to make their relationships “legal.”

The
City
of Joy: “Infectious, unadulterated joy, sparked by this
unprecedented five-day run of gay-marriage ceremonies that was part
civil disobedience,
part political statement, part Woodstock Nation.”
“ If you
are
going to label
some people (Toni Atkins), then label them all,” wrote Ron and Linda

 Hillcrest resident dies
Blu was born on April 1, 1989. On
that
day Chuck and Pat MacLaggan received the gift of unconditional love
each
and every day for the next fourteen and a half years. Blu loved
“adventures”
and was a wonderful companion who traveled throughout the United States
and Mexico on many extended trips. For the last six years Blu lived
here in Hillcrest. He loved to walk the neighborhood whenever he got a
chance — which turned
out to be several times a day. Aging required the addition of dog
slippers
the last few years, and Blu made many new neighborhood friends who were
curious
about his shoes. On October 28 Blu joined his predecessors, Lloyd and
Toby.
Rest in peace, Blu. We miss you!
Be on the lookout for Chuck’s new
walking
buddy, Chase.

 This hot
new set of playing cards
($20 value for only $9.95 which will surely be a collector’s item and
help
GOPs reclaim the White House) “depicts the enemies of America and
Iraq’s
liberation in a satirical way while revealing the evidence of their
hatred,
their own quotes against America!” The Deck of Weasels include Michael
Moore,
Tim Robbins, Jacques Chirac, Barbra Streisand, Teddy Kennedy, Kofi
Annan
and many more. (Should be 52 or maybe they’re
not playing
with a full deck). A lot of work has gone into this little
project
to show each “enemy” wearing the beret of Saddam’s Republican Guard. Three
of the baddies: >>> 5 of clubs:
“I have not changed my mind one iota. We should
not
be in Iraq without United Nations support.” Walter Cronkite >> 10 of hearts: “Cloaked in patriotism and our doctrine of spreading
democracy throughout the world, our fundamentalism is business, the
unfettered spread
of our economic interests throughout the globe. Our resistance to this
war
should be our resistance to profit at the cost of human life.” Susan
Sarandon >>> Queen of clubs:
“So, they haven’t been able to confirm reports he
[Saddam]
was taken to Tikrit, and then Mosul, and then hopefully to Syria.”
Katie Couric
Here’s
the deck the liberals use.

babies because they would put them down
and
forget where they left them :::

“What
we are
sure of is that we have a commander in chief
(aka the Texas
Soufflé) who plays soldier with other people’s lives.”
San Francisco officials have
been overwhelmed
at City Hall as couples flood in from around the country
to
be married
in the city by the bay. >>> Love
is everywhere
this Valentine’s weekend! <<< Factoid: On
February
14, 1991 San Francisco became the first city to register same-sex
domestic
partners. 13 years later it becomes the first city to issue marriage licenses
to lesbian and gays couples. (great photos in link) San
Diegans rush
to SF for wedding bells, too.
“We’re
at capacity
right now,” said Mabel Teng, the official who oversees marriage
licenses for city government. “We normally do about 20-30 couples a
day.
We’re doing about 50-60 an hour.” |
