A moment of political wtf-ness

[windandwater]

So. Hi. Uhm. No one in Texas is married right now.

I hope they have fun with that.

... part of me wants to read over the text of the proposition myself, but not right now. Right now I am sleepy and not in the mood to logically rip apart clauses. But I can. I so totally can. I have a degree to prove it, too.

*snorts* Identical to marriage.

Wow. That was just really amusing.

Wow. I'm going to be laughing for hours.

Why did we annex that godforsaken dustpan in the first place...?

[windandwater.livejournal.com]

To take it away from the Mexicans, of course.

... *palmface* I'm thinking slowly today, I think. I should have known that straight off.

I don't take any credit for what we're doing down here -_-;; Apparently there are more idiots surrounding me than I previously thought.

*snuggles* I felt the same way when Arnold got elected governor.

...

In fact, I still do every time he shows up on the teevee. -_-;;

[windandwater.livejournal.com]

Indeed. =__=;;

But at least all of his "reforms" are being defeated. Yay-ness.

Are they? :D

[windandwater.livejournal.com]

Yup! Front page of the Press-Enterprise, even. I'm so happy.

Are they? :D

*cuddlehugs* I don't blame you for the stupidity of your state. Just make sure to ask people when they're going to try and get married again. XP

AHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAA

Oh shit. And I thought nothing could get funnier than the latest series of briefings from Rumsfeld that a (brigdier general) friend of mine sent me. Jesus. The fact that the country keeps thinking that these people are the bestest thing EVAR never ceases to amaze me.

Democrats might be whiny little bitches, but at least they tend to be logically correct. (They just can't seem to do math to save their souls. But apparently neither can the Republicans! Yays! [beats head against desk])

And I thought nothing would be funnier than Vice President Cheney trying to pass for the acceptance of torture.

Thank you, goverment, for making me proud to come into the legal profession.

the union of one man and one woman.

(b) This state or a political subdivision of this state may
not create or recognize any legal status identical or similar to
marriage.

Ooh. Thanks for that. I knew where the text of the proposal was, just didn't feel like reading it at 2 am. XD

Yay for political bitchery, eh?

Re: The Wording In The Proposition:

[lavenderfrost.livejournal.com]

No problem. Posted the prop. in its entirety on my lj if you want to examine that in context.

And yes. Very yay. XD

Re: The Wording In The Proposition:

I saw. *highfives again*

Re: The Wording In The Proposition:

[lavenderfrost.livejournal.com]

BTW - you will rip this thing apart and rip again, won't you? *puppy eyes*

I'm sure lots of people would love to get a Law Grad's take on it. XD

Re: The Wording In The Proposition:

[windandwater.livejournal.com]

... do you really want me to? o_O* I mean, people already ARE all over LJ (yay for flist stalking). But if you want me to give it a shot, I can tonight. It's all mostly the "identical to marriage" part anyway.

Re: The Wording In The Proposition:

[lavenderfrost.livejournal.com]

Go for it!
