My take on the recent news headlines.

As If AIDS is not already a problem in Africa:

The South African parliament on Tuesday approved new legislation recognizing gay marriages _ a first for a continent where homosexuality is largely taboo.
The National Assembly passed the Civil Union Bill, worked out after months of heated public discussion, by a majority of 230 to 41 votes despite criticism from both traditionalists and gay activists and warnings that it might be unconstitutional. There were three abstentions.

The bill provides for the “voluntary union of two persons, which is solemnized [sodomized? ed.] and registered by either a marriage or civil union.” It does not specify whether they are heterosexual or homosexual partnerships. Breitbart

Felines roasting on an open fire:

A man pleaded guilty in the deaths of his ex-girlfriend’s four small kittens, which were tossed into a fire pit after the couple argued.
Robert Tomlin, 22, of Smithsburg was sentenced Monday to 1 1/2 years in jail for aggravated animal cruelty. Washington County Circuit Judge John McDowell suspended the sentence except for the 134 days Tomlin has served since his arrest. Breitbart

Marines refuse talking Jesus as toys for tots donation (no word on whether they will keep the exploding Mohammad):

A talking Jesus doll has been turned down by the Marine Reserves’ Toys for Tots program.
A suburban Los Angeles company offered to donate 4,000 of the foot- tall dolls, which quote Bible verses, for distribution to needy children this holiday season. The battery-powered Jesus is one of several dolls manufactured by one2believe, a division of the Valencia- based Beverly Hills Teddy Bear Co., based on Biblical figures. Breitbart

Vatican Cardinal says building a wall is inhuman then retreats behind the huge wall that protects Vatican City.

A senior Vatican cardinal on Tuesday condemned the building of walls between countries to keep out immigrants and said Washington’s plan to build a fence on the U.S.-Mexican border was part of an “inhuman program”. al-Reuters
