We were up all night, kept awake by the noise from the rolling around going on inside of Martin Luther King Jr's grave. So that gave us time to think about a few more things that are super annoying about the National Organization For Marriage's offensive decision to lift and co-opt MLK's "Give Us The Ballot" speech for their current war against same-sex marriages in Minnesota:

It came as a great beacon light of hope to millions of disinherited people throughout the world who had dared only to dream of freedom."
