== Love Gets A Strap-On And A Smile ==
Nevada opponents of same-sex marriage said a U.S. Supreme Court ruling that struck down a Texas sodomy law will invigorate a national move for a constitutional ban against gay unions, mostly among exceptionally uptight fear-drunk white people who have desperately warped and straightjackeded ideas of what love truly means and who can't sleep at night without at least four Valium and a dozen deep sniffs of rubber cement and the soothing voice of Dr. Laura on looped tape. "I think
this will probably get the momentum going to a national constitutional
movement protecting marriage," whined a deeply terrified and twitchy
Richard Ziser, chairman of the Coalition for the Protection of Marriage, one of those itchy screeching little groups that spearheaded the anti-gay marriage movement in Nevada. "What with Canada now approving the icky homo agenda and the even the weird Supreme Court allowing freaky gay people to stick things into each other, why, it's a slippery slope indeed until the world goes straight to hell and I just up and confess my utter adoration for ball gags and x-tra large strap-ons and latex masks and being spanked with a large paddle until I cry in bliss," he did not add, falling into a trembly reverie. "Holy crap, did I just say that out loud?"

== Happy Happy Sodomy And The End Of Strom ==
Strom Thurmond of South Carolina, a central figure in the political
transformation of the South and the longest serving senator in American
history and long-noted hunk of sanctimonious fiery intolerant shoe
leather who helped shape the modern GOP into the adorable vicious and
lopsided and utterly heartless machine of soulless bitterness it is
today, and also the guy who inadvertently helped force Trent Lott from
power, bless his shriveled soul, died Thursday night. He was 100. The Gods of Fate and Time were gratified by the ultimate result of Strom's life, noting with pleasure that the famed segregationist and misogynist and homophobe lived just long enough to see Canada OK gay marriage and the US Supreme Court give a huge thumbs-up to homosexual *and*
heterosexual sodomy across all states, with the added bonus that the case that brought the sodomy issue to the Court in the first place was centered around an interracial gay couple. It is believed by some of the more open-hearted in this culture and in this newsletter that it is this very realization, this very turn of love energies despite Strom's decades and decades of fighting and resisting and sneering at almost all humanitarian progress, that finally killed him.
