I just wandered into a bookstore with friends here in Ghana on Friday and saw prominently displayed a venomous book titled "The Case Against Same-Sex Marriage" - written by Rev. Somebody-r-Other from Ft. Lauderdale, FL. It made me extremely depressed to think the bookstore (of south African vintage) would even handle the tripe that was in it (though I do adamantly believe in freedom of speech and press)! The main thrust of the book was that it isn't the church or individuals who despise and condemn this abomination, but it's GOD'S WORD (which actually calls for execution of people for many strange kinds of things)... Actually, I would like to point out to that author that we don't stone people to death on the outskirts of town so much anymore,as called for by "admonitions" in this and other "holy scriptures".. Thanks to Pat Racimora - and the reader comments here so far - for the badly-needed breath of fresh air for those of us still fighting the "Yes on 8" syndrome throughout our beloved country. We clearly need to catch up with Canada and Europe on so many things, including this and health care reform, before we can really tout living up to our Constitutional guarantee of "equal protection"...

I think your cartoon would make a wonderful PIN that could be worn by all supporting Equal Rights for all. As far as Hubby Hubby, they had to call is something, but it should be renamed to "Marrage Marrage, me and you". Nice work Pat.

I often have nightmares of such radical manicures. I heard they had some footage of the Hannibal Lecter protege that is being digitized so that the culprit can be fingered. I would check all the local pastry shops to see if they have any recordings of suspicious characters ogling the lady fingers, they're a gateway indulgence for the real thing.
