"There is no such thing as Rogerian Hypnosis. There are no scripts." While I would agree…

Kudos to the District of Columbia for the unanimous then near-unanimous council vote in favor of recognizing gay marriages consummated in other states (http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2009/05/05/AR2009050501618.html). The rule now goes to the mayor. Unanimous and then near-unanimous, you ask. Well, the vote was unanimous but then later Marion Barry said that he hadn't realized what he was…
