Elections have consequences, chapter 74:

A 180° about face from Koochicrazy's stance on gay marriage by Virginia's new attorney general:

Now, I'm straight and have been with the same fabulous woman for 39½ years. You might make the argument that I don't even have horse in this race, and on the surface, maybe I don't. But Kooch and his ilk wanted to deny to others rights he enjoys, and for arbitrary reasons he took out of a book, and heard of Fox Noise and National Hate Radio. He's just as hot to trot on capital punishment and denying abortion rights (even though he is neither a vegetarian, nor an opponent of the death penalty, so don't even start calling him "pro-life," because he obviously isn't). I prefer the Constitution to Kooch's book (I'm not sure he realizes they are different).

You can be for marriage equality rights for gays if you're straight just like you can be for abortion rights even if you're not a woman. Just like the new Attorney General of the Commonwealth of Virginia.

Like Howard and Jim Dean said: Purple to blue! Now on to Texas (OK, remember the Alamo, but we remember Ann Richards and Molly Ivins a lot more fondly).
