ELEVEN DAYS
after its passage,
demonstrators around the country
protest
California's
Proposition 8.
The amendment to the state constitution cancels the
ruling
of the California Supreme Court that

Week of November 10 BARACK takes it! With a 365-173 win in the electoral vote and 57 states, the Obamas and a puppy are heading to the White House. All those attacks and harsh words from the long campaign are forgiven and forgotten.
