A Toast to Governor Lynch and the New Hampshire Legislature


I'm knocking back a few of these tonight in honor of the New Hampshire Legislature, and Governor John Lynch, for having the courage to follow the will of the people and allow gays to marry in the State of New Hampshire. The "Live Free or Die" state is now the sixth state to allow same-sex marriages, and the debate is currently going on in many other states and the Federal Government.
Still at question is whether or not livestock become one herd in a gay marriage in New Hampshire, or should the parties maintain separate herds, protected by prenuptial agreements and expanses of barbed wire.
Massachusetts addressed this issue when it passed legislation allowing gay marriage. They banned cows because, as Barney Franks (D-MA) said on the floor of the Massachusetts State House, "Cows are farty. And they look terrible in heels."
Obviously, I'm just keeping it light. Congrats to the real beneficiaries here today - the people of New Hampshire, because they believe in equality and in keeping religion and other mystic BS out of discussions concerning basic rights.
