Now the gay GOP is not happy. And Cheney's daughter is gay? ****************************************************** Gay Republicans to Run Anti-Bush Ad By LIZ SIDOTI, AP WASHINGTON (March 10) - A group of gay Republicans who supported President Bush in 2000 will air a television ad opposing a Bush-backed Constitutional amendment that would prohibit gays from marrying. The 30-second spot by the Log Cabin Republicans shows Vice President Dick Cheney at a debate four years ago saying, ''People should be free to enter into any kind of relationship they want to enter into.'' The ad begins Thursday in several states. The vice president also says: ''I don't think there should necessarily be a federal policy in this area.'' The words ''We agree'' then flash on the screen. Cheney's daughter, Mary, is gay. Last month, Bush called for quick election-year enactment of the amendment following a Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court ruling in November that it is unconstitutional to bar gay couples from marriage. Since the ruling, several cities and mayors have been conducting gay marriages in defiance of local and state laws. The Log Cabin Republicans' $1 million effort to defeat the amendment includes lobbying, grass-roots mobilization and print advertisements with the TV ads, which will run in Washington, D.C., Ohio, Missouri, Florida, Minnesota, New Mexico, New Hampshire, and Wisconsin. 03-10-04 1211EST Copyright 2004 The Associated Press.

Ted, Anyone see the clip from last nite's Canuck's game where Moore got sucker punched and now has a broken neck? Ice hockey is out of control. Finally saw it again after searching for quite a while on Google and Yahoo. Ouch, that's the kind of stuff I used to see on pro-wrestling, except it's all too real. Did you see Bertuzzi's tearful apology? The guilt is too much even for a toughened hockey player. His career is finished, though I get the feeling he shouldn't be the only one punished. It was pretty much the plan of the team to get revenge on Moore, it seems. Tenchusatsu
