Now if you're Al Gore you can afford $10 a pop for squiggly-pig-tailed fluorescent light bulbs. But if you're mainstream America two or three kids mom and dad working outside the home that's not a very good deal.

President Bush has a record of cutting taxes has provided a prescription drug benefit for seniors has upheld the Second Amendment and remains committed to stopping liberal activists judges who are redefining marriage.

My own early crusade for same-sex marriage for example is now mainstream gay politics. It wasn't when I started.

Well marriage doesn't function in the way it used to in terms of deciding our fate but it's in our heads and it determines a lot of our actions. Like right now if you think about gay marriage - and they just started having the first gay marriages in New York - it shows what a potent idea marriage remains for people.

Over the years the political establishment has frowned if a mainstream politician mentions marriage.

An ideal wife is one who remains faithful to you but tries to be just as charming as if she weren't.

The secret of a happy marriage remains a secret.

Life itself still remains a very effective therapist.
