The government (or those who want to run it) has been doing so many stupid things lately it's hard to focus on just one thing.

Oh, and then we've got the whole Howard Stern suspension thing, which while not directly related to the government, was undoubtedly prompted by the FCC's recent heavy breathing over Janet Jackson's exposed nipple.

It truly staggers the mind. But since my normally apolitical wife Sue mentioned the marriage thing the other night, I'll go with that.
