Bush Daughters Embark on Campaign Trail (AP)

AP - After years of zealously guarding his twin daughters' privacy, President Bush has turned a public spotlight on them by making both active players in his re-election.

From Wonkette: FMA "Celebrity" Press Conference Update: Gaygaygaygaygay

Wonkette's fashion correspondent writes to let us know what happened at the press conference announcing the support of "famous people" (Pat Boone! Darrell Green! Marvin Winans! Dean Jones, star of "Herbie the Love Bug"!!!) for the Federal Marriage Amendment.

Are they putting up such pathetic defenders of "heterosexual norms" to make heterosexuality really look endangered?

"Look at what celebrities the gays have left us with! Who the hell are we going to fanticize about while having sex?"

Though we have a good idea what Santorum thinks about. (Wonder if he knows about the box-turtles.)

Well, have done a bit of redification of the blog; not sure if it's an improvement. Was thinking of grabbing some public-domain css designs and plugging in all the radio Marcos, but liquors drunkened me. Plus, I haven't found anything that seemed appropriate yet (though the CSS Zen Garden has some cool stuff).

Any suggestions?

Not sure I would have guessed this:

You are the the Hierophant card. The Hierophant,
called The Pope in some decks, is the preserver
of cultural traditions. After entering The
Emperor's society, The Hierophant teaches us
its wisdom. The Hierophant learns and teaches
our cultural traditions. The discoveries our
ancestors have made influence the present.
Without forces such as The Hierophant who are
able to interpret and communicate traditional
lore, each generation would have to begin to
learn anew. As a force that is concentrated on
our past and our culture, The Hierophant can
sometimes be stubborn and set in his ways. This
is a negative trait he shares with his zodiac
sign, Taurus. But like Taurus he is productive.
His traditional lore can provide a source of
inspiration for the creatively inclined, and
his knowledge provides an excellent foundation
for those who come into their own in the
business world. Image from: Morgan E.

But guess who is the moon...

Well, it's just a dodge on the procedural vote, but all the same:

Kerry, Edwards May Not Vote on Marriage (AP)

AP - Democrat John Kerry and his running mate John Edwards may not end up voting on a constitutional amendment to ban gay marriage, a polarizing issue in the presidential campaign.

Yahoo! News - AP Poll: Bush Seen Decisive, Kerry Smart

Have to love that headline.

So anyone planning a house party to show OUTFOXED? After reading the piece in Salon I'm dying to see it.

A gang of Peter Lorres: great description of Cheney and Bush from Cahiers de Corey.

You know, if we could manage a presidential election in the midst of a freakin' Civil War, I think we can manage an election in the wake of a terrorist attack. Nicole is right—it's all to make John Wayne look more impressive. Of course, John Wayne WAS impressive because of his cool and grace. Cheney et al are more reminiscent of a gang of Peter Lorres.

Reminder to self: Card is an ass-clown, over and over. Forgive yourself for liking that stupid book of his when you were a kid.

Asshole Watch

Orson Scott Card: is he still an ass-clown? Our sources say yes. If I were a political blogger, I might...
