Box turtle day

OK, so Tom Frank has a point-- every so often, the fundamentalist right throws itself behind some purely symbolic issue that doesn’t have a prayer of becoming law.  But lost in all the sound and fury about same-sex marriage is the simple fact that Senator Cornyn was right:  it really doesn’t affect your daily life very much if your neighbor marries a box turtle.  My neighbor has a marriage license for his box turtle, and it hasn’t affected me a bit.  Except that it did convince me to get a marriage license for my pet bee Eric.  Actually, he’s half a bee.  And I love him.

Ho ho ho, tee hee hee,
Eric the half a bee.
I love this hive employee-ee-ee
Bisected accidentally
One summer afternoon by me
I love him carnally.

And my license is signed by one Rick Santorum of Pennsylvania’s Ministry of Housinge.
