The times, they are a changin'. The California Supreme Court's support of same-sex marriage prompted Ellen DeGeneres' announcement that she and girlfriend Portia de Rossi plan to get hitched, while in Switzerland, the Court of Arbitration for Sport (we assume the name doesn't mean they just argue for the hell of it ) ruled that a double-amputee sprinter from South Africa can compete for a spot on his country's Olympic team.
