No, I don’t mean in court or as a felon, although we can all hope, but what about as the Junior Republican Senator of Alaska?  The Anchorage Daily News is reporting (no, Sarah Palin can’t name this newspaper, either) that the current senate race may not be decided for weeks, but as it stands right now the incumbent Senator Ted Stevens is leading by 2 points.  This is quite surprising to me considering asshole Senator Ted Stevens was recently convicted on seven felony counts of lying about more than $250,000 in gifts and home renovations he received from corrupt oil and field services contractor Bill Allen (founder of VECO, Corp.)

Our neighbor and I were talking tonight and although I hate to admit it, because I don’t think we’re too backwater, he’s a little bit white trash.  We don’t have a ton to talk about so I brought up Proposition 8.  Figured we’re both around 40, middle class, white men, we should be able to at least talk about this without anyone getting too ignorant.  Boy, was I wrong.

I’m against Proposition 8 – let people marry who they want.  He’s for it – believes there’s something wrong with the law.  Figuring that didn’t make much sense I asked, “what do you think is wrong with the law?”  Now, I’m not much of a legal mind, but his response saying “it’s not written correctly” sounded odd to me. He’s married to a Fillipino, so I added in there, “how would you feel if they said you couldn’t stay married to your wife because she’s not the same race?”
