A rose by any other name

I imagine this will be a boon to men named Pelosi.

(AP) - SACRAMENTO-When couples marry in California, the bride simply signs a marriage certificate to take her husband’s surname. The other way around? Not so easy.

Under legislation approved Monday, men would be granted the same rights to change their surnames as women. It would eliminate the often time-consuming and costly process of going to court to change a man’s last name.

    You’ve edited parts of posts of mine on the grounds that they were essentially cheap shots at a politician. In what way is this not a cheap shot at Nancy Pelosi?

    This is very much a cheap shot at Nancy Pelosi. Thing is, I call the shots on what is or is not permitted on CR, just as you get to call the shots on your blog. I did label the post as humor, and I found it funny in that it was based on a California law. Your mileage may vary.

    I do not pretend to be unbiased, merely civil. I do not think I overstepped the bounds of civility. Speaker Pelosi is a well known public figure, and one who deserves to be mocked for running her own foreign policy of kowtowing to thugs, a military policy of American surrender, and for ignoring gross financial corruption among Democrats in Congress after running a campaign promising to clean up a “culture of corruption”.

    To each their own, but does this legislation provide for a place to store the man’s testicles during this relationship?

    Your eloquence and civility are exceeded only by the breath of your understanding. I humbly defer — thanks for your response to my comment.
