Love and marriage, love and marriage.....

"Love and marriage, love and marriage Go together like a horse and carriage This I tell you brother You can't have one without the other Love and marriage, love and marriage It's an institute you can't disparage Ask the local gentry And they will say it's elementary"

Man I used to love to hear o"l blue eyes" sing that song. But I digress.

Anyway, the "local -republican- gentry" in Mississippi doesn't think that certain types of marriages should be "elementary":

"MISSISSIPPI-According to Public Policy a recent poll determined that 46 percent of Republican voters in Mississippi want to have interracial marriage banned. We asked voters on this poll whether they think interracial marriage should be legal or illegal- 46% of Mississippi Republicans said it should be illegal to just 40% who think it should be legal. For the most part there aren’t any huge divides in how voters view the candidates or who they support for the nomination based on their attitudes about interracial marriage but there are a few exceptions."

It's all Obama's mama's fault. If she hadn't had Barry with that black man they probably wouldn't hate the idea of race mixing so much. You know how much those folks hate O.

Anywhoo, we have more serious issues to worry about. (Sorry OJ!) After midnight tonight we won't be able to go to any federal parks, and if you were planning a trip to Europe and you haven't gotten your passport yet you might just be out of luck. Yes friends, thanks to wingnuts and their extreme views on certain social programs, tonight your government just might stop working. This is not cool if you are one of the over 800,000.00 federal workers who might not punch the clock come Monday morning. Not to mention the brave men and women who put their lives on the line to defend their country.

Still, it's too bad that the legislators in Washington will still get paid. If they didn't, I bet we wouldn't be having this debate.
