Santorum-esque
Denver Post writer Jim Spencer has a take on the latest inmate of the Santorum Sanitorium:
I have great news for state Rep. Jim Welker of Larimer County. Officials at the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment report no cases of inter-species marriage.
I know this information will come as a relief to Welker. Last week, he mentioned a woman who married a dog and a man who tried to marry a horse as reasons Coloradans need a constitutional amendment that bans gay marriage.
Welker’s reasoning runs something like this: Now, it’s Adam and Eve. If it becomes Adam and Steve, the next thing you know, it’ll be Adam and Fido.
If this is the intellectual gravity supporters of an anti-gay marriage amendment offer, its chances of passage are the same as my chances of getting permanently hitched to a pony.
Spencer takes no prisoners with the rest of his critique.
Ya really gotta wonder where these fantasies arise from. I can only guess that they call the Biblical chapter about Noah to be Judae0- Christian porno.

…this would be truly funny, worthy of pointing in the general direction of Colorado and making funny noises, were it not for the fact that we have folks right here in Oregon (especially on the East Side) who would happily endorse every word Rep. Welker muttered…

Is the fool even mildly aware that marriage is a legal partnership contract that requires informed consent on the part of both parties.
If you find a dog that can give informed consent and can sign a contract you should marry them, for surely they are worth a fortune in a community property state.

Jack, what’s with Vicky Walker? I must not be keeping up on the home state… what’d she say or do?

Oh, I’ll tell ya where they arise. Check out Leviticus 20:16 . . .
