Oh good lord. It's a good thing everyone in my office is gone for the day or they'd be wondering what the hell is going on with the guy having a conniption fit.

I didn't screencap it, but it originally read: "With Dicks in, all 6 Wash. congressional Democrats favor repeal of gay-marriage ban."

This is why we can't have nice things! Who tipped them off!?

Change this headline to that headline and call it good.

In the words of The Prophet, "that's funny right there, I don't care who you are".

As a WA resident, I'd just like to say, HOORAY FOR DICKS!

I knew there was a reason I liked Dicks.

I'm gonna miss Norm. He's been around forever, but finally got caught with his hand in the cookie jar up to his elbow.

Doesn't straight marriage involve dicks in as well? Isn't that where babby come from?

Pixiest: What about lesbians then??

The chicks are with Dicks on this issue.

Circle jerk?

Hey, I'm I think I'm beginning to see an underlying theme or motif for this election cycle.

Think it's pretty clear now that Obama going all pro gay marriage after the election wouldn't have worked.

That's not gonna be slid into a bill at the last second and fly.

This is a battle that needs to be fought and it's been a long time coming.

It's a war they want?

I'm cool with that.

We got history, morality, evolution, practicality, humanity and decency on our side.

What they got?

fusillade762: Through his spokeswoman, Natasha Mayer, Reichert said, "I think that we all deserve to be treated equally, but my beliefs and background do not allow me to endorse a marriage other than a marriage that exists between a man and a woman."

Cognitive dissonance much? Or does he simply not understand the meaning of the word "equally"?

Oh, Rmoney believes in "equally", you know, just not for everyone.

/Yeah, does kinda defeat the purpose, doesn't it?

When I moved here to Seattle a few months back this cute co-worker decided she had to take me there before catching a midnight show at the Egyptian on Capitol Hill. Her reasoning was "You need to know what it's like to have put Dicks in your mouth"

She wasn't wrong.

Stupid, frightened people with guns.

Lots... And lots... And lots of them.

Dude, we sent Dave Reichert to Washington in the sincere hope that he would stay there and not let a serial killer wander around free until he basically confessed.

simplicimus: DOMA will be resolved in the Supreme Court, because it says a same sex valid marriage in MA is invalid in NC. This contradicts the full faith and credit act in the Constitution.

Congress in 1996 passed the Defense of Marriage Act (110 Stat. § 2419), which defines marriage as a union of a man and a woman for federal purposes and expressly grants states the right to refuse to recognize a same-sex marriage performed in another state.

That's not a slam-dunk argument. Legal scholars disagree on whether that part of DOMA is unconstitutional.

Full Faith and Credit shall be given in each State to the public Acts, Records, and judicial Proceedings of every other State. And the Congress may by general Laws prescribe the Manner in which such Acts, Records and Proceedings shall be proved, and the Effect thereof.

The part in italics is what makes it so iffy. Basically the argument is Congress has the power to regulate full faith and credit. Using that power, Congress enacted DOMA, which says states are allowed to decide if they'll recognize gay marriages from other states. This is not the part of DOMA that Obama has stopped defending.

The other part of DOMA is ridiculously unconstitutional. It's the part that says that even if a state allows gay marriage, the federal government won't recognize it. It obviously runs afoul of the 14th Amendment. This is the part of the law the Obama administration is no longer defending.

This is the Seattle Times - the same paper that covered Liberace's funeral in an article headlined "Liberace packs them in to the end."

What's up with all the strike outs? Why not just, I dunno, rewrite the article?

Updated at 4:20 p.m. with response from Norm Dicks's office

What were they smoking? and did they have enough Doritos?

MaudlinMutantMollusk: The Republican's have been fighting Dicks all along

They only fight dicks in secret, in public they all condem homosexuality.

\I've never heard that euphamism before.

I don't know why they changed the headline. It was right the first time.
