Mary had a baby!

"Mary Had a Baby" is the name of an old spiritual. It's also a tune that may be hummed in the Cheney household . Mary Cheney, the lesbian daughter of the Vice President of the United States, is having a baby with her partner Heather Poe. The Christian Right is, of course, outraged that while there is, no doubt, a sperm donor, there will be no father in this household. Soulforce very helpfully points out that mainstream science would predict that a child raised in the Cheney-Poe household will do very nicely even if she/he may confront from time to time some angry members of the Christian Right.
