Jesus Christ, light the torches!
May. 9th, 2012 01:16 amIn a move that surprises absolutely nobody, voters in North Carolina denied the legalization of gay marriage by a 2-to-1 margin. Way to overcome your stereotype, South.
So let's put other things to a public referendum that obviously should require majority approval to exist. Should the blacks be allowed to mix with the whites? Should the women really be allowed out of the house except to go shop? Should they get to vote? (Wait, what? We can DO that now?) Are Mexican immigrants full humans, or just 2/5ths? Should loosely acquainted males and females be allowed to create between them instant legal romantic partnership contracts based on horniness and too much alcohol - and then dissolve them at will?
Oops, sorry - a crazy one slipped in there. My bad, my bad ...
In loosely related news, the Teabagger-backed Crazypants beat out the longtime, respected Republican senator in the Indiana primary. Now Dick Lugar is far from a liberal's wet dream, but what put him on the outs with the New GOP** was exactly that he had any truck with Democrats and Independents and was, at times, the worst of all C-words. That's right; he was known to Compromise. Which, as we know, was the downfall of our Constitutional Convention in the 1780s and the pussiness that has kept us from true superpower status for the last century. Now that we're getting rid of it, maybe we can get down to finally making something out of this Third World hamlet called USA!
**Like New Coke, only much shittier-tasting and not put out of its misery nearly soon enough.
