Gay Marriage Coming to DC?

As announced previously, DC council member David Catania introduced a bill allowing same-sex marriage in the District of Columbia. It is being supported by a vast majority of the other council members (not Marion Barry though, boo!), so it looks like it will pass. Mayor Adrian Fenty says he will sign the bill, but Congress has 30 days to "review" the legislation.

God forbid the children of DC be allowed to make up their own laws. They might come up with something like this: If a man cheats on his wife, or vise versa, both the cheaters must be put to death.

That actually isn't a crazy law from the DC Council --That is one from the Bible -- Leviticus 20:10. Passing that law sure would make The Jerry Springer Show a lot more interesting.

However, the Washington Post reports there does not appear to be strong movement by Congress to block the DC gay marriage bill from becoming law in DC. Keep your fingers crossed. Any suggestions where I should register for gifts?

Why Would They Think Polanski Might Run?

Roman Polanski lost his plea Tuesday to be released from Swiss custody after his arrest stemming from a U.S. extradition order for having sex in 1977 with a 13-year-old girl. Apparently, there was some question of him being a flight risk. You flee one felony charge more than 30 years ago, and a fella gets a reputation.
