Dancing with dogs in dresses must be stopped

Since flag-burning and same-sex marriages aren’t exactly causing any discernible problems yet, as in war, we see that President George “Mission Accomplished” Bush believes in a strategy of preemption, to nip trouble in the bud. Thus the White House wants new amendments on flag-burning and same-sex marriage.

Once the Republicans, and some opportunistic/cowardly Democrats, pass the bills calling for new constitutional amendments to ban burning the American flag as a protest and outlawing same-sex marriages, what’s next?

Then what if an even crazier man puts on a dog costume and dances with another man wearing a dog costume, or -- horrors! -- a cat suit?

What that sort of gender-and-species-bending spectacle could lead to is just anybody’s guess. Dancing with dogs in dresses must be stopped before it gets started. Then, speaking of preemption, there’s…
