Dennis Herrera blasted the oddly-titled Campaign for California Families today for their latest, useless court of appeal tactic to get the gays to stop all of this damn marriage nonsense. The CCF, it seems, filed with the California Court of Appeal another benign motion to stay the California Supreme Court's May 15 decision to let the queers wed.

The Sapphic set will be the first to get legally married (and, believe us, the first to get legal divorce after divorce after divorce) in San Francisco. Longtime queer activists Del Martin (87) and Phyllis Lyon (84), who were first wed in San Francisco in 2004, will re-enact their ceremony as soon as gay marriage becomes legal in California at 5 p.m. on June 16. Gavin Newsom will, once again, officiate their ceremony. But......

The 10 attorneys general who has asked the California Supreme Court for a delay in their decision to let the gay marry until after November has been denied.

it seems like every other hour there's a new same-sex marriage angle on the local news. Today, we have two big homosexual wedded bliss items that Gay Town is eating up. (Oh wait, our mistake -- THIS is Gay town.) First, a fresh new poll now finds that a small majority of Californians now believe same-sex couples should be able to marry....

It seems every queer we've ever come across in our lifetime has clogged your Editor's inbox this weekend with the following urgent request to call Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger. It seems we need to vocalize our support (again) for same-sex marriage. Why? Because the National Back of the Bus Organization have been calling the Gov in droves to voice their hysterical Elizabeth Hasselbeckness over the ruling. And we need you to tell him otherwise (and......

Nature lovers will be peeved. Under the budget proposed by Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger today - dear God, just how did we get here? starting off a sentence like that? - nine local state parks would face a temporary shutdown until California learns how to balance its checkbook, pay its bills on time, stops disrespecting their mommas on Maury, or something like that.

We admit it, it's been a slow couple of weeks here at SchwartzenWatcher HQ. Nothing much has been going on as the Governator has been pretty quiet lately being all wonky and acting all Governor-like. But then, like manna from heaven, we get word that after a few days in D.C. schmoozing with other Governors and enjoying the fact that the Chinese control our ports and not a bunch of A-rabs, we discover that from there, Arnie is off to Columbus for the Arnold Fitness Expo and Arnold Classic. And kicking things off will be a pay-per-view Mixed Martial Arts Championship, the Gracie Fighting Championships actually, one that will be have as it's master of ceremonies our Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger. Our Governor is SO not like your Governor. ...
