Time for new slogans

I'm still trying to digest the details of the momentous SCOTUS decision on marriage equality this morning.   Have just finished downloading the 103 page text of the majority opinion (39 pages) and the dissents (64 pages) -- which required one trip to Office Depot for more computer paper and then another trip when I discovered that the extra toner cartridge on the shelf was a used one instead of new.    So I haven't had time to read it all in detail.

And then there are all the crazy responses coming from the outraged "victims" of this heinous act committed by SCOTUS -- especially the chief pandering frauds Mike Huckabee and Bobby Jindal.    Jindal, the former biology major and Rhodes Scholar who now pretends to deny the truth of evolution, even went so far as to suggest that we just "get rid of the court."

So I'll have more to say about all this after a few more days, savoring the joy before dissecting the carrion of the vultures.  In the meantime, here are a couple of bits to chuckle about -- and think about.   

The first was picked up in an email from the Obama for America email, and told to me by my daughter Barbara -- suggesting that we no longer need to say "gay marriage":  
"It's just called marriage now."
And the second was a choice bit from Jon Stewart, saying 'we've solved this one, now let's move on.'
"Forget traditional marriage;   let's preserve traditional sea-levels.
