Larry Wilmore had a nice riff on this on last night's The Nightly Show.

Yeh well...it's still Alabama. And if you get on the wrong side of Fester and Bubba, you still end up chained to the Silverado and drug down the road till your body falls apart.

There are some third world countries and we have some third world states. Few counties are still denying licenses.

The Chief Justice, Roy Moore, is a serious wing nut with presidential aspirations. Taking positions against things like same sex marriage and against the separation of Church and State are red meat for the southern Republican base.

Huckabee reminds us this morning that the president was against it.

And the surface of the sun is a tad warm.

Well, it's Today and it's here. There were pro-s/s-marriage demonstraters at the county offices where I re-registered my vehicles today and I gave them a thumbsup and had a chat with them before going in. Coming out and getting ready to drive off I was approached by a reporter and interviewed for the Anniston Star local paper, owned by a renowned local family of Progressives. There was also a smaller group of protesters formed while I was inside.
Myself and my partner of 25 years will have to decide if this is overall advantageous for us, now or later, probably in conjunction with good sympathetic legal advice.

Might be worth waiting to see what the Supremes do. If they uphold the constitutionality marriage equality, states like Alabama aren't going to have a lot of options.
