So, President Obama has finally realized that gay people have as much right to get married as anybody else does. Well good for him, though he should have done it sooner. Not in the sense that it was the morally correct thing to do (though there’s that, too), but in the sense that it would have been politically more expedient to come out (so to speak) and say it a lot sooner. Whether this will help, hurt, or have no affect (I’m betting on either no affect – as Barney Frank said – or maybe some slight help; homophobes weren’t gonna vote for him anyway) on his reelection remains to be seen, but it must be heartening to those who support marriage equality after the horrid North Carolina thing. Now if Barry would just quit it already with his obsession of keeping pot illegal.

We’d get no help on the pot front from a President Romney (who is – or at least was, back in his all-boys prep school days – apparently a bit of a dick), either. He says pot is a “gateway drug.” But then he’s Mormon, so he’d probably want to make beer illegal (which, if I had a Super PAC, is a rumor I’d be starting: Mitt Romney wants to take you beer away!).

Funny how these hypocrites always talk about “big government” and the “nanny state” and how the government should keep its nose out of our business, but only when it comes to universal health care or taxing rich people or regulating the dumping of shit in the water and stuff like that.

Big government seems to be fine when it comes to telling you who should sleep with or what substances you can ingest when you wanna take the edge off a little bit.

Bastards.
