dear readers,
some satire for you. political commentary a tad tongue in cheek. because, really, where else would your tongue be?
1. far more interesting than the gay marriage story is the lesbian marriage story.
(Del Martin, 87, center left, and Phyllis Lyon, 84, center right, are married by San Francisco Mayor Gavin Newsom , center, in a special ceremony at City Hall in San Francisco, Monday, June 16, 2008.)
2. in a similar story, two stone age forbidden lovers finally said fuck the haters and got hitched:

3. main courthouse in cedar rapids, iowa. talking heads of state continue to deny global warming, recession, and assert justice system is in neither deep, nor hot, water.

4. they say it would take 6 people to replace the one and only him. tim russert, may he rest in peace, shown here wistfully scheming on how to take a fucking break in heaven.

5. hillary clinton gracefully unclenches her hold on the most exciting race for democratic presidential nominee in memory. from a fist to a high-five, clinton pivots to endorse obama. hillary fans assure the national press: “we don’t feel left out in the cold…”

6. “…not when we have our bibles, flags, hi-tech gadgets, and her pretty little cardboard cut outs to keep us warm inside.”

7. senator barack obama and michelle obama, esq, on their wedding day, back when they were the same age.

GLAAD was on their game about the Cali gay marriage situation. They emailed the member list immediately with a very kind request that, basically, everyone not run out and be to ‘gay’ at their gay weddings. It’s clearly to present the most comfortable images for mainstream America; it’s gotten mixed reactions from the community.
Secondly, please read Tim Wise’s hilarious take on the Clinton diehard Middle-America crowd: http://www.thefighting44s.com/archives/2008/06/08/open-letter-to-clinton-supporters-your-whiteness-is-showing/
