Because Obama is going to indoctrinate America’s schoolchildren with the socialist, Marx-hugging message that they should stay in school, work hard and take responsibility for their learning!
And I absolutely want people who are stupid enough to believe that to keep their kids out of school that day. For every Wingnut, Jr. who doesn’t have the “work hard and do well” message reinforced, and who’s taught that education is a Commie plot, my kids have that much more of an edge. Rock on, wingnuts!
Now that Vermont has legalized same-sex marriage by overriding a gubernatorial veto, the bigot squad is going to back off, right? After all, their real beef was with imaginary activist judges, and this was a decision made by elected officials.
Oh, wait, the National Organization for Marriage begs to differ:
But we take heart in knowing that this vote was not representative of what Vermonters understand marriage to be. We know that the Vermont Legislature did everything in its power to avoid allowing Vermonters to vote directly on the future of marriage.
No doubt, if Vermont had legalized same-sex marriage through a straight up popular vote of the people, these relics would bemoan how it wasn’t really the will of the people, because, oh, I dunno, homosexual lobby brainwashing satellite rays from beyond the stars? Certainly it can’t be that NOM and their ilk are losing the culture war.
They’re right about concern for their grandchildren, though. It must be a terrible thought to know, somewhere in your cramped, reptilian brain, that the kindest thing your grandkids might say about you is “they couldn’t help being like that, it was the times they grew up in”.

I wanted to watch it online, but was outvoted, so we went to Grandma’s and watched it on an actual TV. (So retro.) We let the girls stay home from school to see it. What’s to say? It was awesome, although I think the kids got a little tired of us explaining who all the old people were.
The California Supreme Court overturned the statutory ban on same-sex marriage. (Large PDF of the opinion here.)
The forces of evil will be right back at it, though. Today we party elegantly–tomorrow back in the trenches.
Edit: Lynn points out that all three branches of government are in agreement on this. Take that, pseudo-originalist whinebots!
