Sitting here with my big fat gay checkbook and about to write the big ones to Uncle Sam, Cousin Dave P and Aunt Bloomieberg. Finish off '09 tax bill, make the first big dent in '10. Funding my own exclusion from the Constitution. Seems I remember people not paying the "War Tax" back in the days of Hanoi Jane.
And now I read Uncle Samantha's having town meetings with soldiers as part of deciding whether gay Americans can quit lying in order to defend a set of freedoms they don't even have. Back to the desegregation of the troops under Truman: Do you think they asked a single soldier what he thought about sharing the battlefield and bunkhouse with black soldiers? Again: the military works on orders. The soldier's job is to OBEY. SO ORDER EQUALITY. NOW. AND THEY WILL OBEY.
Speaking of de-funding wars... what's UP with this Afghanistan thing? Paying for that, too. Add another 0 and FORGET ABOUT SOCIAL SECURITY being there when my generation needs it.
It's a sociological commonplace that money troubles are the number one cause of relationship failure. Well, I am SO out of love with paying for OBAMA'S Justice Department to write MORE briefs supporting the fed ban on marriage equality.
Lissen up, Obie: the gay check's in the mail.
