let's all marry our dogs and cats

My friend Tracy had been holding her breath this past week regarding the gay marriage amendment on the Texas ballot - hoping against hope that the people in her fair state wouldn't prove to be just as narrow-minded as the people in the previous 17 states (including Missouri) that have passed this legalized form of bigotry. But, alas, it passed yesterday by an overwhelming margin. Surprise, suprise. Of course, everyone knows that if you let gay people marry, you'll eventually have to let people marry their dogs and cats. I, myself, can now rest peacefully knowing that people will not be able to marry their dogs and cats in 18 states.

But come to think of it, Coco and Tink WERE starting to look pretty good...
