Most Distinctive Attribute

Overheard on the bus:

A: You know, prisoners... you know how much it costs to keep them? They're living like kings off our money!
B: We should have, like, Saddam Hussein prisons! He knew how to deal with prisoners!
A: Yeah! Or, like, prisons like they have in all those... those countries... those guys with beards. Who are they?
B: Muslims?
A: Yeah, them. Are they the guys with beards?
B: I think so.

More in the Breach Than the Observance

"...the state of Texas... says a union granted in a state where same-sex marriage is legal can't be dissolved with a divorce in a state where it's not... Texas Attorney General Greg Abbott... is appealing a divorce granted to a gay couple in Dallas, saying protecting the "traditional definition of marriage" means doing the same for divorce."

I think I overuse the phrase "reduced to a parody of itself', but I think it's warranted in this case. At the point that you're forcing a same-sex couple to remain married as part of your opposition to marriage equality... yeah, I'm going to say you've lost track of your ideology...

In other news, the KKK is distancing itself from Fred "God Hates Fags" Phelps, and announced they have no opposition to civil unions.
