Cheers and Jeers---Special Gay Marriage Amendment edition
JEERS to civil marriage. It has officially been hijacked by the Christian Evangelicals. Even the Elvises in Vegas are nervous.
JEERS to George W. Bush. First United States President to demand that an entire class of people--millions of them--be designated second class citizens in the U.S. Constitution. If he was given a 5th grade quiz on the document, does anybody doubt for a second that he'd fail?
CHEERS to the U.S. Constitution. It's strong enough---and important enough---to resist this ham-handed amendment. But blotting up the right-wingers' frothy spittle will be delicate work.
JEERS to waffles. I used to love `em on Sunday morning with butter and syrup. Now they'll always remind me of Democratic response to the amendment.
CHEERS to Britney marriage/divorce. Perfectly legal. We have no complaints. God Bless.
JEERS to separation of church and state. You'll find the obituary on page 9a.
CHEERS to the clock. The longer this thing takes, the more support will erode.
JEERS to sore feet. We can still get kicked out of work. Kicked out of our apartment. Kicked out of a hotel. Kicked around as a political football. Kicked out of the family. Kicked out of church. Kicked out of the Boy Scouts. Kicked out of child custody. And now they're kicking us out of the Constitution. You silly gooses...are you trying to tell us something?
CHEERS to real allies. The individuals and organizations who don't fall for the Chicken Little bulls**t. Thank you.
JEERS to the media. How will they manage to screw this issue into the dirt? Let us count the ways.
CHEERS to flag burning amendment. Hell, might as well throw that in, too.
