Garbon ought to like that one.

Nah, it's not integrated.

Justice Kennedy to Supporters of Prop 8: Um, No
Justice refuses without comment to halt gay weddings
By the Associated Press

(AP) – Supreme Court Justice Anthony Kennedy has denied a request from supporters of Proposition 8 to halt gay weddings in California. Kennedy turned away the request today with no additional comment. Same-sex marriage opponents asked him to step in yesterday, a day after the federal appeals court in San Francisco allowed same-sex marriages to go forward. Numerous weddings were performed at San Francisco City Hall following the court decisions. The opponents said the appeals court had acted about three weeks too soon. They could continue their efforts to halt gay marriage by filing their request with another Supreme Court justice.

So they wouldn't have let you in? Doesn't that sort of thing normally bug you?  :huh:

So I'm going to dislike an image of naked men because at the time said image was created, I would have not been allowed to serve in the army?

You would have been allowed to serve.  I bet you would make a wonderful cook.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

Why is it that every joke by and/or about military people is utterly not funny?  Are drill sergeants trained to beat out the sense of humor out of new recruits?

I'd say you need to get out more.  Western humor is different from that with which you grew up.

Grumbler misses the stand up of comedy of his youth.  Nobody could top Magnes and Cratinus.

:hmm: I think I'm onto something here, at least with the first part.

On an unrelated note, the Hammer of Thor has been approved for headstones in military cemeteries.

Guess you shouldn't have let gays in. Sow and reap, bitch.

On a related note, I saw that the US has already granted green cards to non-citizen partners in gay marriages. Happy to see that this sort of stuff isn't being delayed. :)

They were called stand up philosophers back then.

So I only just saw it but I have to admit to liking Nancy Pelosi's response when asked about Michelle Bachmann's denunciation of the SC rulings on gay marriage: "Who cares?" :D
