"Defending" heterosexual marriage - and other lunatic ideas

Over at This Modern World, in a post delightfully titled “The gay sex should start arriving at the door sometime later today,” Bob Harris writes:

I’ve been straight my whole life, but the Senate was unable to muster enough votes to “defend” heterosexual marriage.

Obviously, if heterosexual marriage needs to be defended, and now the effort has failed, heterosexual relationships are now profoundly endangered. We straights are helpless — helpless! — to preserve our own relationships and orientation.

So, I will be expecting the gay sex to arrive at the door sometime later today, and for all of my family and personal relationships to begin changing.

You should do the same.

I just wish I knew what to wear.

Maybe FEMA will start handing out some kind of kit.

More commentary on the subject from George in Denver.

One night recently, before the Senate vote, Jay Leno mentioned that W had used his radio speech to push the stupid amendment as very important to the nation. With his wonderful quizzical look, Leno deftly ridiculed the idea that this is a top-priority issue: “What? They’ve caught Osama bin Laden? Did I miss something?”
