It's the magical fertility fairy!

[apocalypsos]

I'm sure you've all heard by now about the Louisiana justice of the peace who wouldn't marry an interracial couple because he was very worried about the children they'd have, quite possibly -- as many people have already pointed out -- that they might go on to do nothing with their lives, like ... say ... become the fucking President.

That said, I don't know about the rest of you, but my mother told me a lovely story about the part of her wedding ceremony when the Magical Fertility Fairy came down from on high, blessed my parents' marriage with a reading from the Penthouse letters column, and bopped them both on the head with a pink sparkly dildo to activate their latent fertility.

My mom is always very quick to point out when she tells that story that she slipped the Magical Fertility Fairy a fifty-dollar tip to see if she could gestate the first kid a little bit quicker, and that's why after DEFINITELY being conceived on my parents' honeymoon, I was born a healthy seven pound baby girl five and a half months later.

I personally can't wait until my wedding ceremony, as I can't wait until the Magical Fertility Fairy flips the circuit breaker on my uterus. I hear that "menstruation" business is a lot of fun!

It's funny, I've yet to actually *read* an article about that justice of the peace, but I've seen plenty of pull quotes of him explaining why he's not racist. MANY pull quotes. Dude, if you've put that much thought into trying to justify why you're not racist, YOU MIGHT BE RACIST.

I am beginning to get an inkling of where your sense of humor comes from.

As for that judge...as a friend of mine pointed out, if he wants to stop miscegenation in Louisiana he's about 300 years too late.

Many angry man wouldn't marry interracial couple

Not to fixate on anything minor, but am I the only one who thought that AP headline was a little ungrammatical?

We know an interracial couple who live in New Hampshire -- they told us (laughing!) that people purposely crash their shopping carts into their shopping cart when they're at the local grocery store. I said I didn't think it was at all funny, but they said, "You gotta laugh; if you don't, you'll cry."

That's really funny; my mother tells the exact same story! Amazing!

D'you know, this explains a lot. Turns out the Magical Fertility Fairy must have gotten confused by my having two weddings and she couldn't figure out where to find me!

Yeah, I heard that story. Boy, it's a good thing that our society no longer has any racism, isn't it?

I liked the part where he was like, "No, it's cool! No dereliction of duty here. When a couple like that comes in, I just ask someone else to take them."

Also, even if that "I fear for your children" claptrap were true, couldn't that be considered an attempted preliminary abortion? He's trying to prevent their kids from being born, after all. I thought his kind frowned on that sort of thing. Or maybe he just thinks of it as Eugenics, which, um. Ew.

NEWSFLASH: Celebrities aren't allowed to marry. Think about the children.

Now that's something I could support.

He needs to be visited by the Magical ClueSlap Fairy.
