Their Lips Are Moving...

Straws.  Without which one's bricks are rather goopy...

• On the mawwiage (thank you, Impressive Clergyman) front:
  • Still trying. Still ridiculous.

    Allowing gays and lesbians to wed, Stewart said, creates "genderless marriage" and "weakens the social expectation of the child's bonding right," leading to a likely increase in fatherless and motherless children.
    
    Judge Ronald Gould asked Stewart where children's "bonding rights" could be found in the law. The attorney acknowledged he had no legal source, just the messages that states and social institutions send to men and women.
    
    If you really want to send a message, Berzon said, "put up a billboard."

    No, really.
  • This marriage is between a man and a woman.  But folks are...concerned.
  • ETA (Just went up at Republic of T):  Marriage as panacea.  Unless, of course, you're gay.  Or not having children.  Or not possessed of a college degree.  Or or or.
• Zandar calls it:  The Mask Slips Again.  Or alternately, Pennywise the Clown does not dress at home.

  Like I keep saying, Republicans want fewer people to be allowed to vote. This is a solid plank of their platform, to make sure a few people vote as possible. When that happens, they win. When people vote, they don't. Therefore, they must stop people from voting by any way possible.
  
  Especially if those people are black.
  
  This is why when I see people declare there's no difference between the two parties and that voting doesn't matter, I want to slap them. If voting doesn't matter, why are Republicans trying so hard to stop people from doing it?
