As Matt mentioned earlier, homophobes ruled the day in Maine—but everyone else knows that same-sex marriage is all but a done deal.
Or maybe I'm speaking too soon?
Republicans win two key governor seats in New Jersey and Virginia in a desperate bid to claw their way back to relevance.
Get ready, the House could be voting on the health care overhaul as soon as this weekend—and unsurprisingly, abortion is the current sticking point.
Forbes has put out a list of the Most Toxic Cities in America—and guess who came in at #10? (In our defense, they lumped in Vancouver and Beaverton as well. Thanks a pantload, suburbs!)
Okay, this is disturbing.
A Louisiana judge resigns after refusing to officiate the weddings of interracial couples.
In related hillbilly news, a South Carolina man gets three years in prison for having sex with a horse. People from the South are funny!
And finally, Jon Stewart deftly reminds us why cable news networks (and their election coverage) should be smothered in its sleep.

Well, it isn't entirely their fault, we aren't doing too well on the superfund cleanups in city limits. Maybe it is all those rebates they keep offering on our utility bills that keeps them from collecting enough money. (j/k)
I don't know which report you read, but the one you've linked here puts Portland Metro at #31, not #10.
What a depressing round of news. Yikes. And why did that guy have a skull in a bucket?
There's a skull in the bucket! Dear Eliza! Dear Eliza!
Yo PDXwahine! I see where you're getting confused. The Forbes link lists the "Overall Toxic Cities from Best to Worst" and Portland/Vancouver/Beaverton came in near the bottom at 31, OR the tenth worst. If we were #1 we would be the least toxic.
Another Ducknesday has almost passed by, and still no Duck posts. Damn
