Like how I skip the President's weekly radio address. Don't think I've ever listened to a single one of the things. . . any old way, this week, by way of The Poor Man: Remember Who The Base Is, the dirty vicar sketch President's Radio Address:

For ages, in every culture, human beings have understood that traditional marriage is critical to the well-being of families.

Well, ok, I cut a lot out. If you have a high tolerance for talk of protecting and preventing and activist judges, hit the link and knock yourself out. The whole thing was over the top, but that bit I did quote. . .

It's the "every" sort of breaks the spell. Since just one attested example of polyandry

In social anthropology, polyandry refers to a marital practice in which a woman has more than one husband simultaneously.

In rural regions of India, Nepal, China (in particular, Yunnan province), and surrounding nations, fraternal polyandry, in which two (or more) brothers marry the same woman, is culturally accepted. Polyandry is also the accepted norm in a few African societies.

sort of disproves that.

Which doesn't mean our President is lying, mind you. Just that he was given bad intelligence. This happens to him a lot.

There were other examples I could have used for this, of course. And I could'a pounced on this this instead:

When judges insist on imposing their arbitrary will on the people, the only alternative left to the people is an amendment to the Constitution -- the only law a court cannot overturn.

But I'm sure the NAACP or Congressional Black Caucus would have mentioned the same issues to him, when he spoke with either group.

I'd say I can't wait to vote against him (rather than for Kerry, more's the pity) in November, but it looks like I might have to wait. So much good news lately.
