Hmmmmm

Within a 48-hour period, the NJ Legislature passed a law denying public employees the right to negotiate many conditions of their working lives and the NY Legislature passed a law allowing an oppressed minority the basic Human right to marry. Clearly, the traditional NY attitude of condescension toward NJ is correct after all.

ETA: The NYT has a fascinating story on what it took to get NY's marriage equality bill passed. I recommend it to anyone interested in what our Republic has become.

Sigh. I'm so sorry about the NJ crap decision. That just sucks.

But...yay, NY!
