    Ed's 5'7.5" which isn't that short. But Stewart is 5'6" (probably a bit less), and that's in really short territory!
    I thought Eddie was taller until I met him. We're like the same height.

    Does that include his hair? Cause that's gotta be at least 4 inches.

    Franklin Graham, son of Billy Graham.

    Evangelist Franklin Graham said in a statement Thursday that President Barack Obama had "shaken his fist" at God when he affirmed his support for same-sex marriage.

    Graham, a North Carolina resident and the son of Billy Graham, noted the constitutional amendment passed by his state Tuesday to ban gay marriage, and slammed Obama for changing his position on the issue, calling it "a sad day for America."

    Obama announced Wednesday during an interview with ABC that he supported the right of same-sex couples to marry.

    "While the move to pass amendments defining marriage is relatively new, the definition of marriage is 8,000 years old and was defined not by man, but by God Himself," Graham said in a statement. "In changing his position from that of senator/candidate Obama, President Obama has, in my view, shaken his fist at the same God who created and defined marriage. It grieves me that our president would now affirm same-sex marriage, though I believe it grieves God even more."

    Graham has a history of criticizing Obama. In February, he questioned the president's religious beliefs, saying he was not sure whether he was a Christian. He also said it seemed as though "Muslims are getting a pass" from the Obama

    Who ever said that a female president would be "submissive" to her husband? Sounds like something only a reactionary tea-party person would say.

    I don't know if anyone in the world "worships" her... I don't think anyone takes her seriously in any way, actually. The media just likes to give her air/print time because they enjoy a good snicker.
    She's a total idiot... and everyone knows it.

    Good question but I found it to be funny.

    Don't take that as a poke at your posting the article. I was just miffed that we've spent a page (or 2) talking about Bristol freakin' Palin's opinion, on anything. Although she probably is smarter than her mom. :lol:

    I wonder IF some Republicans who are gay would reconsider voting for the current President and his decision on gay marriage?

    Wow. That TIME cover was tame compared to this. I didn't think the Time cover was a big deal but this is a pretty bold cover.

    He also outlined goals he hopes to accomplish under a second term, including the repeal of the Defense Of Marriage Act, which the administration has already stopped defending.
