Posting this here, only 'cause I don't know where else to post. Trust me, it ain't funny.
A response to Sarah Palins "I don't judge" the homos when asked by Charlie Gibson.
December 29, 2006, Governor Palin Vetoed an Alaskan House bill that would "prohibit the commissioner of administration from extending benefits to same-sex partners of state employees". Boo!
The Alaskan Supreme Court had allowed these benefits to be extended on December 19, 2006. Yeah! Good for the Gays (all three of them in Alaska. At least two of them have each other).
Sometime within the next 10 days, the Alaskan State Legislature quickly passed a bill saying that the commissioner of administration could deny those benefits. Boo! Bad for the Gays.
But, Governor Palin vetoed the bill. Stating that the Alaskan Supreme court would find the bill unconstitutional. Yeah, good for the Gays! Thanks Sarah!
"But, no the'aanks".
Of course, she goes on to say, in the veto "Please know that this veto does not signal any change or modification to my disagreement with the Supreme Court order. It is my intention to work with the legislature and to give the people of Alaska an opportunity to express whether these benefits should continue.

Suffice it to say, any gay man who decided to wear a moose costume for halloween the next year, quickly disrobed at the sound of helicopters overhead. (Oooh, naked Alaskan men. Yeah!)
