Hmmmmm. Well, while we're examining the hideous travesty that is the Bush administration, I would just like to briefly highlight the stupidity of the official White House statement regarding the recent Supreme Court decision banning statewide criminalization of homosexual sexual acts:
"Well, I guess it's up to the states now."
No, it's not up to the states, you dumb shit, that's what the whole bloody decision means. When something goes to the Supreme Court that means the decision applies to everyone, not just the state who had the case in their jurisdiction. That's why it's called the friggin' Supreme Court, not the Mildly Influential Court, or the Sort-of Important Court, or the Court of Ambiguity, so I Guess You Don't Really Have to do What We Say. Supreme. As in almighty. As in big, badass Court of administering the holy ass-whooping to the assholes that dare defy it. The four states with laws against homosexuality have to strike those laws from the books because they're unconstitutional. Remember that, Bush? It's that ugly, yellow looking piece of paper with the big words on it that you don't understand written in funny handwriting that you can't read because YOU'RE DUMB! Why has nobody in the media picked up on this?

Also, everyone's all hot and bothered that this means that gay marriages will be legalized. First of all, the decision has nothing to do with gay marriage, so keep your trousers on. Second of all, who the fuck cares if people in love want to get married? It's none of Fred Phelp's or Rush Limbaugh's business if two people completely unrelated to them want to be together personally and legally. As far as the government is concerned, marriage is a civil union, not a religious one. And since it's a fundamentalist religious restriction that prevents gay marriages, they can't constitutionally recognize that limitation. Reform jews have no problem with gay marriage. Atheists don't care. I'm sure there are other religions that are totally ok with it. To me, homophobic worries over the demoralization of marriage by allowing gays to get married is the perfect example of Not My Problem. If you have an issue with gay people getting married, or buying a house, or getting jobs, whatever. That's your problem, not theirs. The homophobes are the ones causing the problems, not their targets. Homosexuals getting married doesn't devalue any one else's family or harm them in any way. The people bigots are prejudiced against shouldn't be punnished for their ignorance. Same thing for sexism and racism. You, Mr. Bush, are just intent on making it their problem because you're a bastard.

Now go kill small children while driving drunk, cause after all, there's no holy injunction against that, now is there?
