1. At least Boehner tried. Remember him fussing about taxing tanning salons?

And his daughter married *one.* See, it's contagious. Do I need a icon here? Here's another one. Just in case.

and no icon is needed.
She married ONE? What? Whatever the answer is, Karma has spoken.

3. Yup, Boehner is getting his education now:

The moment proud father John Boehner watched his daughter say 'I Do' to her dreadlocked Jamaican-born love

By Sara Nathan 13 May 2013



The daughter of House Speaker John Boehner has tied the knot with her Jamaican-born love in an intimate sunset ceremony set amid a lush Florida garden.

Lindsay Marie Boehner, 35, married construction worker Dominic Lakhan in a flowing white strapless gown that showed off a huge tattoo etched across her arm.

Her 38-year-old groom looked smart in a grey suit with his waist-length dreadlocks on display as he waited for Boehner to walk Lindsay down the aisle at Sundy House in Delray Beach on Friday.

The couple said their vows with the House Speaker looking proudly on - despite the fact Dominic had previously arrested for possessing marijuana.

6. I hope they played this at the wedding:

One Love! One Heart!
Let's get together and feel all right.
Hear the children cryin' (One Love!);
Hear the children cryin' (One Heart!),

Sayin': give thanks and praise to the Lord and I will feel all right;
Sayin': let's get together and feel all right. Wo wo-wo wo-wo!

Let them all pass all their dirty remarks (One Love!);
There is one question I'd really love to ask (One Heart!):
Is there a place for the hopeless sinner,
Who has hurt all mankind just to save his own beliefs?

One Love! What about the one heart? One Heart!
What about - ? Let's get together and feel all right
As it was in the beginning (One Love!);
So shall it be in the end (One Heart!),

All right!
Give thanks and praise to the Lord and I will feel all right;
Let's get together and feel all right.
One more thing!

Let's get together to fight this Holy Armagiddyon (One Love!),
So when the Man comes there will be no, no doom (One Song!).
Have pity on those whose chances grows t'inner;
There ain't no hiding place from the Father of Creation.

Sayin': One Love! What about the One Heart? (One Heart!)
What about the - ? Let's get together and feel all right.
I'm pleadin' to mankind! (One Love!);
Oh, Lord! (One Heart) Wo-ooh!

Give thanks and praise to the Lord and I will feel all right;
Let's get together and feel all right.
Give thanks and praise to the Lord and I will feel all right;
Let's get together and feel all right. /fadeout/

7. Something just dawned on me...

Many of the right-wing fundamentalist types who want to legislate their morality probably want such laws to prevent THEM from acting on what they feel are sinful aspects of their personalities.

If being gay, for example, becomes more widely accepted as a way of being in this world -- and it is, thank goodness -- they fear they will lose control of their own hypocritical, closeted selves.

So many of those who hold that worldview are immersed in hypocrisy almost beyond belief. They hate themselves; no wonder they hate so many other people.
