It's too bad Ethel is 95 years old. Bobby Jr needs an ass beating like five minutes ago.

As to whether or not paragraph 3 of the 14th applies to the president, this pretty much clears that up.

I laughed out loud at this one, at least 3 times. Was Alex the Great bisexual? Gotta research that one.

According to people who research this stuff Alexander was bisexual and men having sexual relations with men was not uncommon in ancient Greece. Here's a link (you'll have to copy and paste):

And I'm glad I made you laugh out loud at least 3 times. I'll shoot for four next go round.

It's interesting that bisexuality is erased or censored from historical accounts. From Plutarch's "Lives of the Noble Greeks and Romans" apparently Alexander was said to have smelled very sweet and pleasant which was a sign of godlike attributes.

I think "normal" is an elusive concept and what was acceptable at one point in time becomes unacceptable in another. Same goes for location: there are still countries where it's illegal to be gay. Frankly, I'm not sure there is a "normal" there's just a sliding scale of what's socially acceptable and that changes all the time.
