I had a long day. I spent 4 hours and 45 minutes driving 100+ miles around Rochester on a temp job that ultimately paid ok thanks to good gas milage on my car. Was frustrated beyond beleif at shitty directions and lots of U-Turns and swerving and poor drivers. And I got a driver's arm SUNBURN while being hungry and dehydrated. Then I come home, flop into my chair, and see this on my homepage.

And all I could think was: "We have a horrible economy, goverment spending out of control, we have bigotry running rampant, we have violence, we have over 100,000 kids waiting for adoption and even more animals, we have not one but two wars going on, we have soldiers dying, others snapping and murdering civilians, we have global biological and ecological problems, we have cities unprepared for the weather disasters heading their way, and HE'S CONCERNED WITH TWO MEN FUCKING EACH OTHER????"

What the FUCK is wrong with these people?
Oh fucking no, two men want to fuck, oh no, two women want to kiss, oh for crying out loud what the FUCK does that have to do with anything?

How about we fix the economy, the government, and the environment, before butting into peoples personal lives and worrying about how they get off?

Seriously.

At least some others did more ranting for me

If the GOP can energize the shrieking ultra-conservatives and at the same time suck in everybody else and distract us all from the really important issues ... the next election will turn on the issue of gay
marriage, and not on those more important issues.

Such as: Who really screwed up in Iraq? Such as: Where did the budget surplus go? Such as: Why is the Bush White House the most secretive in modern history? Such as: What's happening to individual privacy and freedom in America? Such as: Where's bin Laden? Such as: Is Bush really as stupid as he seems? Such as: Enron, Plamegate, KATRINA, Abu Ghraib, and on and on and ON.

But ... gay marriage?? As THE burning issue at this moment in U.S. history? You have to ask yourself just how desperate these guys are.

I'll hope the Dumbocrats will have enough on the ball to turn this thing on its head with something like "Yeah, you guys go ahead and fill your campaigns with the dangers of gay marriage. The rest of us are
going to talk about the IMPORTANT stuff."

Seriously. Please get fucking real.

This isn't even political labels anymore, there is no such thing as a covservative or a liberal anymore, both sides are so over run by incompetancy and morons slapping labels on themselves and saying they're one thing while turning around and behaving the opposite that the words don't mean shit anymore.
