Lunedi Lunacy

A little late and offered without comment except to mention that J. J. Grandville attempted to publish this cartoon in 1829 as one of the final lithographs in his Les Métamorphoses du Jour. It was immediately suppressed - wonder if old J.J. was on to something?

Lunedi Lunacy

I'm sure almost everyone has seen Jill and Kevin Wedding Entrance Dance which as of this writing has been viewed 24,383,513 on YouTube. Well someone out there realized that in the United States the divorce rate runs at around 40% and produced this little gem:



And speaking of divorce, John Marcotte has started a campaign to further the cause of traditional marriage so dear to the hearts of the God fearing supporters of Prop8 in California. He wants to take things one step further and under the 2010 California Protection of Marriage Act ban divorces in the State. As his slogan so boldly states: You said "Til death do us part. You're not dead yet." It does appear that a few legislators are refraining from making comment on the proposed amendment?????

Thanks Uncle Jay - you explained it all to me!
