Congratulations to all the men and men and women and women who will be married today at 5:01PM.
Though Massachusetts has already been doing this for years, it’s a smallish state. It doesn’t get huger than California. Big equal times ahead.
But wait. Did you know there are laws in Delaware and Wisconsin that if a gay couple gets married out of state, they can be held on criminal charges once they return? Apparently true. The law in Wisconsin permits authorities to punish offenders with a fine of up to $10,000 and nine months imprisonment for marrying that special someone.
Yes, if Steven and Dave from Milwaukee go to California and get married and then return to work the next day, the police can haul them off to prison. The good people of Wisconsin voted for it. These are the people you share a military with.
When the crops have all failed from warming, flooding and pestilence, and the civil war breaks out over who deserves the last few grains of wheat, I say let this wretched union be torn asunder to become at least three or four countries.

I am so for that! I've wanted Maryland to secede since 2004. Or become part of Canada. I'm serious.
Can we keep Oregon and Vermont and Montana? To hell with most of the stuff in the middle. Or better yet, let's just do it like that New Yorker's view of the US, where it's California on the left, not much land in the middle, then New York on the right. I'd be totally fine with that.
Wow. I can't believe this. How utterly useless to waste taxes on such a law.
How is that law even legal? C'mon Wisconsin supreme court--get on this!
