Three Marriages and a Funeral

The Bush Administration is ushering in a new morality. The acting President they have put in power in Iraq, Ghazi al-Yawa, has three wives (although there are some doubts over the legality of one of the three marriages. It may have been one of the Britney Spears type things where we're not certain if the marriage took.) Well, I am glad the Moral Majority appreciate the insistence upon morality in our actions. I believe selecting Ghazi al-Yawa may have helped Bush with public support in parts of Utah.

Many voters are just glad that the Bush election means an end to any thought of allowing gay marriages. These people can sleep at night knowing that somewhere in their community a gay couple will be unable to legally commit to each other. To them, morality is not whether or not the lowest wage earners in your community can see an increase in their minimum wages. Morality is seeing that a life partner can not be permitted to make medical decisions for a partner when a distant relative will have that right instead. I am certain that will allow many more people to sleep better at night. Their jobs may be outsourced, their health care may become more expensive, but at least those gays down the street can't marry. Is the world a better place when we support multiple marriages in Iraq but not committed unions in America? American has decided: Yes. Sleep tight, and don't let the terrorists with stolen nukes sneaking through our poorly patroled ports bite.
