From now on I'm creating constitutional amendments for everything I don't like.

All along in this election I've been hearing the ads for Proposal 2. Stupid ads with scripty type floating across the most heinous and outdated 80's wedding photos.

"A man. A woman. As it should be."

I've had several seizures while watching these commercials. But in the back of my mind I've felt comforted thinking that my state wouldn't buy into this bull shit. But Holy Fucking Shit. They are buying into this bullshit.

When Max covers his eyes he says, "You can't see me mommy!" Because from his perspective I can't see him since he can't see anything.

Sometimes I wonder if I haven't matured past being a self centered 3 year old. I rarely talk politics with anyone. I just assumed everyone around me was on the same page. But they're not and now it's the night before the election and I'm so afraid Proposal 2 is going to pass.

I think Max may very well be gay. And constitutional amendment or not I will not deny him his chance to be Bridezilla. Please vote accordingly. (Also you should know Choppable HATES Proposal 2.)

On To Other Things

Logan's computer has a constitutional amendment denying the existence of USB ports so I can't upload any pictures from my digital camera. (Thank you Apple!). But Logan's office does not have a constitutional amendment banning USB ports at the office so he plugged in there and gave me a few shots from our weekend.

We decided to be a cat and a mouse for a party Saturday night. Logan thought being a mouse was a swell idea until he realized he looked like a mouse and he couldn't be cool dressed in all gray with an adorable little tail and gray and pink ears on his head. Isn't he adorable?

Here we are with Logan's friend Meg. Meg does not have a nose piercing, it was a purloined part of another's costume.
In this picture I noticed how when I smile I completely lose my upper lip so I wondered what it would look like if I had really full collagen lips. Lovely!

Here are Madison and Maxwell moments before vomiting all over the place. Not really, but why do they have to do that when I take their picture?

One year Madison was a monkey. Another year an adorable fat bumble bee. Then a chicken. This year she was everything I hate in a halloween costume. A soul killing confection of polyester and iron ons.

Next year there will be a constitutional amendment banning all costumes I can't stand.

Like it or not, the kids are still way cute. As are you, Logan, and all your party people.

I'm glad to hear that Georgia is not the only place that freaks out over gay people. Yankees can be just as back'erds as we are!

Ahhahahahaha! You and Logan are adorable. The about-to-erupt children are, too.

Your big lips, however, are scaring the piss out of me.

[pinky]

I would highly support such a constitutional amendment - the one about banning costumes you can't stand. As for the other - that just depresses me.

If they start passing amendments about marriage becoming 'what it should be,' I'll be first on line to stand in the middle of the village and be stoned to death. You go and ask Howie if I'm what a 'wife' should be, and patiently wait until he stops laughing and/or crying and answers you.

Prop. 2 is going to pass today. I love you and your precious lakes, Michigan, but must your residents be so f'in stupid?

[Mir]

To assuage my anxiety at the polls later, I am going to think of you and your clown lips. I think it will help.

[sarcastic journalist]

I want to know who are the people that are so scared of gay marriage. I. Just. Don't. Get. It.

Your kids are cute, but I understand what you mean about the costumes. Hope you had fun!

[carrie]

I already cast my vote against such crap here in GA (ammendment 1 here)... but now that I know Choppable might get me if I didn't, I'm espcially glad I voted sensibly.

You guys make a cute cat & mouse.

[baby blue]

Oklahoma had the same crap of "marriage should be considered between one man and one woman"!!!

CRAP CRAP CRAP!!!!!

I of course voted no...but I live in Oklahoma so you know this shit is going to pass!!!

CRAP CRAP CRAP!!!!!!!!!!!

I would like to apologize to all gay couples right now for the stupidity of the American public for not allowing you your "pursuit of happiness" right!!! Obviously some wacko people think they aren't happy in their straight marriage. You shouldn't be happy in your gay marriage either!!!

ERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRrrr!

Here there's Measure 36, which is in danger of passing because one of the commercials features a teacher passing through small children and mentioning that she works hard to teach what's right, and then she joins up with a cluster of teachers "From all across Oregon" and finishes up by letting us know that they don't want to teach anything but one woman/one man in their classrooms. They all looked like the kind of teachers who would use Individual Work Time to go cry in the Teachers Lounge and talk hatefully about how they still live in their childhood bedroom, and how the twin daybed just isn't big enough for all of their sorrows and kittens.

What child wants to hear about any marriage but "One Robot/One Dog who can Talk," or "One my own Dad/One Barbie with the molded on underwear" in the classroom? All I want to hear about is the "One Reeses White Chocolate PB cup/One Dark Chocolate Mounds bar in my mouth at the same time" union.

I hope none of these measures pass. They are horrible, hateful and awful. And if they do, I hope the supporters all fall in love with their best same-sex friend.

Holy Shi-ot! Those lips are huge....and hilarious. My upper lip goes away too and I have a gap in my two front teeth...of course, I have a humongous bottom lip and big toes...not that has anything to do with anything.....HAAHAHA Great Blog

[Nance]

I'm not here to try to persuade anyone, since no one is going to be persuaded one way or the other, but I disagree with you about prop 2. Still love your blog though.

[grace]

Those Prop 2 ads made my stomach turn. I'm watching the early returns right now, and it doesn't look good for those of us who believe in equal rights for ALL. If it passes, I want a big button or a shirt that says, "I'm sorry. I voted against 2."

[Melissa]

Nance, you're right.

You'd have a very difficult time convincing me everyone doesn't deserve equal rights.

Prejudice and denial of rights is ALWAYS wrong. No matter who is voting on it.

It's not enough that these people are forbidden by law to enjoy the life we, as heterosexuals are blessed with, we have to make a constitutional amendment to make sure their rights continue to be ignored?

You're absolutely right you'd never convince me it's not wrong to do this. I'm ashamed of Michigan.

I admit I'm caught off guard by our nations reaction to the gay marriage issue. For me it is such a non issue that I just assumed that the stupid ass commercial about the teachers not wanting to talk to kindergartners about marriage (I agree with the post by I. what five year old cares?) were put out by the stupidheads but as the polls are closing all over the nation, I are seeing with embarrassing clarity that you should never assume. I'm proud to be an american and I'm proud of my rights but I'm very sadden by what the voters are saying to our fellow citizens. What a sad sad commentary on our nation.
