Goddamn it's a slow news day today. Colin Powell is busy trying to reassure various countries that they're not on some sort of hit list, when they know damn well they are (I really feel sorry for Colin Powell some days). George Bush is insisting that the U.S.A. will find WMDs in Iraq if it takes them forever, and all the obvious implications thereof. And so on and so forth. However, I did get one good chuckle when re-reading this article about the same-sex marriage B.C. court decision. And here it is, folks, one of the dumbest quotes ever made in public:

"Institutions are not about rights. They are about serving society. And marriage does a very good job of that," said Michael Martens, a spokesman for Focus on the Family.

Institutions are not about rights? What the fuck does that mean?
