My friend A. recently posted his iTunes top 20, which inspired me to copycat also examine what I play most frequently. The results surprised me a little, because they don’t conform at all to my Audioscrobbler stats. And yes, I probably have something more important to worry about.

“Gays can’t have kids — other than going to the abandoned kids store and getting one or two, or borrowing sperm from someone with more sperm than brains — so by definition they’re out of the marriage game.” –John Gibson, Fox News (via Wonkette)
Ah, yes, the old argument that the purpose of marriage is to have kids, therefore gays shouldn’t be allowed to marry. Which begs the question of whether heterosexual marriage without children should be outlawed also. (Hey, John, you wouldn’t happen to be Catholic, would you? I assume no condoms or birth control in your house, eh?) Perhaps the marriage license should stipulate that the document becomes null and void if the couple does not bear children within the first five years of marriage. Of course, if a couple is physically incapable of bearing children, they can always head down to the “abandoned kids store”. Soon, the Abandoned Kids Store will be overflowing with stock–there’ll probably be a 2-fer-1 sale! Because once abortion is outlawed again, that’s where they’ll ship all those kids whose moms couldn’t afford to take care of them, or who got raped, or who were smart enough to recognize that they weren’t parent material. The Abandoned Kids Store: because life is precious.
