Very brief weekend briefs.

PINKO DAILY BRIEFS.
So the guitarist Slash and his wife support gay marriage. How, then, could No on Prop 8 fail! We have been getting some interesting comments and reactions to this. It's crazy "on the ground" here in California too, where the Chronicle yesterday ran a map of the zip codes in San Francisco that were for and against gay marriage. Basically it broke down to something overly simplistic: non-white people are religious. Religious people hate gays. Gays can't get married. There is a lot more going on here than that; we'll be blogging on the topic this weekend.
I'm headed in for day two of the Green Festival today, and if I can find the time I'm planning a special "gay marry it ... or abort it" with products that are either doomed or genius. There is a lot of doomed schwag at the conference (omg I saw the wildest organic underwear!) but also some real innovation. Also today,
Barack Obama is unveiling his first Youtube "Fireside Chat." It's wonky! It's a little boring! We love it.
Lastly, sorry for fewer links than usual. The wireless in my hotel is like, not even wireless I think. There is a bellhop with a tin can and a string in my closet. I'll add more later. The internet, after all, is a series of tubes. Oh! Ted Stevens is now down well over 1000 votes ...

Interesting that the turnout for Obama also doomed gay marriage in Cali. 50% of whites, asians and hispanics voted for or against Prop 8. 70% of blacks voted for it.
This is the exit polls, folks. Don’t shoot the messenger.
Yep. 50% of whites voted for prop 8… Disgraceful.
Also, the yes on prop 8 people did one hell of a job with their misinformation campaign.
