What does Miss California have to say?

Perez Hilton is up in arms about Miss California's comments regarding the same-sex marriage debate. What did she say that was so offensive? let's look at the quote.

"Well, I think it’s great that Americans are able to choose one or the other. We live in a land where you can choose same-sex marriage or opposite marriage. And you know what, in my country, in my family, I think that I believe that a marriage should be between a man and a woman. No offense to anybody out there, but that’s how I was raised and that’s how I think it should be between a man and a woman. Thank you very much."

Might I point out this gem
"We live in a land where you can choose same-sex marriage or opposite marriage."
Opposite marriage? Is this like opposite day? or is it more like divorce?
'Honey, I love you.... NOT!'

Who cares what Miss California thinks? I don't fret over decisions of public policy wondering what Miss California's opinion on the matter is. Generally, saying that a position is endorsed by a beauty contest competitor is a way of making the opinion seem weaker, rather than stronger.

All signs point to bad idea

There is a series of races called the 24 hours of lemons. The idea is simple: you have 500 dollars to go buy a car, make it raceworthy and see how many laps you can accrue over the weekend. They give bonus points for attempting to race a car so wretched that no sane person ever would.
That said, I've found a 200 dollar yugo. I know I'm not going to race it, but the mental gymnastics of figuring out how I would go about making said car raceworthy are a lot more fun.

Oh the news

I find it interesting that one of the most recent challenges Obama has had to deal with is piracy. Not even the internet kind, I'm talking men with guns and boats. I suppose that's something else he has in common with the founding fathers.
