Bush Draws Laughs on 'Splash Day' Question
AP Headlines
By Associated Press
GALVESTON, Texas — President Bush drew laughs from his audience Tuesday when he asked whether the Galveston area still hosts "Splash Day."
The annual beach party that dates to the 1950s does live on -- but now as an unofficial gay and lesbian event.
In town to speak about Social Security, Bush told the crowd: "I want to thank the mayor for being here -- Lyda Ann Thomas greeted me coming in. I said, 'Do you still have Splash Day?'"
The crowd laughed. "You have to be a baby boomer to know what I'm talking about," Bush said. The crowd laughed again.
Splash Day once marked the end of school and the beginning of summertime fun. The city backed off from it many years ago when it turned a little too wild, says Christy Benson of the Galveston Chamber of Commerce. It later became a party day for gays and lesbians.
Drawing another round of laughter, Bush said: "I'm not saying whether I came or not on Splash Day.  I'm just saying, 'Do you have Splash Day?'"
Bush: has a man-date
From Washington Times interview with DeLay:
Mr. Hurt: Have you ever crossed the line of ethical behavior in terms of dealing with lobbyists, your use of government authority or with fundraising?
Mr. DeLay: Ever is a very strong word.

Okay. One of us needs to get a silver bullet or wooden stake or whatever the hell else it will take, and kill this thread once and for all. It's been unnecessarily resurrected more times than Jason Vorhees, and all anyone's doing on it is either trolling, counter-trolling, or making wild interpretations of what our fellow posters are "really" trying to say, without anyone actually trying to discuss this issue seriously (and if anyone is, it's getting lost amidst the trolling, in which case a new thread devoted to serious discussion of gay marriage is probably called for anyway).
