1. K&R!

2. "Teh Menz kissing" . . . or Levi-cuts 30x36 . . . or man on dog . . . or something . . .

You gotta admit, the pearl clutcher's "reasons" are getting to be pretty comedic in their patheticness. Is that a word? :)

9. A bit of irony, though...

Lots of them who are worried about "teh menz kissing" don't seem to get all that upset...and are actually pretty happy to see..."teh wimmenz kissing".


Especially if the kissing wimmenz is HOT.


go figure...

3. One can pro-create..the other can only play house

8. For various reasons, the couple on the right may not be able to procreate.

But they are able to get married (and have their marriage universally recognized throughout the country) just the same.

4. Is that a wig on the second person in the right panel?

5. I believe it's

the number of penises.

6. In one marriage dynamic, the surviving spouse can claim benefits accrued by the other

Republicans can say it's about something else (and part of it may be), but in the final analysis, it's about the money.

SS needs the money "left behind" by single people., When same-sex couples can claim survivorship, and can use marriage benefits on taxes, there will be money "lost" to the system.

Since republicans tend to lay claim to "all the money", they take this sort of thing personally.

7. According to Obama one is sanctified by God and the other is not?

:shrug:

[JoePhilly]

14. When did he say that?

I'm pretty sure that at no time he has said "one is sanctified by God and the other is not".

Do you have a link?

Explaining his opposition to gay marriage in 2004, Obama said, "I'm a Christian, and so although I try not to have my religious beliefs dominate or determine my political views on this issue, I do believe that tradition and my religious beliefs say that marriage is something sanctified between a man and a woman.''

[Nye Bevan]

16. "I believe marriage is between a man and a woman"

Could be a religious thing. Could be that he just thinks gay marriage is icky.

10. It's all spelled out in the Bibble. I'm sure it is. Isn't it?

[racaulk]

11. Yep, the Bible has a whole lot to say about marriage.

19. That is brilliant!

I thought Betty Bowers was only in cartoon form. That was great.

12. Maybe we should ask Victoria Jackson.

If only to see the LifeSavers explode out of her head . . . :rofl:

17. Methinks Lil' Vicky did one cartwheel too many.

Very little spiritual fruit from that religious nut.

18. I couldn't read that thread. Just thinking about her made that voice/brain combo infiltrate my head.

Oh my god. Someone said she must still be acting. Now that would be genius. Sadly, I don't think it is.

and your sky-daddy's an imaginary being in your head - so now give me a real reason.
