get married! ...that is all.

So a third pro-marriage journalist has acknowledged receiving money from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services to promote marriage. Bush and company have now officially told everybody to cut it out.

As creepy as this all is, I find two facts especially bizarre: One, that each of these people have independently stated, in one way or another, that they didn't see anything wrong with getting this money, promoting the Bush platform in the course of their journalistic work, and not telling anybody about it.

And two, that the Bush administration is shelling out tens of thousands of dollars to promote "marriage". Just... marriage. Get married people! I don't care who you are or what you do, just find someone and marry them. Quickly. Get divorced a couple months later, I don't care.
