Todd McComb suggests that the Republicans should put on their thinking caps and craft an amendment that is worded strongly against "personal expression that defiles the nation's values", and thus ban gay marriage AND flag-burning at the same time. The trick will be to sell this as a necessary restriction of the First Amendment, because God knows we're not safe when there's married gays and flag-burners on the streets.

Yeah. You know, I went up to Massachusetts the other day, and they made me marry a guy! I didn't know what to do!

And I kept getting cinders in my eyes from all the burning flags around. Ouch!

Then I woke up.

But I'm a little concerned about that amendment. If it passed, would it mean that nobody could propose any more stupid Constitutional amendments? That doesn't really seem fair.

Back in college, some friends assembled, as happens, a gaming society. You know, role-playing games. Not State Of Nevada games. Anyway, the first president of a society realised that it was highly unlikely that he'd ever have anything approaching a quorum, and decided to make use of this fact by including the following two clauses in the constitution:

• The constitution may not be changed except by a quorum of not less than 75% of the society's membership.
  
  and, much further down:
  
  
• The president of the society shall bite the head off a live chicken while standing naked in a mountain lake on the Winter solstice.

I'm fairly certain that's still on the constitution.

I used to wonder if my teachers read all my assignments. So I would insert jokes.[1] And they commented on it.

Apparently, Todd McComb should not be let out of his house without parental supervision.

He doesn't get out much, anyway.

I must note that he was being facetious, by the way.

Wow. That goes on my list of "Events which would cause me to move out of the country."
