Sacred my ass......

Ken Starr filed a legal brief on behalf of the "Yes on 8" campaign that would forcibly divorce the thousands of same-sex couples that were married in California before the idiotic, hateful and selfish passage of Prop 8.

How does making two people who love each other forcibly divorce fit into the "sanctity of marriage" argument? I guess if you have to use that illogic, it only works pre-marriage. These couples are already married, legally, whether you homophobic, hate mongers want them to be or not. What's done is done. Yet you want to FORCIBLY break the union already LEGALLY created.

My favorite song verse is "talk about a man named jesus, a man of love, a man of faith, but what a man did 2000 years ago means nothing at all to me today". So clearly the fear of same-sex marriage is just bible thumping, bible distorting bullshit to me anyway, so there is no way I could ever understand it.

The divorce rate among all of us (yes, I am in the divorce process) man-woman marriages is, what, 50% or so. How is that sacred?
Men and women going on a televised game show to find love and a spouse. How is that sacred?
TV evangelists with mistresses and hookers on the side. Sacred?

Marriage is made sacred by the two people within it. Not the church, not the bible, not the genders of those two people. Marriage is not sacred just because it's marriage. Marriage is legal. Courthouses marry people. "The power invested in me by the sates of....." As far as I know, it's against the law to deny any group of people their legal rights. I thought discrimination was against the law. On paper at least.
We should be upholding the letter of the law, not the anecdotes and misguided, illiterate interpretations of a 2000 year old book.

Random thought of genius opinion. (Typos not part of the genius, BTW. You can't spellcheck the free flowing thoughts of genius. That's my story and i'm sticking with it!)

"Please hold for......

.....an important message."

You answer the phone and that is the recording you hear on the other end. What I want to know is WHO the hell are the people the actually stay on the line?!
Are they the same people that think Bush did a good job and are looking forward to Palin in 2012? I think it's a given that they are.
Are they the same people who think the Fox news network is fair and balanced reporting? They must be.
The same men who think Ann Coulter (maybe spelled wrong and I don't care) is hot? That only makes them blind, not deaf, so they probably hold.
Are they the same people who believe they have been abducted and "probed" by aliens? Probably not. I don't think you can hear the phone ring through the tin foil hats.

Just one of the random thoughts of genius I have when I'm trying to avoid the reality of life.

"Right" on red?

Turn "right" on red. Hmm, let's read it again. Turn "right" on red.

I read this traffic sign differently than most. To me it doesn't have a directional meaning. It reads, Turn "privilege" on red. Turn "luxury" on red. Turn "possibility" on red.
No one has the "right" to turn on red. It's not a right. It's not in the constitution, it's not listed in the Bill of Rights and the Bush regime hasn't stomped on it or used it as toilet paper. So you see, it can't possibly be a right.
It's simply a privilege, a luxury, a possibility to be able to turn on red AND it's only these things when there isn't an oncoming vehicle. GUESS WHAT, if you can see a car coming THAT is considered "oncoming"!
Use basic common sense. Car stopped at light must accelerate form 0 to speed limit by the time the oncoming vehicle is at it's bumper. Now, I'm not a math, physics, time-space continuum or even basic algebra genius, but I know enough to figure that equation. That is rarely, if ever, possible without a Formula 1 race car. Even 35 mph is fast compared to the dead stop at which you are starting from.

Age limit...

It's baffling to me that there isn't an age limit for the Presidency. 
Let's be honest, and maybe even mean. In the real world (the world of paycheck to paycheck, blue collar, working grunts) if John McCain, at his age, were to start applying for new jobs the most he'd be able to get is Wal-Mart greeter. Okay, maybe there would be other options. My point is that he would get turned down for the big jobs. Isn't President of the United States a big job?

Has anyone taken a good look at before and after presidency photos of Bill Clinton and Bush? Did you notice how much older they look by the end of their terms? C'mon people, McCain doesn't have the room to spare! He's already old! The stress of the job only made the last two look old but at least they had younger vital organs.

A secret passion I didn't know I had....

Like there isn't enough real causes in the world to get your panties in a wad over I have made one up. 
Ever since the commercials pushing the dollar coin over the paper bills began airing I have had one constant thought. Not the curiosity of how much more "green" this switch would be or why do we keep spending money to make money, literally. Nope. The burning question in my mind has been.........drum roll please...........what will the strippers do if we switch to coins? Seriously, this concern for the stripper community popped into my head the first time I saw the commercial and stuck.

Are the patrons going to have to attach double sided tape to the coin,throw it at the stripper and try to get it to stick to their bodies? Will they have a collection plate like a church and pass it around during their set? Will there be a market for cute little g-strings with pockets? I'm learning how to sew so the g-string idea could be my ticket to financial freedom! Viva la pocket G!

You were warned that my genius is random. This may not be one of those random moments.
