I checked my life insurance policy's suicide clause before posting this.

From the Washington Monthly blog.  Senator John Conryn (R-TX):

"It does not affect your daily life very much if your neighbor marries a box turtle.  But that does not mean it is right. ... Now you must raise your children up in a world where that union of man and box turtle is on the same legal footing as man and wife."

I had a momentary flash of insight: I know at least one native Texan on my friends list who probably would find a box turtle preferable to the Senator from Texas.  I refuse to answer any questions on the grounds that said Texan knows exactly where to send the assassins...

A box turtle would be smarter than Conryn too, as well as more sexy and a better companion.

Here's a Texan who agrees with you. :)
