Update on that Louisiana JP who refused to marry an interracial couple - he's resigned. Plus, they're taking him to court. If there are other petty dictators in public office round the nation, I hope they're taking note.

(You always hope a story like this is a freak event. But something Aboriginal activist Sam Watson said recently got me thinking - he described racism in Australia as "endemic". That makes it like measles or something - it's always around, even when there's no visible rash.)
