I've actually thought it would be cool if somebody in Congress pursued this line of argument. I'm kind of surprised that someone had the nerve to do it:

Marriage is for life, and this amendment [to ban gay marriage] needs to include that basic tenant. Therefore, Mr. Speaker, I think we should expand the scope of the amendment to outlaw divorce in this country. Going further Mr. Speaker, I believe in fidelity. Adultery is an evil that threatens the marriage and the heart of every marriage, which is commitment.

How can we as a country allow adulterers to go unpunished and continue to make a mockery of marriage? Again by doing so, what lessons are we teaching our children about marriage? I certainly think that it shows we are not serious about protecting the institution and this is why I think the amendment should outlaw adultery and make it a felony.

This is satire of the highest order. Congressman Davis shows that the effort to ban gay marriage in Congress is less about protecting "the sanctity of marriage" and more about creating a meaningless issue to rally behind in an election year.

Now that there is some interest in doing a podcast, are there any topical requests from the authors or readers. If any of the authors want to contribute to the podcast, let myself, danny, or brendan know.

Somebody tell brendan to buy a microphone so he can record some words.

Any of you punks wanna get you podcast on?
