Cheryl Burke Moves On - and other things...

I think I've told you, but in case you weren't paying attention, I watch that Dancing With the Stars show long enough to see Cheryl, then I'm tuned out. Sorry, but I'm not even sure who the other "stars" are (outside of Emmitt), so she has my undivided attention. Fortunately for me, she and Emmett have survived another week.
My Tuesday's are full.

-------------------------------------------------------------------
Yesterday, in my fine home-state of New Jersey:

TRENTON - Same-sex couples in New Jersey must be given all the benefits and rights enjoyed by married men and women, but state lawmakers will have to decide whether they can officially wed, the state's highest court ruled Wednesday.

Groups like the New Jersey Coalition to Preserve and Protect Marriage, Focus on the Family and the New Jersey Family Policy Council oppose same-sex marriages. As if opposite-sex marriages have been such a great success.
By the way, I'll bet a week's pay that all of those groups are less than 4 years old.

But, never mind that ... after all, who is it that creates all these gay people? The opposite-sex marriages, that's who. I think these focus groups should focus their anger where it will do the most good ... in the homes of the man and woman couples who are making all these gay people that the coalitions hate so much.
Now that's a coalition I'd like to see. The New Jersey Coalition to Oppose Straight People Who Make Gay People. Print up the pamphlets and start writing the checks.

Then ... WASHINGTON - President Bush this morning signed into law a bill authorizing the federal government to install fencing, cameras, motion sensors and other types of barriers to stem illegal immigration along 700 miles of the U.S.-Mexican border.

This guy still hasn't vetoed a bill. It makes me wonder if some Congressmen have figured out a little plot:

CONGRESSMAN 1: Check this out. How much you wanna bet he signs it?

CONGRESSMAN 2: What is it?
CONGRESSMAN 1: It's a bill that makes it illegal to park two cars next to each other if they're the same color. I'm calling it "Cars Across America". Pretty catchy, eh?
CONGRESSMAN 2: Do you think he'll sign it?
CONGRESSMAN 1: Sign it? He won't even read it!

Seriously folks, do we think a big fence is going to keep people out of this country? The War on Drugs, the War on Terror the War on Poverty ... am I missing something, or are all of these things still around? Build a fence, put up a camera, buy a gun ... they're coming, and you can't stop them.
It's the same mind-set that thinks that laws against gay people will stop gay people from finding each other. You cannot legislate morality no more than you can legislate desire. Those people want to be here, and by whatever means necessary, they will come.
Why? McDonald's is hiring, fruit needs picking and small-business loans are cheap.

All it will do is cost us more money.
Dance with me, Cheryl.

Funny thing is these same sex partnerships if you will last longer than opposite marriages!!! Something's working for them!!

Cheryl is sassy...I'll give her that.

Now same sex marriage? I'm all for it. Who cares. There's like a thousand other things to deal with-let people who just want to love each other do their thing.

George? Oh. If they're stuffing drugs in the corpses of young dead children and bringing them into the US, they'll figure a way to get in over around the fences with the cameras.

Ah anthony - he did veto one bill.

When he signed the torture bill he said something like "It's not everyday that you get to sign a bill that will save thousands of lives." Well, he had the chance to sign that bill - the stem cell bill - but it was his one and only veto.

The ban on gay marriage is ridiculous. It's discrimination, pure and simple. You're not stopping them from living together as man and, well, man. You are stopping them from enjoying the benefits, such as spousal health insurance, that all married couples enjoy.

Perhaps, universal health coverage would limit the need for gay "marriage"...stick that up your ass & smoke it GWB!!
