It's Jesus!

He's appeared in pancakes and on doors. And he won't stop until we realize that he appears on arbitrary objects to make us feel better.

Jesus, or something.

It looks like the virgin Mary to me, or an alien (see the antenna cleverly disguised as steam holes). Mary Jo (the woman who discovered Jesus) says that "life is going to be good" and that this is proof that "he's listening". Maybe you're just bad at ironing clothes, and can't do it without burning them. But, of course, that's all God's plan too.

Texas Bans Marriage

I guess I'm being something of a gay rights activist today, but this one is too funny to pass up. In an attempt to prevent gay people from getting married, Texas lawmakers may have inadvertently banned all marriage in the state. I guess that's Texas for you.

The clause in question says that "marriage in this state shall consist only of the union of one man and one woman." Ok, on point so far, moving on. "This state or a political subdivision of this state may not create or recognize any legal status identical or similar to marriage." Oops, the state can't recognize anything identical to marriage? Hmm, what is identical to marriage. Oh, that's right, marriage.

The apparent intention of this badly worded clause was to prevent civil unions and domestic partnerships for same sex partners. It does that, but they went a little too broad. So Texans, until this constitutional amendment can be repealed or changed, no marriages for anyone. Thank Greg Abbott for his mistake.
