Bush Proposes Constitutional Amendment
Washington - pResident Bush announced today that he will propose a consitutional amendment banning KISS weddings. KISS weddings are a growing phenomenon where fans of the rock band wear KISS makeup during the ceremony. pResident Bush announced that the threat such marriages posed to traditional marriage called for a constitutional amendment, "Our society faces a grave threat which shakes its very foundations. Activist judge, and by activist judges I mean judges who make rulings I don't like, have taken to allowing KISS weddings. Despite the fact that there isn't actually a body of law banning KISS weddings, such rulings by activist judges constitute judicial activism, a naughty phrase I like to use a lot to talk about judges who do things I don't like. It is not the place of judges to interpret the law. That would constitute judicial activism. These activist judges cannot be allowed to interpret the law in ways I don't like. Have you people forgotten September 11th? I'm in charge now."
pResident Bush went on to explain the need for a constitutional amendment. "Look, if the judical activist branch of government is going to do things I don't like thats a perfect reason for an amendment. Previous amendments expanded freedom, like the right to free speech, ending slavery, giving women the right to vote. It's about time we made an amendment for all history limiting freedom, that would be fair and balanced. Our constitution has to protect us from activist judges interpreting the law in their activist ways. Let's be clear, activist judges are bad, judges who do things I don't like are activist judges. Let me say it again, activist, activist, activist!"
"Marriage is in jeopardy. Laura and I can't possibly continue to have a loving,lasting marriage knowing that somewhere someone is getting married in a style different from our own. The whole institution is ruined for us. America is not about doing things your own way. We need an amendment that tells everyone to do it my way. That will protect our freedom from activist judges who make activist judicial judgements in activist ways."
pResidential spokesman Cott Mistellin added, "These KISS weddings are ruining marriage. Legalizing KISS weddings will force us to legalize polygamy, incest and bestiality. I have no proof of that, it's just one of those things that's true, like W's service in the national guard. We don't need proof, we just need to say polygamy, incest and bestiality whenever we say KISS weddings, so you hear polygamy incest and bestiality in the same sentence. It's a better way to get your message across than judicial activism which threatens to destroy the sanctity of marriage in this country."
Mr. Mistellin then excused himself and flew to Vegas, where he married a stripper in a drive through chapel, woke up, got an anulment and began writing a constitutional amendment banning hangovers.
