Quote of the Day (Newt Gingrich, With His 4th No-Adultery Pledge)
"I will also oppose any judicial, bureaucratic, or legislative effort to define marriage in any manner other than as between one man and one woman. I also pledge to uphold the institution of marriage through personal fidelity to my spouse and respect for the marital bonds of others."(emphasis added)— Presidential candidate (and breaker of the Seventh Commandment) Newt Gingrich, in a letter to the Iowa-based group The Family Leader announcing his support of the group's positions, quoted in Chris Moody, “Newt Gingrich Takes His Fourth ‘No-Adultery Pledge,’” The Ticket blog, December 12, 2011
Legend has Henry of Navarre, late in the 16th century, shrugging off his Protestant faith by converting to Catholicism with the words, “Paris is worth a mass.” The same cynicism and shamelessness is present in Newt Gingrich’s agreement to a document that he has already violated in his two prior marriages. But are you honestly surprised anymore by what he would do or say in order to be elected?
I'm a librarian (no, NOT a "cybrarian" or "information scientist" or any of the other trendy terms the profession has come up with), as well as a freelance writer/researcher; my political leanings are contrarian, much to the dismay of friends on the left and right, and so I will give anyone looking for my vote exactly what they deserve -- the back of my hand
