This ad makes me grin every time I see it.

Speaking of Republicans who understand why Republicans should vote yes on marriage equality (in this case Washington state's R74)...

On the Bachmann visit: because lots more people attend High Holiday services than go every week, a lot of synagogues are busting at the seams on Yom Kippur - at many places, members must sign up in advance for a ticket to attend. It's not generally rigidly restricted to members (my uncle, who didn't belong to a synagogue in his own city, used to go with my mom to hers every year) but still, they like to know in advance how much room they'll need. Given that, I might be a bit incensed if a politician decided at the last minute to take up space, presumably with some reporters and bodyguards, at my shul's services, even if her views weren't dramatically inconflict with my own.

Also, Yom Kippur is a solemn and holy day, not a proper time for politicking by *anyone*. I could accept it at a joyous celebration like Purim or Christmas, but this is more like Ash Wednesday in mood.

Ah Steve Jobs. So ensconsced in your man-ness that it does't occur to you that some of us *have* hands a quarter the size of yours.
