smith-rubio family xmas update, 9th annual edition

I feel a bit odd writing this today … DADT has been repealed, which is great news, and the DREAM Act has been shot down, which is not great news (one day, some historian will write a book about the last two years and call it Win Some, Lose Some).

Merry Xmas. Seriously.
