Ignorant quote of the day
Posted by: Chris
"I think if you legalize [gay marriage], you've got to legalize some other things that are pretty unsavory. You can call me a radical, but how can you tell an aunt that she can't marry her nephew if they are really in love and sharing the bills? How can you tell them they can't get married, but something else that's unnatural can happen?"
-- Country singer John Rich of the duo Big & Rich
Ahh yes. The old incest bluff. Maybe John and his kin can't think of any difference between gay marriage and incestuous marriages, but I'm sure the rest of us -- including even Rich's idol Fred Thompson -- can. Here's a tip: genetics.
Rich goes on to boast that, "One reason why we are able to be so untethered in country music is because we have a really strong base and strong beliefs and core values." Yeah, but what about his own reputation as a womanizer? "I'm probably somewhat of a walking dichotomy, I guess."
Dichotomy, yes. A few other descriptors come to mind as well.

I keep getting confused as to all that goes with being gay.
John Cronyn says I am like a box turtle.
Last week it was someone comparing us to murderers, then beasiality, and now this brilliant artists compares it to incest.
When will I find time to watch Seinfeld?
