Charles P. Pierce (TAP): And God Made Box Turtle

[Dudley_DUright]

I noticed in Newsweek last week, on a different page from that interesting tale about how we might not have elections this fall, a truly important story about how America's hardworking ecdysiastical class is offering free lap dances at certain establishments as long as the customer agrees to register to vote. At last, I thought, I understand the difference between hard and soft money.

With that, as Lyndon used to say, let us continue ...

I watched with interest over the past few days the spirited debate in which the Senate of the United States deliberated the crucial issue of who should be allowed to marry whom, and why that is in any way the business of the federal Constitution, which has had a pretty bad couple of years, poor thing, and should be left alone for a while to heal up, in my opinion. Anyway, I realized late Tuesday night that the Republican supporters of an amendment to ban the latest boon to Massachusetts's tourist economy had abandoned wholly the critical issue of interspecies dating.

I mean, there was Senator Rick Santorum, glowing and chuckling and channeling either Jimmy or Martha Stewart, talking about how much he'd rather be home, tucking his kids into their beds. Not a word -- nay, not a syllable! -- about how God made Adam-and-Eve, not Adam-and-Fido, a problem that had obsessed him when activist judges here in my beloved Commonwealth had first sent us down the road toward the day when the Westminster Kennel Club's annual show turns into a bridal fair. And then there was Senator John Cornyn of Texas.

I always like to imagine the archaeologists and anthropologists of the future unearthing misleading artifacts of our age and trying to decipher our bizarre culture. And getting it all wrong, like determining that human and amphibian intermarriage was so widespread that it apparently undermined our civilization.

3. I have to admit I have a dirty mind

Every day I have some naughty thoughts, but never, not once, did it occur to me that you could screw a box turtle. That John Coryn is one twisted mofo.
