Russ Feingold Is Gay!

WASHINGTON - A Senate committee approved a constitutional amendment banning same-sex marriage Thursday, after a shouting match that ended when one Democrat strode out and the Republican chairman bid him "good riddance."

Oh he's not really gay, but he and Arlen Specter had a bit of a spat.

What a day to get a late start at the computer. Russ Feingold harumphed out of a Judiciary committee meeting this morning after a catty give and get with Chairman Arlen Specter.

Arlen Specter requested that the vote take place in the President's room where public access is limited. Though Specter "totally opposes" the amendment, he voted "yes" to give it to the Senate where it will be passed around and likely voted down.

So almost like clockwork, and strangely enough, coinciding with Congressional races, every second Spring we hear about flag burning and gay marriage. Bills or proposed amendments go through the House and are defeated by the Senate (even a Republican controlled Senate).

I wonder what that's all about.
