Lynne Wishes to Maintain Literary License Lynne Cheney, author of SISTERS, has bravely taken on the task of being married to "Mr. Happy" all these years. In a news article she states she opposes her husband's CURRENT position on Gay Marriage prohibitions being the provence of the Federal Government. Dick's current position is otherwise known as a FLIP-FLOP for those keeping score.

"I think that the constitutional amendment discussion will give us an opportunity to look for ways to discuss ways in which we can keep the authority of the states intact," Cheney told CNN's "Late Edition."

Um, OK, the best way to keep the authority of the states intact is to attempt to take that authority away. I'll try to wrap my head around that one for a while. Oh, and an update from Mary Cheney held hostage:

The Cheneys' daughter, Mary, is director of vice presidential operations for the Bush-Cheney re-election campaign. She held a public role as her father's assistant in the 2000 campaign and helped the GOP recruit gay voters during the 2002 midterm elections. She has been less visible this year while traveling with the vice president or working at campaign headquarters in Arlington, Va. As the election nears, she will play a more public role, campaign aides say.

Hey, Mary, may I suggest you formally change your name to Mary "Vidkun Quisling" Cheney?
