Last week I threw myself a birthday party. Yeah, I still do that kind of thing. I decided to make some cupcakes for the occasion and definitely wanted to blow out 32 candles, so I went ahead and purchased a box of those too. There were several kinds to choose from, so naturally I selected the ones labeled as “Magic”…not really considering what magic might mean, but in my opinion, magic is always a good thing. After the lighting ceremony, I went to blow out the candles and…low and behold, the candles all re-lit themselves. Nice. I bought myself “magic” trick candles…I guess there’s some magic in that.

North Carolinians who voted for Amendment One, you should be ashamed of yourselves. Keep fighting, friends.
