So remember my post about the Illinois bill that would place a sweeping ban on social networking sites in schools and libraries?

Turns out that the state senator who sposored it, Matt Murphy, has a blog. Which is on Blogger. Which is one of the sites that would be blocked if this bill passes.

Maybe he hasn't quite thought that one through....

I was walking by a classroom to make some tea and overheard one of the Medical Assisting instructors giving a lecture. The topic was on proper office management procedures, and she was telling the students about the importance of doing inventory, keeping track of what items are running low, not running out of key supplies, and so forth.

Then I went into the employee breakroom and used the last sugar packet.

Ahem.

Edit: Another class is doing CPR training. Overheard from that side of the building:

"Everybody grab a baby. Make sure not to break their arms and legs off."

My last election spam of the day, I promise. But this was too good to pass up. Read literally, the anti-same sex marriage amendment to the Texas constitution may invalidate all marriage.

Here's the exact text of the law:

SECTION 1. Article I, Texas Constitution, is amended by adding Section 32 to read as follows:
Sec. 32. (a) Marriage in this state shall consist only of the union of one man and one woman.
(b) This state or a political subdivision of this state may not create or recognize any legal status identical or similar to marriage.

There you have it. Because "any legal status identical... to marriage" sounds an awful lot like marriage to me....
