fit like a glove to his posts.
Thanks SFL, but the big story on gay marriage this week is in Vermont where for the first time it has been approved by the legislature, rather than demanded by the courts. Now all we need is for Governor Douglas to sign it into law.
But I thought we already had gay marriage here in Florida. I mean Governor Crist is gay and he's married, right? Oh yea, to a woman. Never mind.
"If I can't marry my boyfriend, I'll marry your daughter."
I like Berts' sweater.
Good to know you are staying on topic 11:19. You should fit right in our club.
guess bad judging is spreading 'round the country.
11:56, not "demanded by the courts" but by the Iowa Constitution.
If the scandal is true what would Mr. Bush say, hmm?
The Vermont legislation referred to by 11:56 is here:

If passed, there will surely be a constitutional challenge, so it's no done deal yet.

An advertisement on billboards and TV for weeks that showed a mountain and an exclamation that "A Mountain is coming to Miami" that had us wondering where it would be. It turned out that the ad was for Folger's Coffee (mountain grown) that was being introduced to area supermarkets.

Does anyone remember a late night club named Mr. T's? Lots of Dolphins hung out there- I think that was the name. Also, a steakhouse with the biggest steaks ever- T-Bone Charley's (?) where if a guy wore a tie, they would cut it off and hang it on the wall? The Mechandise Mart- Rhodes Brothers show?

Plus, we would sneak friends in, in the truck of our cars during high school. Lots of memories of this place. The last movie was shown in December1987 and was Stake Out
I loved going to the flea markets, what great memories in the early 70s'.I think as a kid I remember walking out of there and inhaling the helium from the balloons, I remember the homemade roach clips and the incense that used to be sold there, tropical park across the st. when horse racing was there. What fun to remember these good times.
