If Obama’s announcement that he supports same-sex marriage is a direct link to some horrible Romney victory in November, I will pack my bags and move to a country that understands the concept of civil rights. But I’ll wait until my new apartment lease is up. No need to be dramatic.

Something is happening the world of The West Wing today.
Josh Malina and Dule Hill joked on Twitter that it’s a movie. But come on. Hmmm.
Update: Turns out they’re at the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library…allegedly shooting a Funnyordie sketch.

When you have men and women together in combat, I think men have emotions when you see a woman in harm’s way. I think it’s something that’s natural that’s very much in our culture to be protective. That was my concern, and I think that’s a concern with all the military.
GOP presidential candidate Rick Santorum • Suggesting, to TODAY’s Ann Curry, that women should not serve on the front lines of military combat. He was careful to qualify his statement, saying that he didn’t believe women themselves were incapable of such combat, but that men in the unit would feel protective and be distracted from their mission by female comrades being “injured” or “vulnerable.” Of course, even if his opinion were true, it begs the question; how is that a problem that women should pay for? What he’s claiming sounds less like women being unfit to serve in combat than male soldiers eschewing their duty for some vision of a “damsel-in-distress” story playing out during a firefight. This is classic, culture-war Santorum. source (via • follow)

Vice President Biden exchanged tweets with a fictional character on Thursday.
A Twitter user identified as Joshua Lyman, “Chief of Staff, Dark Prince of American Politics and 101st Senator,” sent Biden a question during a White House question-and-answer session, and the vice president replied personally.
Joshua Lyman is a fictional character played by Bradley Whitford as the deputy chief of staff to the president on the NBC drama “The West Wing,” which ran 1999-2006. The Lyman twitter account is not formally affiliated with the television show.
The faux Lyman tweeted: “Does President Obama’s proposal to keep kids in High School until 18 include an opt out for kids who want to get a GED? #whchat”
Biden tweeted: “Yes, until 18 or graduation — includes GED. But staying in school increases earning power. -vp #whchat #bestidea”
