Maple syrup, green mountains and gay marriage
Yesterday morning, Vermont's state legislature overrode Governor Jim Douglas' veto of the gay marriage bill, making VT the fourth state in the US to legalize equal marriage rights. C'mon, New York, let's shoot for number five.
"Life's dirty. Life's unclean. It's birth, it's sex, it's the intestinal tract. One big squishy, unsanitary mess. It never gets any cleaner either. You know, dust to dust, worms crawl in, worms crawl out, right? Even though we know that, we still walk the walk, we still live the life. We're like a bunch of little kids. Little kids, you know, we jump in this big old pond of mud and we're slapping it all over our face, rubbing our hair all down our backs and we're making these glorious, gooey pies. That's us. We're fabulous."
