The candidates are an interesting group, with diverse opinions - for tax cuts and against them, for NAFTA and against NAFTA, for the Patriot Act and against the Patriot Act, in favor of liberating Iraq and opposed to it,'' Bush said.

Of course, he also came out for a Constitutional Amendment banning gay marriage. Wrong, wrong, wrong! The Constitution shouldn't be used for societal mores. Look what happened with Prohibition.

Meanwhile, of course, our own Attorney General is dragging his feet. The guy who left his own wedding reception to crow to the press about having an airtight case on Scott Peterson, hasn't managed to find time to do his actual job and enforce California law in San Francisco. Instead he poses and says it's not the Gov's job to order him to do his. (Oh, yeah?) There's now a recall threat on him. Hey, I'd sign it. Lockyer is a disgrace. But he's never actually obeyed the law (see gun control) so why should he start now? He is my ObGoe today. My dwarf really hated Lockyer.

I think Newsom opened a can of worms with this gay marriage thing. Straight people were getting more and more accepting, but when they're forced into a corner, positions harden. There's probably going to be a big anti-gay backlash.

Heh. Citizen Smash on gay marriage.

Opinion Journal says it's "An act of monumental political stupidity." They have more on gay marriage and Donks. Meanwhile, Scrappleface, Bush Backs Amendment Defining "Mayor."

James Taranto posits a simple amendment I could actually support: "Nothing in this Constitution shall be construed to require any state or the federal government to recognize any marriage except between a man and a woman."

Of course, that makes too much sense.

I was feeling invisible today. Since the rest of the week is going to be stormy (in fact, I cancelled Casey this week, too muddy and nowhere to go indoors) I'd thought of getting some caches while we still could, so I was tapping them into the GPSr in front of Rich. He never noticed, went into the back, and played Snood all morning. Then, about 1, he asks, "Are we doing anything today?" Tonight I was taping one show and was going to watch supermillionaire... he turned it over and I said I was planning to watch a different show, and he completely ignored me. I wonder, if I dyed my hair purple, if he'd even notice. He talks AT me, not to me! Grumph.

Roger Aykroyd says Bush Now, Hillary Later. I agree with all of that except for the Hillary part.
