Good comeback to the fundy politicians

Jamie Raskin, professor of law at American University, testified as to why the amendment should not be passed.

At the end of his testimony, one of Maryland's most insane ultra-far-rightwingers, republican Senator Nancy Jacobs, stood up and shouted: "Mr. Raskin, my Bible says marriage is only between a man and a woman. What do you have to say about that?"

To which Mr. Raskin replied: "Senator, when you took your oath of office, you placed your hand on the Bible and swore to uphold the Constitution. You did not place your hand on the Constitution and swear to uphold the Bible."

Damn right!

Looking for a source on an invocation

Has anyone seen or heard this before?

"Thou hast called and I am here
I now call my consort to appear.
Through flesh and bone and love divine
I call thee home--stand by my side
King Stag and Lover I summon thee
To fill my cup by land and sea
Green Man and Hunter, Blessed Sire
By wind and flame do I desire
My Lord and Love now joins with man."

The only site I could find with a google is this one, and yes, I've contacted the site owner to inquire.

On a completely unrelated note: It was noticed last night that the HP and I have essentially the same hairstyle.
