Gay couples lined up before dawn on Friday to apply for marriage licenses after an Iowa judge scuttled the state's law against same-sex marriage. Two Iowa State University students, Sean Fritz, 24, and Tim McQuillan, 21, got their license along with a waiver bypassing the usual three-day waiting period. Then they rushed off to find someone to tie the knot for them in a bid to become the first in the state to do so -- and succeeded when a Unitarian minister united them in a brief ceremony in the front yard of his Des Moines home.

Their parents must be so proud.
Those crazy activist judges are just trying to help the Republicans in 2008...
I can’t wait till I hop the border to Missouri. This state’s sliding into the turd bucket.
It’s amazing what a little finger-fidgeting and toe-tapping can do.
Electing pro-life leaders is paramount of we want to preserve the gains made by the conservative revolution of 1980
I didn’t know all those cornfields were so full of homos..........
Their parents must be so proud.

I recall the feeling in my guts when I saw my first death in Viet Nam...they probably feel the same way.
Imagine the scene .. all those tapping feet, luggage positioned to obscure the view of the sidewalk from the street, hands reaching along the curb.
I knew there was a reason I had/have no desire to ever live in Iowa.
Fools.
Wait until the pool boy breaks up with the MD and demands spousal support.
“Wait a minute - he broke up with ME - and I have to pay him money?”
Some jokes just write themselves.
Stuart, by The Dead Milkmen
You know what, Stuart, I LIKE YOU. You’re not like the other
people, here, in the trailer park.
Oh, don’t go get me wrong. They’re fine people, they’re
good Americans. But they’re content to sit back, maybe
watch a little Mork and Mindy on channel 57, maybe kick
back a cool, Coors 16-ouncer. They’re good, fine people,
Stuart. But they don’t know ... what the queers are doing
to the soil!
You know that Jonny Wurster kid, the kid that delivers papers
in the neighborhood. He’s a foreign kid. Some of the neighbors
say he smokes crack, but I don’t believe it.
Anyway, for his tenth birthday, all he wanted was a Burrow Owl.
Kept bugging his old man. “Dad, get me a burrow owl. I’ll never
ask for anything else as long as I live.” So the guy
breaks down and buys him a burrow owl.
Anyway, 10:30, the other night, I go out in my yard, and there’s
the Wurster kid, looking up in the tree. I say, “What are
you looking for?” He says “I’m looking for my burrow owl.”
I say, “Jumping Jesus on a Pogo Stick. Everybody knows
the burrow owl lives. In a hole. In the ground. Why the hell do you
think they call it a burrow owl, anyway?” Now Stuart, do you
think a kid like that is going to know what the queers are
doing to the soil?
I first became aware of this about ten years ago, the summer
my oldest boy, Bill Jr. died. You know that carnival comes into
town every year? Well this year they came through with a ride
called The Mixer. The man said, “Keep your head, and arms, inside
the Mixer at all times.” But Bill Jr, he was a DAAAREDEVIL, just
like his old man. He was leaning out saying “Hey everybody,
Look at me! Look at me!” Pow! He was decapitated! They found
his head over by the snow cone concession.
A few days after that, I open up the mail. And there’s a pamphlet
in there. From Pueblo, Colorado, and it’s addressed to Bill, Jr.
And it’s entitled, “Do you know what the queers are doing to our
soil?”
Now, Stuart, if you look at the soil around any large US city,
there’s a big undeground homosexual population. Des Moines, Iowa,
for an example. Look at the soil around Des Moines, Stuart.
You can’t build on it; you can’t grow anything in it. The government
says it’s due to poor farming. But I know what’s really going on,
Stuart. I know it’s the queers. They’re in it with the aliens.
They’re building landing strips for gay Martians, I swear to
God.
You know what, Stuart, I like you. You’re not like the other
people, here in this trailer park.
Anybody still think we don’t need a Constitutional Amendment to fix this idiocy? Look at the damage just ONE judge can do in Iowa.
I wonder why the state didn’t get the ruling stayed until they could appeal it. This is ridiculous.
This is just one more example of judicial tyranny. Illegal legislation by activist judges has been the number one tool forcing social liberalism upon the U.S.
Four decades of constitutional destruction by these thieves has resulted in tangible moral decay.
This judicial rewriting of law has taught much of the country to ignorantly embrace social liberalism while still pretending to be in step with American values, law and history.
This has barely made the news. Last night every local station played the arrest recording of Craig but I didn’t see one report on the judicial tyranny in Iowa.
Missouri is good. But keep in mind they only passed an amendment protecting the word marriage. A judge can still order up homosexual marriage by another name.
