Got to be one of my favorite quotes.
Stop bickering about what is and what isn’t, use your common sense, use your head, and use your heart, then go outside and see what needs doing.

Kipper Williams cartoon: Greeks withdraw €3bn in 10 days
And from our live coverage of the crisis in Greece:
$1,000,000,000,000. That’s the cost of a disorderly, badly managed Greek exit from the eurozone, according to the Centre for Economics and Business Research.

"Gay marriage is all about love. The love of same-sex couples is just as real, strong and committed as that of married heterosexual men and women. Prohibiting same-sex marriage devalues and denigrates the love of lesbian and gay partners. It signifies our continuing second class legal status; to have separate laws for gay and straight people is a form of sexual apartheid.
…
Public support for gay marriage is double the support secured by the Tories in last week’s local elections. If Cameron wants to win back lost votes, he should fast-track legislation for equal marriage rights."
As Obama joins a global trend towards gay marriage, the UK should too - Peter Tatchell writes for Comment is Free

Follow-Up of the Day: Reactions to Obama’s Gay Marriage Announcement: The fallout from President Obama’s announcement Wednesday that he backs gay marriage:
- Nationwide polling shows support for gay marriage outweighs opposition, according to genius pollster Nate Silver.
- House Republicans voted to add an amendment to a $51.1 billion spending bill that prohibits the Justice Department from using taxpayer dollars in any future fight against the anti-gay rights Defense of Marriage Act. Which means the Obama administration’s hands are essentially tied as far as opposing DOMA.
- Mitt Romney toed the GOP line: “My view is that marriage itself is between a man and a woman.” He said Wednesday that he still believes states should be able to decide whether to offer certain legal rights to same-sex couples.
- In the first 90 minutes after news of Obama’s position surfaced, spontaneous donations to his campaign totaled $1 million.
- Some argue that Obama’s announcement is BS. “He now believes that gay couples should be able to marry. He doesn’t believe they have a right to do so,” points out Aaron Cook, writing for Gawker.
- Log Cabin Republicans, the gay arm of the GOP, gripes ”that the president has chosen today, when LGBT Americans are mourning the passage of Amendment One, to finally speak up for marriage equality is offensive and callous.”
- Obama breaks his silence on Vice President Biden: ”He probably got out a little bit over his skis.”
- Jon Stewart throws a party on The Daily Show.
- Twitter — predictably — explodes.
