Trouble ahead

So Bush wants a constitutional amendment to ban gay marriage. You know that means things are even more fucked up than we know with US policy the Middle East. If he ever calls for a constitutional ban on abortion, I predict global nuclear warfare.

On a related note: Robert Kennedy Jr. in this month's Rolling Stone becomes the second prominent personality to allege the 2004 presidential election was stolen in the mainstream media. The first, as far as I know, was our old contrarian friend Christopher Hitchens in Vanity Fair.
