More monkey business

BILLINGSGATE JOURNAL (Dateline San Diego)

Exclusive Report: From an area known for its abundance of fruits and nuts, San Francisco County Superior Court Judge Richard Kramer ruled today that withholding marriage licenses from gays and lesbians is unconstitutional. The judge asserts that Caleefornia's protracted denial of equal protection for gays and lesbians cannot be justified simply because such constitutional violation has become traditional.

Traditional? Traditional? How can you logically argue that the word "marriage" which has by definition universally described the union between a man and a woman for thousands of years in every culture now be construed to mean anything else? The next thing you know, some pot head judge is going to rule that you don't have to have a brain to be a judge. But in Judge Kramer's case the ruling will have to be applied retroactively.

Unfortunately for us all, the brain surgeon who performed the lobotomy on him didn't cut his tongue out while he had his scalpel handy. The fact that a tongue can operate without a connection to a brain is not unprecedented. Sadly enough, in some reptilian subspecies such as the one this judge belongs to, it is not uncommon.
