First gay marriages, then....!!!
We can't say we weren't warned!

First, gay marriages, then, well, just look what was next!


The wait is over. There will be no baby swans this year in the Public Garden. Romeo and Juliet, the feathered pair who for six weeks feverishly guarded a nestful of eggs near the lagoon, have abandoned their nest. And one specialist now believes that both may be females; perhaps Romeo and Juliet are, in fact, Juliet and Juliet.

<snip>
Juliet, or perhaps both Juliets, began laying eggs around May 21, and the eggs were expected to hatch sometime between late June and Sunday, but they never did. One by one, the eggs have been disappearing in recent days. At one point, there were nine, and yesterday, rangers said there was only one. Parks Department officials speculated that the swans may have kicked them into the nearby lagoon.

6. You're right.
Now that society has been contaminated beyond saving, all manner of calamity will befall us.

Hepatitis A in our restaurants, and now homosexual swans on Boston Common.

All of this could have been avoided, of course, if only we had been more prudent and re-elected GHW Bush in 1992.

It is the end of society as we know it, and it is surely, alas and alack, all Bill Clinton's fault.

5. I thought you were refering to the Cal gay divorce that is filed!
But the Boston story is big news around here.

They are doing a DNA on both - but this season is a no new little ones season.

7. Oh no...
Next thing you know, you'll have to bring your swan children up in a world where a union between swan and box turtle is on the same footing as swan and swan.
