The highlight in grape or aubergine (lol) has to be the best quote all year!

Dating site to send marbles to Bush over gay marriage

In response to President Bush’s push for a constitutional amendment to ban same-sex marriage, Act for Love, a dating site for liberal activists at heart, has announced the “Million Marble March,” a campaign to send marbles to the White House.

“The president has clearly lost his marbles, and we want to help him find them,” said John Hlinko, founder of ActForLove.org.

The Senate last month debated a constitutional amendment to ban gay marriage, but it fell way short of the votes necessary to overcome a procedural hurdle. The vote was voted 49-48; supporters needed 60 votes to break the filibuster and 67 to pass the amendment.

In early July, ActForLove.org will hand-deliver the collected marbles to the White House. The organization will send one marble for each new member who signs up for the dating service and two for each person who signs up in search of a same-sex partner.

“We’re well into the hundreds, actually way over 1,000,” Hlinko said.

He added that he knows he will have to be careful when he approaches the White House with thousands of marbles. “I don’t know what happens these days when you try to deliver marbles to the White House, whether you’re shot on sight or what,” he said, adding that he believes his group will have to end up mailing them.
