A busy day

Gosh, you know it's a big day when you discover 2 new heroes.

The first, proving that you find your heroes in the unlikeliest places, is a Republican politician. Imagine that!

So the story is that Roy McDonald, a Republican State Senator for New York is going to vote for gay marriage.

And he's doing it in style. When pressed, he had this to say on the matter...

"You get to the point where you evolve in your life where everything isn't black and white, good and bad, and you try to do the right thing,

You might not like that. You might be very cynical about that. Well, fuck it, I don't care what you think. I'm trying to do the right thing.

I'm tired of Republican-Democrat politics. They can take the job and shove it."

Honest to God, I actually had a tear in my eye as I typed that.

There is still hope for the world.

And now, to take that hope away, there's a tweet from some dude in today's Metro.

The twittersphere/twatterati/idiots online are all abuzz with a new potential Harry Potter thingy called Pottermore somewhere on that internet. Don't ask me any more than that, I neither know, nor care.

Point being, the Metro, like all lazy news outlets, decide to add colour to their news reporting/fill a few column inches on the cheap with quotes from the man on the street.

but most amusingly,

StuartDP22: 'I hope JK Rowling's "Pottermore" is an online pottery store, not because I like pottery, but because I like millions of disappointed people.'
