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.

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

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

[windandwater]

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]

Indeed. =__=;;

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

[mikkeneko]

Are they? :D

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 Wording In The Proposition:

Sec. 32.
(a) Marriage in this state shall consist only of
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]

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

And yes. Very yay. XD
