Mr. President tries to give Angela Merkel a massage. This is all over the European news, brought to my attention by a friend in Amsterdam. As if we needed anything more to be embarrassed about from this administration.

The Things One Finds.

I was browsing the Open Hearth Foundation's website when i cam across this picture of my friend Rosemary, who passed earier this year. It was poignant to randomly come across it in a forum i ought to have expected to come across such in.

In another forum, happylion said:

Traditionally, Jewish law says that marriage is about procreation. Therefore, the Pentateuch prohibits a woman from marrying a man whose testes have been damaged or removed. Also, if a couple do not succeed in having children for ten years, they are forcibly divorced and remarried (this happened to distant cousins of mine; they both had children in their second marriage).

American law does not follow the Jewish tradition. Therefore, an American marriage is not simply about procreation, and any arguments based on procreation are meaningless.

in response to this letter to the editor in Monday's Washington Post, page A14:

( Therefore these rights are not absolute but curtailed by the laws of nature of that Creator, who clearly designed his creatures to procreate heterosexually, not homosexually. (It just doesn't work any other way.) )
