I just stopped by Don Lee's blog, White Line Philosophy. He has an interesting take on gay marriage. He's asking if the new gay marriage laws will be followed by new gay divorce laws. Think about it, folks. Usually, it's the man who pays alimony, isn't it? What if the "husband and wife" are both men? Is it the higher wage earner? Like with celebrity divorces? And what if they have children? (Adopted, I mean. Biological children would go with the blood parent, I'm sure). Would the stay-at-home spouse get the kids? Or the wage earner? Would one half of the couple be designated "husband" and the other one, "wife?" Or would there have to be a new legal definition of which one was which? Would the two be absolutely equal in all ways? Would an abused male partner be able to go to a "battered women's shelter?" Or would new shelters have to be created for abused gays only?
Now that two men can marry or two women can marry, will three people be able to do it? Or will there have to be a new law specifying that "marriage" of any kind is only between TWO people? And what if a threesome decided to challenge it? Will the old Mormon ways of a man having multiple wives be resurrected to accommodate those who want group "marriages?"
I'm not asking these questions because I'm a Christian conservative. They are legitimate questions that need legitimate answers, don't ya think?
I just watched an amazing display of butt kissing. John Edwards (failed vice-presidential and presidential candidate) gave a lengthy and glowing testimony to Hillary Clinton, right before endorsing Barack Obama. He clearly hopes to be considered as vice-presidential material again (in spite of the fact that he couldn't even carry his home state). Apparently, he thinks that if Obama gets the nomination it will put him in good standing for a Cabinet position. If not the Vice-Presidency, maybe Attorney General (he was at his weaseling, vassilating best in the speech). While, if Hillary manages to pull off a coup and get the nomination, he can go back to the kind and generous words he used to describe her, forgetting what came after, and hope for something (maybe Supreme Court Justice Edwards?) As usual, he's trying to butter his bread on both sides. He hasn't figured out yet that when buttering the bread on both sides, one's hands tend to get all goopy...
Do you know the Preamble for your state?
Here's another email, I wanted to share with you. Even the states that seem willing to remove God from their daily lives have kept His name in their constitutions. Note the years of each. ( Special note to Barack Obama, Allah is NOT mentioned and there are fifty (50) states.)

After reviewing acknowledgments of God from all 50 state constitutions, one is faced with the prospect that maybe, the ACLU and the out-of-control federal courts are wrong! If you found this to be 'Food for thought' copy and send to as many as you think will be enlightened, as I hope you were.
(Please note that at no time is anyone told that they MUST worship God.)

Ever see something in the night sky that you couldn't explain? The Albuquerque lights? Or the Gulf Breeze sightings, or those in Mexico City? Do you wonder what really happened in Roswell, NM? Have you thought that believing in UFO's or ET's might somehow be in contradiction to your religious beliefs? What about the Book of Revelation? Isn't there a hint of sci-fi in some of the descriptions? I know some Christians who say that UFO's can't exist because it would go against the Bible. I've always thought that a God who created the univese could have decorated it with whatever life-forms He wanted.
Below is a link to MSN and an article about the Vatican's position on Extraterrestrials. I'm not a Catholic (anymore) but it makes a lot of sense. What do you think? Personally, I've always had a suspicion that some politicians aren't quite human

Here's another email I received today. Little details you never get to hear in the mainstream media. All we get to hear is the death tolls, the tragedies, the losses. Did you ever wonder why so many of the returning troops still believe in the mission and why so many of them volunteer to go back? Here's why...

Subject: In Obama's own words (Very, very Scary)
Barack Obama got a great endorsement yesterday. He's being supported by none other than Ray Nagin! That's right, folks. Ray Nagin who could have saved all the victims of Hurricane Katerina if he'd acted in a timely fashion and put the rescue measures into effect before the disaster struck. Between him and Kathleen Brown (former Louisiana Governor), they are responsible for all those deaths. Brown wasn't reelected (Bobby Jindall was. On a strict conservative platform) but Nagin was. The people of New Orleans just didn't get it, I guess. He failed to act and caused lots of citizens to die, because he is as inept, ignorant, and downright stupid as his new hero, Obama. What a pair they are

I'm off for a day with the kids. My daughter is making a cake with a recipe that's been in our family since before my Pappy was born (100 years ago in Nov.) and there probably won't be a crumb left by the time we get finished with it! As usual!
This will be LGJ's last Mother's Day as a child, and she's doing something special for her mom. It should be a really great day

I keep hearing about both Hillary and Obama having "progressive" platforms. The term just doesn't make sense to me. Their liberal ways are hardly my definition of "progressive."
They want higher taxes, what exactly is progressive about that? Losing half of the paycheck we work for doesn't sound like progress to me

I just heard on Fox News Channel that Barak Obama says he has visited all FIFTY SEVEN STATES. Wow! Does this guy know his country or what? This must be the "change" he's been talking about. He, single-handedly, added more states to the union and visited them! Of course, he admits that he still has one state left to go before visiting them all. (He said this in a speech in Oregon, by the way.)
Maybe this goes with his comment about the USA being the greatest country in the world and how he wants to change it, ya think? Did he make it bigger so he could get more votes from the "new" states, maybe? Hillary got "super delegates" and now Barak wants new states. Isn't that just adorable? Constitution, what Constitution? They don't need no stinking Constitution

Here's how it works, folks... The libs/dems create a problem and then run on a platform of fixing the problem that they either caused or invented. Happens every time. Just like clockwork.
Energy... The Clintons (and Algore) had eight (count 'em EIGHT) years in office to deal with the energy needs of the country. They did exactly nothing. They had no energy policy. They forbade drilling in ANWAR, off the coast line, in the oil shale regions, everywhere. They forbade the building of new refineries, citing "ecological concerns". They forbade nuclear facilities for the same reason. They did nothing whatsoever to encourage new technology to deal with future energy needs. Now, they want to get re-elected so they can "solve" the problems that have been there all along
