Dumb Laws in Rhodes Island
Any marriage where either of the parties is an idiot or lunatic is null and void.

Don't you have to be an idiot or lunatic to get married in the first place?

And from Alabama, the state that just banned same-sex marriage:
Section 30-1-3
Issue of incestuous marriages not deemed illegitimate.

The issue of any incestuous marriage, before the same is annulled, shall not be deemed illegitimate.

(Code 1852, §1945; Code 1867, §2334; Code 1876, §2673; Code 1886, §2310; Code 1896, §2840; Code 1907, §4880; Code 1923, §8994; Code 1940, T. 34, §3.)

In other words: "Incestuous marriages are legal."

And in Tennessee
Constitution of Tennessee
Article XI: Miscellaneous Provisions: Section 14

The intermarriage of white persons with negroes, mulattoes, or persons of mixed blood, descended from a negro to the third generation inclusive of their living together as man and wife in this State is prohibited. The legislature shall enforce this section by appropriate legislation.

That's right folks, "Interracial marriages are illegal."

And in Nebraska (this is just kind of funny really)
42-102
Minimum age; affliction with venereal disease, disqualification.

At the time of the marriage the male must be of the age of seventeen years or upward, and the female of the age of seventeen years or upward. No person who is afflicted with a venereal disease shall marry in this state.

That's right, "Persons with gonorrhea may not marry."

His son, Nicholas Berg was the man decapitated on video and shown to the world. Michael was interviewed on the phone with CNN. It's a damn good interview.

Michael Berg talks about the death of his son and al-Zarqawi

My favorite part:
Well, you know, I'm not saying Saddam Hussein was a good man, but he's no worse than George Bush. Saddam Hussein didn't pull the trigger, didn't commit the rapes. Neither did George Bush. But both men are responsible for them under their reigns of terror.

I don't buy that. Iraq did not have al Qaeda in it. Al Qaeda supposedly killed my son.

Under Saddam Hussein, no al Qaeda. Under George Bush, al Qaeda.

Under Saddam Hussein, relative stability. Under George Bush, instability.

Under Saddam Hussein, about 30,000 deaths a year. Under George Bush, about 60,000 deaths a year. I don't get it. Why is it better to have George Bush the king of Iraq rather than Saddam Hussein?
