Star Magazine is reporting that Jennifer Aniston is pregnant with...what else? TWINS! The battle of the dueling uteri lives on! Ok, it's Star so I'll hold off on buying a gift but wouldn't it be great if it were true?...
But even moreso, change for the way we see things on TV. Here is singer will.i.am being beamed into the CNN studio via hologram last night. Very cool!

Congratulations to President-elect Barack Obama! It's definitely a bittersweet day for many as it appears that Proposition 8 in California may pass. I think Prop 8 is about fear more than hate but either way, I just don't understand it. I'm straight and married...my anniversary is today actually. Why shouldn't anyone else, gay or straight, be entitled to forget celebrate their wedding anniversary as well? It doesn't affect me or my life...if love and happiness are the goals, why fight against that? Seriously...don't we have bigger issues at hand? />Congratulations to President-elect Barack Obama! It's definitely a bittersweet day for many as it appears that Proposition 8 in California may pass. I think Prop 8 is about fear more than hate but either way, I just don't understand it. I'm straight and married...my anniversary is today actually. Why shouldn't anyone else, gay or straight, be entitled to forget celebrate their wedding anniversary as well? It doesn't affect me or my life...if love and happiness are the goals, w...
With 95% of precincts reporting, Al Franken trails his opponent in the Minnesota Senate race by less than 1500 votes.
Oh, and recently convicted felon Ted Stevens? Is winning his Senate race in Alaska. Ha. />...
On Tuesday, Massachussetts passed a ballot initiative decriminalizing marijuana. The new law will "replace the criminal penalties for possession of one ounce or less of marijuana with a new system of civil penalties, to be enforced by issuing citations, and would exclude information regarding this civil offense from the state's criminal record information system. Offenders age 18 or older would be subject to forfeiture of the marijuana plus a civil penalty of $100. Offenders under the age of 18 would be subject to the same forfeiture and, if they complete a drug awareness program within one year of the offense, the same $100 penalty."
Massachussetts also passed a law banning dog racing.

From Grant Park in Chicago.
Tonight, we saw two exceptional and patriotic speeches from two exceptional and patriotic men.
And, while I'm proud of the progress our country has made and I'm proud that we elected a Black President, I think that the results of some of the ballot measures across the nations -- particularly those dealing with gay rights -- make it painfully clear that we have not reached the dream of equal rights on which this country was founded. We still have pockets of senseless hate oozing their way into legislation. I'm hopeful in the sense that the votes in favor of Prop 8 are coming more from old people than from young people. Hurry up and die, you hateful old buffoons, so that my children can be raised in a country free of legislated hate and senseless discrimination. />

South Dakota voters SAID NO to a measure that would have prohibited abortion except in cases of rape or incest, or when the mother's life is in danger.
Colorado voters rejected Amendment 48, which would have defined the term "person" to include any human being from the moment of fertilization, again, essentially making abortion illegal.

The former SNL comedian is still in a tight race for a Minnesota Senate seat. Franken, a Democrat, was up earlier in the night, but now he's down, with the vote 43% for his opponent, 41% for him, with 72% of precincts reporting. It's too close to call right now. />...

I'm sorry to be a buzz-kill right now, but Prop 8 looks like it's going to pass.
Very disappointing, California.
Why the hate? />...
