Maine to Become Fifth State to Allow Gay Marriage

Well, would you look at that, California? A state known primarily for lobster rolls and Stephen King just signed into action a bill allowing same-sex marriage. Maine Governor John Baldacci had this to say after signing the landmark bill, "In the past, I opposed gay marriage while supporting the idea of civil unions. I have come to believe that this is a question of fairness and of equal protection under the law, and that a civil union is not equal to civil marriage." What startling logic and clarity, Baldacci. Kudos to you.

In related DOMA news, their spokesperson, Miss Claifornia's Carrie Prejean, is a liar who showed off 17-year-old titties in exchange for cash. Which, oddly enough, renders her a wee bit awesome in our eyes. So, kudos to you, too, Carrie.

"wedge-issue wednesday"

i love it! maybe we'll make it a regular thing. thanks!

Only if we can follow it with Non-Issue Friday.

In this town, your non-issue is my crusade!

I've got to admit it's getting better
a little better all the time
I have to admit it's getting better
it's getting better since you've been mine

Another reason to love Maine... Lobstah rolls, beautiful open space, and gay lumberjacks can finally tie the knot. Excellent.

Years ago, I had a roommate from Maine -- who gave me, as a present, a calendar of hot shirtless lobster fishermen from Maine. If only I had saved that calendar ...

shouldn't that lobster be pink now?
