I was worried that the US had some real problems on its hands: the loss of more jobs during any presidency since Herbert Hoover; American soldiers dying in Iraq; the lawlessness of Afghanistan; ongoing scandals of corporate malfeasance; soured relations with much of the rest of the world; record budget deficits...
But now that the President -- with, it must be said, many Members of Congress from both parties solidly behind him -- has decided to push for a Constitutional amendment banning gay marriage, I think I can rest much easier. Clearly those other issues must be resolved, or the President and Congress wouldn't be spending time on such an issue. Right?
Whew! I feel much better now. [pseudorandom]
