"Dayton thanks leaders for 'political courage' before signing gay marriage bill."  -- St. Cloud Times

To me it feels like the equivalent of a golf clap when your brain damaged cat finally figures out that there is a whole REAL world outside the window.  While you know deep down that it's a passing awareness, and soon you'll be working even harder to convince him all over again.

Happiness mixed with aching fatigue and the expectation of more of the same to come.

Leaders.  Words don't mean what they are supposed to mean, any longer.
