Polling data on free marriage and the Constitution

Andrew Sullivan linked to a PDF file From U Penn’s Annenberg Public Policy Center with recent (like, yesterday) survey data on freedom to marry and a Constitutional amendment:

Would you favor/oppose an amendment to the U.S. Constitution saying that NO state can allow to men to marry each other or two women to marry each other?

( Summary: 41% for, 48% against )

Kevin Drum points out that the proposed amendment has almost no chance of passing:

After all, the ERA had upwards of 90% support when it was first proposed, but it stalled at 35 states even though it also had the advantage of being on the right side of social trends. FMA has much lower levels of support, is clearly on the wrong side of long-term trends toward greater tolerance of gays, and is a highly partisan issue. It's a loser.

Kimota!

From Neil Gaiman’s blog:

You know, if I were Todd McFarlane, I would simply have apologised a long time ago. Instead, Todd threw a lot of money at lawyers, and lost the legal case in every way he could lose it, and then threw a lot more money at lawyers to appeal and just lost it again, for good. [...]

Anyway... it's still full steam ahead now for the Miracleman plans, and now I need to figure out what I want to do with Angela, Cogliostro and Medieval Spawn.
