CBS News | Bush Smiles On Gay Marriage Ban | December 17, 2003 11:49:53: President Bush said that he could support a constitutional amendment to ban gay marriage. [...] Previously, though Mr. Bush has said he would support whatever is “legally necessary to defend the sanctity of marriage,” he and his advisers have shied away from specifically endorsing a constitutional amendment asserting that definition. But on Tuesday, the president waded deeper into the topic, saying state rulings such as the one in Massachusetts and a couple of other states “undermine the sanctity of marriage” and could mean that “we may need a constitutional amendment.”
What was Britney thinking? (CNN, Tuesday, January 6, 2004 Posted: 12:26 PM EST): On Saturday, the question for Britney Spears was, "Do you take this man to be your lawfully wedded husband?" Today, the question is likely to be, "What were you thinking?" The pop star and a childhood friend, Jason Allen Alexander, were married about 5:30 a.m. Saturday morning at a Las Vegas, Nevada, wedding chapel, reportedly after watching a video of "The Texas Chainsaw Massacre." By midday Monday, a Clark County judge had signed an annulment order, and the marriage was over. Total time of wedded bliss: 55 hours.
Ah, the sanctity of marriage between one man and one woman. Who knew you could achieve complete and total civil sanctification in but 55 total hours?
