A Republican politician may not even make it to the plane depending on how wide his stance is at the airport john...

I say we start a campaign for a minimum stall width to prevent further misunderstandings.:)

I had no idea about his wife. He was the legal council that came up with many of the interpretations that have convinced Bush he's above the law. It does not bode well for McCain reversing the direction the executive office is taking towards monarchy.

Because she'd point out that it's because of them that the girlfriend hasn't been made a wife.

Really? Because last time I looked most members of congress with a D after their name still oppose gay marriage.

Both Obama and Clinton are on record against it.

They all say that civil unions are good enough (though apparently Congress itself doesn't recognize them for purposes of defining "family").

Word

Reading above, it seems it's the average democrat and average republican that are the problem.

Or else our perception of same.

No... it's the actual politicians.

Oh, and PS, by the way...Mississippi thanks you for all the tax dollars we received. Citizens Against Government Waste said we were something like number 5 this year in funds received per capita. It's almost like that Thad Cochran can slip an earmark into a signed bill. He's just amazing, isn't he? We love the new stop signs.

You'll have to excuse me. My cheek is bleeding and if I don't stop grinding my teeth I'm gonna pop a molar.

Aren't you a bit old and white to be saying "word"?

Just saw Obama on Hardball and they were at Westchester University and a student asked his position on gay marriage.

He quite bluntly said he was against it. But that civil unions should have all the same legal advantages as marriage. So I'd have liked to hear his explanation of the distinction but they moved on.

Nah, lazy

Quicker than typing visible mojo

but none the less, guilty on both counts.
