Phew!

I'm so glad the President has come out in favor of a federal constitutional amendment to prevent same-sex marriage, because otherwise heterosexual couples will stop getting married and having children and human society will end.

I'm sure most of my straight, child-rearing friends have been tempted to start having long-term committed same-sex relationships for procreationless sex, and ignore their own biological urges to mate and reproduce. This constitutional amendment will make sure everybody really knows that's not OK to do. So society will survive and marriage will be saved. No wonder it's a big priority that deserves a Presidential speech and debate in Congress.

And, by limiting it to couples of the same sex, it in no way is insulting to the many heterosexual married couples who are biologically incapable of having children, even though it might seem their childlessness is even more corrosive to that traditional concept of marriage for procreation, what with there being a "mommy" and a "daddy" but no "baby". Since, given the reasoning behind this amendment, marriage is all about procreation, some of us have been worried in that department. (Thank goodness we 'chose' to have our reproductive systems and not our brains work differently from the majority.)

Most of all, I'm glad the President gave his speech today because I really wanted a reminder that we are just months away from the elections. It's always a wonderful sign of the opening of election season to hear W. getting cranked up about gay marriage again. (Is there anyone on the planet who thinks he actually cares one way or the other?)

By the way, George, had any luck finding Osama yet? How about the guy who leaked Valerie Plame's name to the press?

George?

Where'd he go?
