Bush's Constitutional Ban on Gay Marriage.

Wouldn't it make more sense to make divorce illegal than to prohibit gay marriage? I mean, if Bush is serious that we're trying to save "the most fundamental institution of civilization" it would seem that we need to consider all options. This is pretty serious stuff. Perhaps we need a War Against Divorce to smoke all nuptual-breakers out of their holes. See article.

There is also an interesting article in today's Guardian that contrasts Bush (and the American political mainstream in general) with the British Conservative party. The Conservatives, far from opposing equal rights, will soon be hosting a "gay summit" at the House of Commons.

The article also references a new Annenberg poll that shows that while most Americans oppose gay marriage, most do not favor a Consitutional amendment banning it (the good ole' states righters, no doubt).

Once again, Steve Bell has put things better in a simple cartoon panel than I can in an extended post.

Because I can't currently get to email, I'll note this here: someone was interested in researching Republican dissatisfaction with Bush over the economy. Hold that thought and read Andrew Sullivan's blog right now.

The economy is not the only place the President has gone off the reservation.
