The Mystery Mystery
It's been confirmed that the Jellybean Mystery doesn't ALWAYS work. Which is kind of great, because it illustrates that there isn't anything that MAKES it work, ever. It just usually does.

And oh, by the way...
Pennsylvania became the thirteenth state to have "single gender" marriage yesterday! Late enough that nobody is making a big deal out of it, early enough that we're still breaking ground. It came by judicial fiat, of course; getting it through legislative action would have taken many decades, at the least.... Continue reading
