Ok, I know I haven't posted a real post since Tuesday. I promise to shape up here. But this was in the news today and I can't resist posting it.
Two United States Senators implicated in extramarital sexual activity have named themselves as co-sponsors of S. J. RES. 43, dubbed the Marriage Protection Amendment. If ratified, the bill would amend the United States Constitution to state that marriage "shall consist only of the union of a man and a woman."
Sen. Larry Craig (R-ID), who was arrested June 11, 2007 on charges of lewd conduct in a Minneapolis airport terminal, is co-sponsoring the amendment along with Sen. David Vitter (R-LA).
Craig, who entered a guilty plea to a reduced charge of disorderly conduct, was detained and charged for attempting to engage in sexual activity with a male undercover police officer. His arrest and plea became public two months later. At that time, Craig attempted to withdraw his plea and enter a new plea of not guilty. To date, his efforts have been denied by the courts.
In July of 2007, Vitter was identified as a client of a prostitution firm owned by the late Deborah Jeane Palfrey, commonly known as The DC Madam.
With a Democratic controlled Congress it is unlikely the bill will be brought up for a vote in either the Senate or House of Representatives.
A voice mail left for Craig spokesperson Susan Irby went unreturned. Attempts to contact Vitter's press secretary Joel DiGrado were unsuccessful.
I'm off to my FAVORITE place this afternoon. Yes that's right, the city permit office.

I say banishment for the Senators! I have my own theories about those two it goes something like this: #$&^#$!$&*()^%$@!#%^%$%^%#$%^)(&%!&
Yep, that about covers it.
have a great weekend!
Ah-ha...so that's where you are.
I'm sorry I missed you yesterday.
Those who bury their secrets are always the first to point the finger or start the war. I can't believe what small minds they have, if they truly believe what they preach.
If I were unmarried - I would do what Brangelina have done - I won't get married until everyone has the right to.
Missing you this afternoon. :(
lovins,
fiwa
That's hilarious. Sometimes it's almost too easy with these people.
Also, Vitter is the ONLY Senator opposing legislation that would repeal the US's ban on HIV+ people from visiting or immigrating to the US. He's doing so on "moral" grounds. This is the guy who was a regular customer of the D.C. Madam and liked to wear a diaper when he visited a brothel in New Orleans.
What a scumbag.
Morals made up by men are a convenient way to control the masses and force beliefs on another.
I say BULL SHIT!
Now I'm totally pissed.
Did you notice?
