Not Even Funny Anymore

From the Associated Press:
Votes Thursday as the Alabama Senate, on a 30-0 vote, gave final approval to a proposed constitutional amendment to ban same-sex marriages. Voting yes were 10 Republicans and 20 Democrats. Voting no were 0 Republicans and 0 Democrats. Not voting were 0 Republicans and 5 Democrats.
That’s it. When every single one of the 25 Democrats who enjoy the majority vote in the state legislature vote betray their party and their constituents by supporting this unconstitutional bullshit, it’s time for me to go. It was a Democrat who introduced the bill!
I’ve joked about my waning patience for the state’s political system before, but this camel just had his back broken. Time for any Alabamian who doesn’t believe that a new 3/5ths rule is in order for gays and lesbians to take this guy’s advice get the hell out of Dodge.
