Random Thoughts: Paul, Pope, and Mice
So Rand Paul came out for my solution for marriage a couple days after my editorial came out. Now to get him to be for nuking the moon.

They’d have chosen a pope by now if the cardinals in there didn’t keep wasting their time making Harlem Shake videos.
Never thought about being pope. How much does it pay?
Probably would be funnier if you just replaced part of the movie title with “Pope,” but that would be a long hashtag.
Pope Francis? Now everyone is going to think I’m naming my new son after the pope.
I don’t even like the name Francis, but if I got stuck with it on official documentation, so will my son.
So the question on everyone’s mind: Will the new pope get Stripes references?
Why can’t there be a Pope Robert so we can call him Bob Pope?
I thought “Is the pope Catholic?” was supposed to be a truism but seeing the left react to the pope’s views, I guess it’s an actual question.
The reason cartoon mice are so lovable is that cartoons never depict all the pooping.
Used to pay a quarter a game in an arcade, and with microtransactions I think they’re pushing us back towards that.

Why not just officially name your boy “Frank” – you can still add the suffix Jr. or III or whatever.
End the cycle of abuse!

So, this new Pope Frank is anti-Marxist. How refreshing.

Agreed, Jimmy — much as I loved Ben 16, he used the awful phrase “social justice”–which, beyond allowing competition, keeping the peace, and enforcing contracts, is pinkodom.

I’m glad I’m not the only one that thought of the Stripes thing…

It is not possible to privatize marriage.
It’s just another Libertarian Utopian fantasy.
First you have the legal issues. There are children and WHO is legally recognized parents of a child. There are Legal issues concerning property, inheritance, ect.. It’s impossible to “get the state out of the marriage business”.
Second if you took the “state out of the marriage business” it would have the opposite effect that Utopian Libertarians fantasize about. In fact it would increase the role of the state due to the fact that everything would have to be legally REDEFINED.
what counts as a valid marriage? who own the property legally?
who gets the house? who gets the dog? who get Alimony?
who is legally responsible for children born or adopted?
who is legally responsible to repay creditors?
The court system would soon be overloaded with idiotic libertarian arguments that have no answers, legally that is. There would be a million new laws and regulations just regarding children to write. Government would be even MORE involved than they are right now.
Also you have the rights of the children who cannot defend their rights themselves. When a child is conceived naturally by a married couple, the child is biologically and legally the child of both parents. Both parents are automatically responsible for that child.
Who gets the children in the case of a Gay divorce? Where does the child live and who is legally, financially responsible?
What this really is about is OPPOSITE DAY. If the Republican Party supported Gay Marriage then the Libertarians would manufacture arguments against Gay marriage.
If the Republican Party supported legalizing Heroin (like Ron Paul) then the Libertarians would manufacture arguments against legalizing Heroin.
If the Republican Party argued against spending Tax Dollars to combat Child Pornography (like Ron Paul did) then the Libertarians would WANT TO spend Tax Dollars to combat Child Pornography. Oh and I get it. Child Pornography is not mentioned in the Constitution!
Rand Paul’s position here proves that he is just another Libertarian that has no practical answers

DamnCat,
I suggested that to SarahK but got vetoed. Francis is a stupid name and no one ever wants to be called by it!

I don’t know, Frank. The talking mule didn’t seem to mind the name. I, too, hated my first name (Wilma) to the point I refused to answer to it. Too many Flintstones jibes in grade school.

@8 – Actually, Wilma used to be a common & fairly popular name before the Flintstones wrecked it:

Lighten up, Francis.

Holy moley, I’m slow. Sorry, Frank. I’m going through a backlog here.
