Yeah, that may be so, but my tap deposit will be higher because of increased sanitizing expenses caused by perverts like you.

We see the best in what we love and the worst in what we hate.
People love to hate some companies because they hate that they love them.

Some people are not even willing to try some companies because of their abysmally bad graphic design. I would guess.

I hope that you don't keep a file of these decisions, because that would be really creepy.

All those cases in the advance sheets with names like "In re D.S."? Yeah, don't read those.

I mean, literally, do not read In re D.S. from the Fourth District, Division One in today's advance sheets, because it is pretty fucking typical.

I figured that the blend of ignorance about the bill, victimology and the generic well-protecting-marriage-is-a-good-thing-of-course would end up with the damn thing getting passed. I'm from North Carolina originally, and the whole episode saddens me.
In defense of your home state, which I hear is a fine state indeed, the election was held in conjunction with the primaries and not with the general election, where turnout would have been greater and the result likely different. But you can't push a rope.

Sometimes when playing in the band with the cowboy church (Reba McIntire's sister opened for US last night at the Pittsburg Rodeo; suck it, Reba!), a buffoonish sort who pretends to play Dobro sometimes launches into a song that I understand to be some intended parable on gay marriage. It is all about inviting people down to the farm to show them that roosters don't walk around holding hands and things like that. Thanks to Hank, I've learned that I live in an Area of Great Tolerance where jokes about chaining me to the bumper of a pickup truck for voting for a black president are just folksy hijinks so I'm cool with it.

What puzzles me about the song is that whomever wrote it obviously had not spent much time around animals, much less on a farm. Animals, especially the males, just seem to want to get off. I've had male dogs try to hump my leg, I've seen male dogs try to hump other male dogs, hell, I've seen spayed female dogs trying to hump other spayed female dogs. Fuckshit, I once saw a bull trying to fuck a VW Bug that had been abandoned in a pasture.

Hitler's fault?

we passed a no gays can get married bill here in 2004 and the results were pretty much the same in areas that voted for Bush and areas that voted for JFK by 90%. But on you, delusion looks good.

Re: Stuck on Repeats

If you have any love of sport, watch the last ten minutes of the Manchester City/Queens Park Rangers soccer/futbol match. It'd be helpful if you don't know the outcome, but not necessary. The pan over to Sunderland's stadium afterwards is just an added bonus.

Holy fuck.

2004 is ancient history on this issue.

Heck, Paul Frickin Wellstone voted for DOMA. You think he would still take that position if he was alive today?

for $700 or so I bet this guy could teach me enough string theory buzz words that I can finally close the deal with Eva Silverstein.

No offense to anyone who's married to a cousin, but when I look at a map of all the places where cousins can marry, my first thought isn't "In fairness we have to let gays marry, too." My first thought is "Ew." And that's a terrible thing to make people think in the midst of a debate where the logical position is that other people's sex is almost never your business even when you find it gross.

Posting here because I have confidence if I'm wrong on this, someone will tell me, and my mother-in-law won't have to see me get humiliated.
I think you make perfect sense, but then again, I'm not a bigoted moron.

I think the argument is crafted like that as a way to point out the hypocrisy and bigotry of the people who are so against gay marriage. "All of the arguments you are making against gay marriage apply to your kissin' cousins, so why the fuck (i) haven't you been fighting tooth and nail against that all these years and (ii) would you care about this?" The problem is, small-minded bigots don't give a shit about being hypocritical bigots. They have the ability to be laser-focused on the one argument their pea-sized minds can process at any one time.

I read in some article about how conservatives' brains are different from liberals' that conservatives have a measurably higher sense of revulsion -- about sex, food, bugs, whatever. The idea was that political conservatism is a response to a biological impulse against anything unfamiliar. It cuts against the "homophobes are secretly homosexual" meme, but it's interesting to think about half the population is walking around with an "AW, HELLS NO!" constantly blaring in their heads. And it explains why liberal talk radio will never work. Buncha people calling in to say "I find this perspective fascinating?" Doomed.
