(mostly OT) June 17th is not only Barry's birthday this year, but is

.... an historic day for gay marriage.  Barring any legal hurdles, June
17th is the day many gay couples will be able to finally tie the knot
in California.

While I think the timing of this is terrible (an issue like this one
can, as we've all seen before, ruin the Democrats' chance at the White
House in November), I am happy for those members of our gay population
who have waited for this for a long, long time.

Happy birthday Barry!
