Los Angeles Times - WASHINGTON — If Phil Burress has his way, Ohio will be a battleground this fall for more than just the presidential candidates.

Gay marriage compared to box-turtle

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...).

If I were John Kerry, here's what I'd say about the gay marriage amendment in a debate: There he goes again. George Bush — the uniter, not the divider — is using this issue as a wedge to drive Americans apart by making this complex question of morality, religion, states rights, and love into a simple yes-no, "you're either with us or against us." Americans are smarter than that, Mr. President. We can handle tough questions in all their complexity. And, frankly, it's a failure of leadership and of vision that you can only see things in black and...

Same Sex Marriage in MA, Part 2

Same Sex Marriage in MA, Part 2 05/17/2004 10:30 AM
A flautist and violinist played Baroque duets ("Music courtesy of the Brookline Music School") in the front corner of the lobby of the Brookline Town Hall. "Let me get rid of that for you," said a woman wearing an orange GLAD t-shirt, taking an orange rind from the tiny hand of a four year old on the shoulder of one of his fathers. GLAD was there to hand out roses, serve pastries, and applaud. There were no crowds of anonymous well-wishers, unlike last night's festival in Cambridge, just clusters of couples with their family and best friends. Terry, the mother...

Love and Marriage

Love and Marriage 01/07/2004 04:23 PM

Made it back from Mexico City this afternoon.  The only unhappy event during the trip was finishing reading the massive Pe loponnesian War and failing to find a good English bookstore.  I ended up settling for an Agatha Christie novel: Lord Edgware Dies (1933).  A married Peruvian woman sitting next to me disagreed with this discourse by Hercule Poirot, bachelor detective:

"Often I have observed that it is a great misfortune for a man to have a wife who loves him.  She creates the scenes of jealousy, she makes him look ridiculous, she insists on having all his time and attention.  Ah!  non!  it is not the bed of roses."

And combining the earlier themes of MIT students and ghetto humor, this just in from a 6.171 student...

"Yo Mama so stupid, she took a rigid body mechanics class because she wanted to meet hot guys."

(We will leave this contributor anonymous so that the MIT administration does not begin disciplinary proceedings...)

Gay marriage satire

Gay marriage satire 07/27/2004 01:18 PM
The Fafblog continues its reign as the funniest political satire blog on the Net with today's post about gay marriage in the form of a mock-interview with the Family Research Council's Dr. James Dobson:

[JD]: The legality of gay marriage sent out powerful shockwaves of destructive gay energy throughout hetereosexuality. Without an amendment to the constitution specifically barring homosexuals from obtaining marriage rights, this destructive Gay Force rampaged throughout the Traditional Family Nexus, corrupting it and turning thousands of upright, decent, missionary-position-loving straight couples into deranged, out-of-control mutant gay perverts.

FB: This is horrible! What in your scientific opinion as a doctor can we do to stop this?

JD: Well, humanity's only hope at this point lies in the Marriage Protection Act, which would strip federal courts of the ability to review the constitutionality of the Defense of Marriage Act. That way if the draconian anti-gay laws we need turn out to be unconstitutional, we'll never know, because the courts won't be able to stop them.
