Today, our very busy U.S. Senate, which obviously has many very important issues to consider, will consider the frivolous notion of a constitutional amendment with the intent to prohibit same-sex marriage. This is the same senate that recently attempted to give away a piece of our great country by passing their version of an immigration bill whose only benefit to anyone appears to be votes for incumbents, presumably in gratitude for legalizing an estimated twelve million border-hopping aliens and giving them the right to vote. However, unlike the immigration bill, which concerns a consequential issue, the stupid issue of a constitutional ban on homosexual marriage under the thinly veiled guise of “defining marriage” doesn’t deserve the senate’s time. This is an obvious attempt by the senate and the administration to pander to their Ãœberchristian fundamentalist constituency, in what appears to be a desperate effort to salvage the endangered 2006 mid-term election. This Turkey objects to wasting the public time and money on this nonsense.
The Hose
The Turkey is on the two-year plan with respect to colonoscopies, due to a chronic condition called polyposis. So, it was with the usual unbridled delight that I retrieved my telephone messages one day last week, hearing a reminder from my colorectal surgeon’s office that it was time to schedule my biennial fun encounter with the six-foot hose. However, this is not a rant about the joys of this invasive procedure. Instead, it is another installment in my ongoing series of bloviations about the health care morass.

Not a Problem
Who starts these things? Instead of “happy to be of service” or “my pleasure,” we are now subjected to the negative angle: “not a problem.”
