Taxes are going way down now, right?
I bet the Dems thought this was THEIR issue. Heh.

That would significantly benefit my job prospects…

So now you know what kind of people vote democrat!

Tired of being white? Get a doctor to say you’re really black! Got that, K-Fed?
Tired of driving around finding parking? Choose to be disabled!
I never liked being the “Universal Donor”. I’m changing my blood type to A+. Wait! No! Better yet, I’…

I think if I can change from a white heterosexual male to a black lesbian female then the sky’s the limit! I could rule the world!

Forget a woman playing in the NFL. This would mean that some freak can change his sex on the birth certificate, then play golf from the womens’ tees. Now THAT is an outrage!

That’s my concern. Let’s face it, men are better than women at sports. They’re even better at chess.

If men are able to pose as women, then we may as well do away with seperate competitions.

As a gay man, I’m STILL not clear what this obsession with marriage is all about with gays? Hetero’s…is it really all it’s cracked up to be?

As others have said, yeah, it’s a roller coaster, good and bad all in one.

Personally, I’m not real big on the government being involved in marriage anyway. For me, it wasn’t about the piece of paper, or changing my last name (which is annoyingly strange), or any benefits of which I’ve yet to see from the government or anyone else, but it was about going in a church in front of my family and friends and making a vow to stay by this person my entire life.

I wouldn’t be against legal partnerships that allow for all the benefits marriage is supposed to provide.

I just don’t like marriage being changed. The last time it was changed, divorce was introduced.

As far as I’m concerned, the government could allow for the legal document of partnerships (which can be romantic relationships or not), and religious institutions can be in charge of marriages.

But that’s just me.

I think the punchline is: Loretta, if you want to have babies who would be the father?

Loretta: I don’t know, I don’t have eyes in the back of my head.

Or:

You’re oppressing me again.

I don’t know, but he was a real pain in the a**!

LORETTA: It’s every man’s right to have babies if he wants them.

…I seem to remember — back in mists of time, back when I was dating — That I was myself *VERY* fixated on genitals, the way a dog is *VERY* fixated on bacon. My genitals, here genitals, however many other genitals we could wrangle into the backseat of the car…so long as they were correctly aligned and all the cards were on the dashboard, so to speak.

I think that I would’ve been *VERY* fixated on genitals had I reached the “moment of truth”…after an hour of tonsil-hockey, my attention would’ve been immediately fixated were I to reach into “her” knickers only to find that “she” was just as ready to go as I was…and *in the same fashion*, so to speak…as to say with the same general equipment in play, as it were….

“Hmmm…let’s do an inventory, my dear…one penis…two penises… EGADS! We’ve got one too many penises here!”

…then the *REAL* fixation on my erstwhile love-muffin would begin…followed by a fixation on the jaw, spine and solar plexus…after which he/she would truly be in a fix!

What shall we “redefine” next? Age of consent? That’s in the works. Consent itself? Will rape be redefined and deflated to mere “presumption of consent” if they, say, didn’t say “no” in enough languages?

We as a species need to recognize that there’re just some things over which we have no control. Being born is one thing. Being born with specific original equipment is another. If you’re in “sticker shock” over the options you find yourself equipped with, drive off the showroom floor and see a mechanic…*YOU* are the one with the problem…not every other car on the road.

Canary swim nipple lumberjack!

Hey, don’t talk about my sister like that!

I was hetero once…now…I wait by the cart as my wife weighs the merits of brands of macaroni. *sigh*

I feel your pain brother!

AP, you don’t want to switch teams; you’d never be able to get KP then!

…where in the hell is your blog? You’re a natural.

I ran a mailing list for quite a while, back in the day…sort of a primordial blog, when dinosaurs sat around with insomnia, snarking about the foibles of other dinosaurs….

“…and did you catch Rex’s breath! Hoo-eee…if you can’t floss with those short arms, get the wife to do it!” “He thinks it’s macho…it’s just soooo Mesozoic!”

…you have to put it there, find content to b*tch about, promote the site…*THEN* you need to ride herd on some of the broken toys who show up to throw bombs.

This blog here is *SO* very well run that even the bomb-throwers behave themselves…the discussions are fairly mature (not this topic, but it’s the election season, and fixating on genitalia is a stress reducer)…it’s an easy site to navigate…and the crowd which shows up is pretty informed.

…and, you have to ask yourself: do we really *NEED* another wise-acre blog site? What we need is more reasoned conservative activism, and less of either the smart-alecky kind, or of the “he-hasn’t-checked-all-the-boxes-on-my-ideological-checklist-so-he-must-be-the-enemy!” variety.

…but, thank you. It was very kind to suggest it.

As a gay man, I’m STILL not clear what this obsession with marriage is all about with gays? Hetero’s…is it really all it’s cracked up to be?

…I’ve been married for 22 years…four kids…how the hell would I know?

I was hetero once…now…I wait by the cart as my wife weighs the merits of brands of macaroni. *sigh*

REG: What?!

LORETTA: It’s my right as a man.

JUDITH: Well, why do you want to be Loretta, Stan?

LORETTA: I want to have babies.

REG: You want to have babies?!

LORETTA: It’s every man’s right to have babies if he wants them.

REG: But… you can’t have babies.

LORETTA: Don’t you oppress me.

REG: I’m not oppressing you, Stan. You haven’t got a womb! Where’s the foetus going to gestate?! You going to keep it in a box?!

LORETTA: [crying]

JUDITH: Here! I– I’ve got an idea. Suppose you agree that he can’t actually have babies, not having a womb, which is nobody’s fault, not even the Romans’, but that he can have the right to have babies.

FRANCIS: Good idea, Judith. We shall fight the oppressors for your right to have babies, brother. Sister. Sorry.

REG: What’s the point?

FRANCIS: What?

REG: What’s the point of fighting for his right to have babies when he can’t have babies?!

FRANCIS: It is symbolic of our struggle against oppression.

REG: Symbolic of his struggle against reality.
