BEST WTF? QUOTE AT 3/04 BOARD OF SUPES MEETING:
"This issue is certainly a Sticky Wicket kind of an issue because of the Doe Ray Me."
-Supervisor McGoldrick's opening remarks on the wheelchair ramp debate. I shit you not. (Go to agenda item 8.)
BEST ARGUMENT FOR GAY MARRIAGE:
Yesterday, I watched the oral arguments about gay marriage at the State Supreme Court. And I must say that the legal talent displayed by Chief Deputy City Attorney Therese Stewart made my heart skip a beat. That I wouldn't be able to marry her myself is the best example of why a ruling against SF would be tragically wrong. When asked about the evolving nature of Constitutional equal protection...
Judge Werdegar: "Why is this the moment of truth as opposed to 10 years from now?"
Stewart: "We're here today."
Indeed, you were Ms. Stewart. And you fucking rocked it.
--Melissa
(Note: My friend Brian sent her an email asking if she would be friends with us. No word on that yet. Maybe just facebook?)
This is quite possibly the most intelligent thing McGoldrick has said in I don't know how many years on the Board. And by the way, it's spelled "Do Re Me". Dust off your copy of Sound of Music and listen to the song again.

I haven't heard back from my new fantasy crush, Therese Stewart. She must think I'm a stalker. Which I am, but in a good way. Right? RIGHT?!!
Usually I stalk only witty and irreverent bloggers. But I'm expanding my scope to include super-intelligent lawyers. (SweetMel falls into both categories, so . . . watch out.)

Sweet Melissa, I'm surprised that you haven't said much about the $1M ramp...(or is that coming?!!) Maybe the Supes should have contacted 'ole C.C.Meyers - to be completed under budget, and of course in record time...On second thought, if it takes them 1.5 years to complete, would it mean that the Supes would adjourn til the new sound system and ramp are completed?! Maybe it's worth $1M after all!!!
