Man in India Marries Dog As Atonement
NEW DELHI — A man in southern India married a female dog in a traditional Hindu ceremony as an attempt to atone for stoning two other dogs to death — an act he believes cursed him — a newspaper reported Tuesday.
P. Selvakumar married the sari-draped former stray named Selvi, chosen by family members and then bathed and clothed for the ceremony Sunday at a Hindu temple in the southern state of Tamil Nadu, the Hindustan Times newspaper said.
Selvakumar, 33, told the paper he had been suffering since he stoned two dogs to death and hung their bodies from a tree 15 years ago.
"After that my legs and hands got paralyzed and I lost hearing in one ear," he said in the report.
The paper said an astrologer had told Selvakumar the wedding was the only way he could cure the maladies. It did not say whether his situation had improved.
Huh. I did not expect Kucinich to be the candidate my views are most in line with. (though Edwards and Obama being almost as compatible makes me feel slightly more mainstream). Giuliani was far and away the closest Republican to my views, but all the Democrats except Gravel beat him.
Apparently, my views were closest to Chris Dodd's.
OMG incredibly bored. Everyone in my organization is off at an event, I'm still not done with the one incredibly boring document, and it's not even 3 o'clock yet. Help me.

Bam! Finished document!
I got Kucinich and Dodd, neither of whom I'd consider voting for, but then Obama. Those quizzes almost never reflect my actual views, because they isolate a few issues which may or may not be the ones that are really important to me (and don't give any option for, "I'm not sure how I feel on that issue because I can see both sides"), and don't really factor in any kind of big-picture assessment of whether or not I think the candidate in question would be effective in the role.
