Who Stole Christmas
or Third Base. Anyone's guess.
What is not a surprise, however, is Santorum polling at one percent. Because, aside from his famously funny name (google it) his brand of conservative republicanism means just mean-hearted bigotry to a lot of people. 'Family values' means only the kind I like- man, woman and six kids apparently. Women's rights, one fears, means the right to choose which supermarket one can budget for. Aside from the foolhearty gay bashing litigation that didn't succeed in Washington, DC which even the Cardinal of DC Wuerl wishes he could do over, every time that the same Cardinal appears on the altar there are at least three or four known gay servers, sacristans, eucharistic ministers, lectors, or other helpers front and center who are living with their partners. And everyone knows it.
This thanksgiving I went to my sister's in laws country house and there were gay women cousins-(one was a cousin, the other by gay marriage-we aren't from West Virginia!) who have been living together for 30 years. The day after thanksgiving when most people in the world head for the Macy's black friday after thanksgiving sales, these two women put on men's hiking boots, and took chain saws to the woods to chop firewood. Not kidding.
Being around them did not make me want to put on men's hiking boots and grab a chain saw. Neither did it make me want to look furtively or longingly at someone of my same gender.
Perhaps the recent scare about Thalites in common household chemical products being an endocrine disrupter created more gayness. Who knows. Genetic or acquired tastes? I am not God. All I know is that to hate anyone for this or judge anyone for this is not my business -or yours- Santorum. So get over yourself and send your wife to college already.
Cain, now we can just call Candidate Dirtbag. When he says no one listens to 'that garbage' his one finger pointing outward points four back at him. He's more done than that Turkey you ate last week.
