Thanks for the Gumball, Dubya!

The man is just dumb. Politically dumb in the bigger-picture view, I mean. His push for a Constitutional Amendent which would limit me to nothing but sham marriages is the result of a few years of bottoming for the Pharisees in the Marketplace. And now they demand their due.

Never climb in bed with a Control-Crazy Christian, George. If you want a serious Control Top, try Dick Cheney (ask Mary), or just buy some pantyhose.

Seriously.

W did something lovely for us, in a way not seen in a few years ("Dr. Laura"), at a magnitude not seen in almost 30 years, if ever (Anita Bryant). And this time, it's not just some shrill self-limiting, self-esteem-lacking shrew (ok, well, it is), it's the United States Constitution, chil'ren!

Most ideological infighting has disappeared on this issue; the overwhelming majority of current Democrats (I say current because I expect some conservative Demo's to jump ship) and a not insignificant section of the Republicans (those who actually always did want libertarianism through smaller government) are united against the notion of a Constitutional Amendment barring same-sex marriages. This is not surprising to me, and that surprises me.

Upping the abstraction level for unification feels damn good.

And if any of you lefty liberals out there do anything short of welcoming the Log Cabin Republicans, Andrew Sullivan and that ilk with open arms and without bitterness or smug self-superiority, I swear to god (of biscuits) I will hunt you down and hurt you.

Seriously. Don't fuck this up.

And in case you're wondering why Governor Schwarzenegger is so anti-gay on this whole thing, being part of Hollywood as he is, just look to Orrin Hatch et al's Bill trying to change things so that you no longer have to be born in this country to be President.

Those LCRs out there, Andrew Sullivan (who's looking damn good on TV), let's just fucking do this thing. All of us is what it's going to take.
