This year, with all five major Democratic hopefuls rushing to affirm their pro-choice credentials, Bush might try to move toward the center as November approaches.

Their jubilation and "pride" in the reprehensible act of homosexual intercourse also proves, beyond all doubt, that their definition of self is irrevocably linked to the most base of all human instincts: copulation.
