— Ruling May Revive Gay Marriage as Issue - New York Times ¶“This year, the decision in California could at the very least have resonance with socially conservative voters in places like Ohio and Pennsylvania. Even if Mr. McCain does not wield it as part of his fall campaign — and his political associates said he almost certainly would not — history suggests that independent conservative advocacy groups would seize on the ruling to try to define Mr. Obama and his party as culturally out-of-step. Presumably, it is just a matter of time until voters across the country see advertisements including same-sex couples taking their vows on the steps of San Francisco City Hall.”

— Albert Einstein, Belief in God 'childish,' Jews not chosen people: Einstein letter - Yahoo!

— Injured Horses You Didnt See - The Rail - Sports - New York Times Blog ¶“There were 15 horses at 39 North American tracks who failed to finish a race Saturday. Nine of them were reported to have been so injured or unsound that they had to be vanned off the track in an equine ambulance. Although the official result charts published online by Daily Racing Form do not provide any veterinary commentary beyond “broke down,” “pulled up,” or “went wrong,” a gut feeling based on racetrack experience leads me to presume that some of those stricken animals met the same beyond-hope fate as Eight Belles, and required euthanasia.”

— Bill Simmons, ESPN Page 2 - Some old emotions are Bruin ¶“There are so many things that separate hockey from other sports – good and bad – but no other sport makes you constantly think, “Uh-oh, this is good” or “Uh-oh, this is bad.” Every minute of playoff hockey brings another potential scoring chance, another potential screw-up or tipped shot, another shot off the goal post, another three-on-two rush. For the fans, it’s an exhausting experience, a constant battle between “Uh-oh, this is good” and “Uh-oh, this is bad” and by the end of the games, you’re just a puddle.”
