A ban against same sex marriage was overturned Thursday by a California court in — where else — San Francisco. Personally I think the same sex marriage ban is problematic. I think legislators would have better luck with a ban against “no sex” marriage. If you get married you have to have sex. It’s the law.

As to the same sex situation, I don’t think the legislators or the court has gone far enough.

Same sex Boys

Same sex Girls

A fairly rational argument against same sex marriage can be found on the slippery slope, i.e., if we change marriage to mean the joining of two men or two women, why not a woman and a horse, or a man and a donkey?

March 20, 2008. From Senator Obama: “Look, I got two daughters — 9 years old and 6 years old. I am going to teach them first about values and morals, but if they make a mistake, I don’t want them punished with a baby. I don’t’ want them punished …. With an STD.”

That’s punished with a baby, conception as a mistake.

The blogs and talk radio were all over the remark, of course, but it’s an indication of how protective the national media is of their chosen candidate that this disturbing comment went mostly unnoticed by them. After the initial outrage, nothing in the past two weeks. If words matter, as Obama has famously said, then “punished with a baby” should matter.

Where Man Is King

In Wellington, New Zealand, a deranged, runaway SUV, unhappy with life, distraught and humiliated by criticism of its appetite and size, and unable to afford therapy because of the high price of gasoline, went berserk and crashed itself into a man’s most hallowed space — his toilet.

While he was on it!

This is a violation too far, this unwarranted attack on a man’s sacred place, the Mecca of his personal life, where he reads the sports pages and contemplates the lousy day awaiting him while experiencing the blessed relief of elimination. Nowhere else in the world does such a place exist. Only in the man’s toilet, on his throne.

The question is basic chicken or the egg. Does contemporary leftism make one a wimp or are natural born wimps naturally attracted to contemporary leftism?

Bertram “Jimmy” James

I got to wondering about this when reading about the death a few weeks ago in Great Britain of RAF Squadron Leader Bertram James, who had been shot down by the Luftwaffe in June 1940 and subsequently captured by the Germans. During his five year imprisonment, James (called “Jimmy”) tried to escape thirteen times from a number of different stalags.

There’s been a big flap in Ohio because an Ohio radio talk show guy named Bill Cunningham emceed a John McCain rally and several times referred to Senator Obama using his full name, Barack Hussein Obama.

The Democrat base and their far left, loony, socialist-leaning, uber liberal, redistribute-the-wealth friends got their shorts in a twist. Somehow, using Barack Hussein Obama’s middle name gave them a huge wedgie and they didn’t like it.

Why not? It’s his name. On his birth certificate. Why shouldn’t anyone be allowed to use it?

I’m being naive. Of course we know why — because it’s the same name as the brutal dictator we overthrew in Iraq and it’s a Muslim name. In case anyone hasn’t heard, a small but significant percentage of the Muslim population wants to destroy us. The Obama supporters are rightly defensive about the middle name “Hussein.” In today’s poltical climate, I’d be defensive about it, too.

There’s a website called Liberal Scum and while I realize the political atmosphere has become extremely toxic, the expression Liberal Scum does give one pause.

Personally, I wouldn’t have been so complimentary.

Bush Derangement Syndrome and the Liberal cornucopia of hate is always striving to reach new heights of depthness. There must be a word out there for that particular depravity and I’m looking under rocks and bottoms of garbage containers to find it.

MoveOn’s General Betrayus ad was one of the more recent examples of their “scummy” challenges to the President and his policies. Harry Reid calling the President “a loser” to a civics class is another. But these examples were bottomed out recently by prominent Democrat, Paul Begala, on CNN, who responded to a Wolf Blitzer question about the election by saying that in some states President Bush polls lower than venereal diseases. And they say that the right is filled with hate.

After listening to both Republican and Democrat debates, and being unsatisfied with their answers on the budget, the deficit and government spending, I’d like to urge an embrace of Islam.

Most Americans are suspicious of Islam in general and Muslims in particular, giving them wide berth on the streets and evacuating planes in a jiffy when two or three of them enter the jet’s cabin en masse.

But if used wisely, Muslims could lower our spiraling budget crisis, which is why they should be encouraged to run for public office at all levels and then elected.

In a sacrificial gesture to save the planet, Marilou Rotinsky of Berkeley, California, a luggage psychic, underwent surgery last week to have her anus and vagina sewn shut so that her natural bodily waste products wouldn’t contaminate the earth. “I am supporting the environmental movement by eliminating my own movements,” Ms. Rotinsky said ironically, managing a small smile though in considerable pain from the digested food accumulating inside her one hundred twenty pound body.

Ms. Rotinsky was inspired by Toni Vernelli, an Englishwoman who had herself sterilized to protect the planet. In a London Daily Mail article, Ms. Vernelli is quoted as saying that “Having children is selfish. It’s all about maintaining your genetic line at the expense of the planet. Every person who is born uses more food, more water, more land, more fossil fuels, more trees and produces more rubbish, more pollution, more greenhouse gases, and adds to the problem of over-population.”

The famous question seventeen-year old Laetitia Thompson offered Bill Clinton on the Washington D.C. set of MTV’s Rock the Vote during the 1992 presidential campaign should never have been answered. She asked, “All the world’s dying to know — boxers or briefs?”

I doubt the world was really dying to know. The question was chosen to titillate and to draw attention to Ms. Thompson. We weren’t aware at the time how obsessed Clinton was with what goes on below his belt so instead of ignoring her with a polite “Thank you, next question,” he gave the moment traction and answered, “usually briefs.”

Thus the trivialization of the process began, demeaning the presidency to a degree Bill himself exceeded with Monica Lewinsky. If Monica ever runs for office might we expect an MTVer to ask, “All the world’s dying to know — circumcised or not circumcised?

My wife is preparing to take the GRE in order to pursue a masters degree. Looking over her shoulder one afternoon, I saw her practicing analogy questions. GRE analogies are designed to test your knowledge of word definitions and your ability to understand the relationship between a pair of words. You are then asked to match that relationship to a pair of different words with a similar relationship. Analogies come in various sizes, shapes and types:
