She never begins an attack, nor, when once engaged, ever surrenders: She is therefore an emblem of magnanimity and true courage. ... she never wounds 'till she has generously given notice, even to her enemy, and cautioned him against the danger of treading on her.

You Don't Believe That

So, there's apparently a great deal of attention on the State of New York, USA. In a shocking turn of events, the state passed a law legalizing marriage to same-sex couples.

Well, shit. Now my marriage isn't sacred [/sarcasm].

Frankly, I'm shocked that giving more that two shits or a fuck about individual rights happened in NY at all. NY is right up there in the Royal Family of Nanny States, alongside such brilliant deathplaces of freedom US states as California and Massachusetts. Someone tell Rick Perry. He's letting folks float the "L" word in describing him (no, not lesbian, however apropos; I was referring to "libertarian") and I can't figure out why. Sure, you can carry a gun in TX - he does - but we'll be damned if a dude can suck another...

Suffice to say we all know where that was going. *ahem* Anyhoo. It took the 5th Circuit Court of Appeals to get dildos legalized here. Seeing the pattern yet? All politicians wanna shit on your rights. It's just a matter of what order they do it in.

So, it didn't take too long before The Enlightened One chimed vicariously in on the whole gay marriage thing. By way of a White House Spokesman, we heard all about how Ă˜bama believes same-sex couples are entitled to the same rights and privileges as everyone else. We even go this gem of a quote:

The states should determine for themselves how best to uphold the rights of their own citizens.


Lolwut?!? Y'all pay attention, 'cause I'm only gonna say this one (on this post, anyway): Barack Obama does not believe that statement. Not even a little bit. He probably figures it's okay, though. Neither did Dubya.

Feel free to drop a line. You don't have to keep it clean - God knows, I won't - but keep it above the belt.
