Now that Prop 8 has passed in California, radio hosts are attacking other peoples’ marriages as well. Take a look at what Mark Levine (host of Inside Scoop from Washington) has to say, and how some callers respond to his idea that left-handed people should not be allowed to marry.
I know there are some who say that being left-handed is not a choice…
That people are “born” that way.
That’s ridiculous.
We all know we choose which hand to write with and feed ourselves.
And this disgusting abnormal perversion of this radical minority cannot be the will of God.
After all, in every human society from the beginning of time,
Right is “right”! It says so in every language. Left is sinister, evil, gauche, maladroit.Right is “droit”, right, correct, the Law!
What other outrage will be perpetrated against decent Americans next?

Good evening Teddy
Aloha, Teddy!
double crap – i have mixed lateral dominence… which bench do i sit on?
Evening Master Partridge…so if your ambidextrous are they confused?
So if I’m right handed and my Elmore is left handed we can’t get married?
He isn’t and we don’t intend on getting married….. we both did it….. 19 years each… and found our current living in sin more fun….. especially for a granny…..
Teddy!
These poor souls gotta go.
They just gotta go!
BUT I never want to deny anyone the fun…..
hey katymine – living in sin is my preferred method – i tried marriage twice – don’t wanna be a 3 time loser
That reminds me, did I see Elmore at one of the games last week? They were thanking cameramen and such and gave them some face time. Plus a skit?
yanno teddy, pretty soon there won’t be anyone else left for the religious right to discriminate against. then what will they do? no tall women? no short men?
Been there …. done that…..
but my parents who met during WWII married three weeks after meeting have now been married 64 years…… some work and others don’t…… My mothers parents were married just as long…..
Dammit to hell, I thought I already destroyed marriage once and for all. Aren’t three times enough? What more do I have to do to save humanity from this menace?
Nice to hear you feeling spunky Katymine. am surrounded Mormons to the North…yes on 8 acroos the street next to a no on 8. Football family to the South haters baiters mashed potaters.
The Brandt Geese are here on the bay and the Duck Hunters got their last shots at them today.
I went out for a row and herded them away from the hunters who had placed themselves in the middle and across from each other do they had them in there sites coming and going….probably opposed to left handed marraige too. team hub=nting may be illegal,,,as I rowed by they started their motors and moved toward their Elmer Fudd duck party poopers.
Lenny Bruce can stay, right?
No, Elmore manages all the technical details of the whole production….. when you see him all hell has broken loose…… he stays in his office making sure that everything is running smoothly and likes it that way….
Shucks. I was thinking he was a cameraman. It was pretty cool, nonetheless.
For those who have not hear I am going to be admitted tomorrow for my second series of Interlukin. We hope that this time things can go more smoothly as we know what side effects I have and what works on them.
Will have my laptop and will pop in when not zoned on drugs…..
Second round?
Go with Dog, katymine.
Kick ass.
fingers and toes crossed katymine (and lotsa warm positive shrinking and healing thoughts)
I’m so confused that I’m ambidextrous.
(((katymine)))
Sending you lots of positive energy in 3, 2, 1…
guess we end up on the group w bench q
All thought and wishes are with you, katymine.
First they came for the gays, and I didn’t speak up because I wasn’t gay.
Then they came for the left handers, and I didn’t speak up because I was not left handed.
Then they came for the trade unionists and I didn’t speak up because I was not a trade unionist.
Then they came for the Democrats and I didn’t speak up because I am was not a Democrat.
Then they came for me, and by that time there was no one left to speak up.
Been there done that. Oklahoma City Receiving Station, August, 1971. Very much like Arlo described. Except for the guy all the docs clustered around and asked where he peed from. I don’t even want to know (though I think I may).
Suz, is Token a southpaw?
I’m so tired of having other people telling others how to live…..
When I first moved to AZ it was illegal for Elmore and I to live together….
Home owners association tells me what color of house I can have, where cars can be parked and gets after me if I don’t put up my garbage can fast enough….
Had someone give me a nasty comment about my SUV during the gas crisis…. Hey its paid for and I don’t commute to work (work from home), it sits most days in the driveway…..
This is a highly libertarian state……
token says its bad enough he’s a forking it and ya wanna know if he is a lefty?
Same here, katymine.
Christy Moore singing Yellow Triangle.
Aloha, Katymine, my thoughts and prayers to ya…! *g*
Same to katymine as Margot and SouthernDragon — wishing and hoping.
Chris
Please Digg it for Teddy!
dugg and thanks for opening the digg
Hot diggity dugg!
… I can’t take it anymore I feel myself metamorphing into a frog…my tongue is getting longer…my thighs are thickeneng…my eyes are moving to the side of my head and have have strong urges to read Jumping Frog of Calaveras County… can some one please tell me where and when the next frog contest is? I feel very jumpy and competitive all at once and I know I am not pregnant. Will there be planty of flies?
(((katymine)))
Wow. As a sinister type, if I get married, does it threaten the marriages of the dexters?
tonight i finally finished off the sent home leftovers from turkey day
Actually it threatens the destruction of the universe as we know it.
they took twenty seven eight-by-ten colour glossy photographs with circles … Wusn’t that your career jon Suzzanne? Crime scenes…
i was not a csi at the dept – but i did my share of processing scenes. but that was then and this is now and i don’t have to do that no more :)
honey that is stretching the food safety rules of 7 days post holiday……
A couple of my colleagues in physical anthropology do a lot of forensic work for the police both locally and at the state level.
Snencer Tracy…the Left hand of God. A bad man for a good god…I think it is strating to come together for me now. And I always felt so smart…oh well chugarum. Guess I’ll just dive into the lake gee we need some lily pads…sigh.
*sigh* I couldn’t find Randy Travis’s 8 X 10 picture, but, I did find another classic…
Same here….. of course a lot of bodies are found out in the desert years after the death…..
I think this is suitable for one of my colleagues mentioned above. Don’t think it fits my other friend, Randy, however (though he is the evolutionary anthropologist).
Ok kids…. its been fun…… going to bed….. sending love and hugs back to everyone here …… (((((((FDL))))))))
g’nite katymine
We actually have a forensic anthropology program here. Ashley and Randy (or more usually their students)do all the identifications for skeletonized remains. Also occasionally get called in for recoveries as well. They are both trained in preserving all evidence and context as anthropologists.
Night, Katy.
nite katymine
BIG love katymine.
We have the same program through ASU….. Katerina one of the anthropologist is an acquaintance of mine….
wishin’ somebody forensic had checked out ken lay
g’nite katy
Well, our folks only get to you if you are no longer recognizable. Mostly that is skeletonized, but a occasionally still a bit ripe.
as does chico state in ca.
Nice
Hello Pups! I’m looking foward to Late Nite. Meantime, I did spend three days in D.C.
A lot of places do. Partly owing to misplaced demand. Folks are watching too much CSI and haven’t figured out that isn’t the real world. Most PDs don’t even have CSI teams, and some don’t even have anybody specially trained to do it part of the time (covers most MT PDs).
Coroner first
Coroner or local LEA call in our people, who work with the coroner’s office and the state crime lab. One of the county medical examiners is getting his Ph.D. in Forensic Anthropology with us to upgrade his skills.
not all coroners have the specialized training for recovery of and identification of skeletal remains – that’s when they coroner’s office calls in a forensic anthropologist.
Yep — people expect the PDs and sheriffs’ offices to respond and act just like they see on tee vee. (To be fair though, how would they know otherwise? But I digress…)
Evenin’ all :-)
Hey, LL!
hey ll
The best forensic anthropologists anywhere are the ones that the US Army has on tap at Tripler Medical Center, the ones they deploy around the world to identify our MIA/KIA remains…! ;-)
Hey DrD :-)
Hey Suz :-)
If they are lucky enough to have access to one. For the most part our folks only do recovery in western Montana (about 1/3 of the state). Folks east of the divide are pretty much on their own (our folks are the only ones in the state and it is a really big state).
Our town is built on a Chumash site…they were known to be here 10,000 years up to when the Catholic Mission separated the males from the females whether right or left handed. A few decendants left. Someone took a skull from a site a few blocks from me. A while back. values?
Katymine get well and raise hell.
Good to see you Chris and everyone!
I need to go to bed. No classes this week, but I have seminar papers to grade tomorrow and some finals at midweek.
‘Nite DrD, may you find a lot of good grades amongst those seminar papers!
Aloha, DD! Aloha, LL! Great to see ya again!
Robert Redford Sundance Productions, made a film up in the snow covered Rokies…the scene riders come upon a sacred Ute burial grounds, They buried them on pole beds above. It was a real spiritual experiece. he handled it well. Respect.
I am sure I will. They were a pretty good group and the ones I have graded so far were really good.
g’nite drdick

Aloha CT, I’m still here for a bit ;-) Great to see you too!
*sigh* Must we deal with ya tonite…! ;-)
Teddy you are so right. G)
grrrr
Hey Neuro I left you a comment at Digg!
I’m a lefty, but I’ve had to learn to shoot, cut, play musical instruments, operate dangerous equipment and a lot of other things as if I weren’t. At least ten times a month, even now, in the 21st century, I hear “Oh, YOU’RE a lefty? That explains a lot.” Every week….
That’s a pretty fucking funny video.
Only kidding, M’dear…! …slinking off into the corner…
late late nite upstairs
