“This administration is populated by people who’ve spent their careers bashing government. They’re not just small-government conservatives—they’re Grover Norquist, strangle-it-in-the-bathtub conservatives. It’s a cognitive disconnect for them to be able to do something well in an arena that they have so derided and reviled all these years.”

Don't get any ideas, Mr. President

And I thought the idea of banning gay marriage was bad:
Zanzibar has banned gay sex and set prison terms of up to 25 years for those who break the law, officials said on Friday.

The law sets a penalty of life imprisonment for sodomising a minor. The penalty for homosexual sex between men is 25 years' jail and seven years for lesbian sex. That compares to death for murder in Zanzibar and 30 years for violent robbery or rape.

Any idea why lesbians get off with less time than their male counterparts do? Adn please don't say agile tounges.
