Sometimes it's good to sweat the small stuff

Okay, What The Fuck?

Here's another item to add onto the ever-expanding list of horrible things the CIA has done.

Confess or complain to a monkey in Belarus.

So for the past two days I've been sitting around in an under shirt and pajama pants, glued to C-SPAN like a deadbeat sopa opera fan, in order to catch every last minute of their dramatic new series "Senate Debates Gay Marriage Amendment." What a show! The baby-faced Rick Santorum gave a performance worthy of such adjectives as "stunning," "breath-taking," and "douche-baggy." With the help of giant blue plackards emblazoned with quotes from former Supreme Court decisions, Mr. Santorum made use of some of the classic catch-phrases that initially made him a star, like:

"If the Supreme Court says that you have the right to consensual [gay] sex within your home, then you have the right to bigamy, you have the right to polygamy, you have the right to incest, you have the right to adultery. You have the right to anything."

Sam Brownback was up to his old tricks again as well. In an unprecedented move he actually incorporated French legal theory and sociological empiricism straight out of the pot-smoking Netherlands into his speech. That's hardly fair! The one thing that liberal politicians could always count on was European precedent to back them up. I guess Democrats are going to have to start quoting scripture to catch up. *Le Sigh*.

I've known enough bright, good liberal people from Georgia and North Carolina that I should really not be surprised that equally cool people exist even in South Carolina. I guess I really am a bigot (or at least a left coast snob!). Nice blog you've got, Tristan.
