Winston, the little gay dog, on Marriage

Winston, the little gay dog, is watching CNN very intently. Sitting on top the sofa in the sunshine wearing a sweater vest with the words "Homophobic is soooo last Millennium" he yips at Goddess to keep quiet. Goddess could care less and continues licking herself.

On CNN, Supreme Court Judges are debating whether to legalize gay marriage or punt it to the states. They're acting just like Republicans and Democrats not getting anything done at all. Clarence Thomas appears to be wearing headphones and could be listening to the "Theme from Shaft" while the others debate.

"You do it. I'm not  going to do it."

"Well, you'd better do it because I'm not going to do it."

"What about Proposition 8?"

Clearly fed up Chef Justice Roberts exclaims, "Proposition this!" and does his best imitation of Michael Jackson.

On the floor is a sign that Winston, the little gay dog, has been working on. I read it.

"Once gay marriage and marijuana are legal, I'm not inviting any of you against it to the wonderful parties I'll be throwing."

Placing it back on the floor, I stare at Winston, the little gay dog, who is obviously irritated and he ignores me and continues watching the debate in disgust.

In support, I sit down beside him.

Goddess stops licking herself and joins us. Winston, the little gay dog, steps on the remote control and changes the channel.

Joel Osteen is talking now. "Homosexuality is a sin. I didn't choose to be straight."

We all look at one another pondering what in the hell that means?

Winston, the little gay dog, steps on the remote again.

Warren Buffet is talking. "The average wedding cost $25,000. Allowing gay marriage would stimulate the economy in a way the Government never could."

We all nod.

The television set is turned off and Winston, the little gay dog, starts licking where his balls used to be. Goddess stretches and meanders outside.

After contemplating both of them for a moment, I opt to follow Goddess outside.
