Gay marriage compared to box-turtle
marriage in Senate, Daily Show replies 07/19/2004 02:52 AM
In a fit of astonishing lunacy, Texas Senator John Cornyn tried to explain the need to ban gay marriage in the context of the social harm that would accrue from allowing men to marry box turtles ("It does not affect your daily life very much if your neighbor marries a box turtle, but that does not mean it is right...Now you must raise you children up in a world where that union of man and box turtle is on the same legal footing as man and wife"). Jon Stewart's Daily Show segment on this statement is nothing short of brilliant. Let's hope it gets enough airplay to cost Cornyn the election (and possibly get him institutionalized somewhere...).

Another Pro-Hollywood Senate Bill Passed
By Voice Vote

Another Pro-Hollywood Senate Bill Passed
By Voice Vote 06/28/2004 05:22 AM
On Friday, we wrote about how the Senat e slipped in -- by voice vote -- an approval of the PIRATE Act, which would have the government doing the entertainment industry's dirty work for them (with your tax money). It appears that another pro-Hollywood bill was passed in a similar manner at the same time. This one would make it a much bigger crime to record a movie in the theater as well as add more jail time to those caught releasing movies or music before the commercial release of those products. This isn't quite as bad as the California law that could throw people in jail just for bringing a video camera into a theater, but it still seems quite excessive. It's already illegal to do these things. The only reason for this new law appears to be to use an even bigger stick against a crime many people don't think is that big of a deal. Clearly, our politicians are quite out of touch with the people they're supposed to represent -- though, they're still very much in touch with those who line their entertainment industry backers.
