Tonight I had this whole idea worked up where I was gonna talk about how stupid it is when legislation is reactionary. I was gonna point out that just because something is the hot topic of the day doesn't necessarily mean that today is the best time to enact a bunch of new laws. I'd comment that sometimes it's best to stop and think about the bigger picture because if we don't, we end up with things like The PATRIOT Act or The PATRIOT Act II.

The driver was that I had this joke about how dumb it is that Pawlenty is all revved up to reinstate the death penalty for gay people who try and get married. I thought it was pretty funny.

When I told it to Libby, she goes, "It's ok. I didn't laugh out loud or anything."

Ouch. Guess I'll skip it, then.
