Massachusetts governor seeks compliance on same-sex marriage
Massachusetts governor Mitt Romney's top legal counsel told the state's justices of the peace on Sunday to resign if they are unwilling to preside over same-sex marriages beginning next month. Daniel Winslow said Romney expects the justices to comply with the law, even though the Republican governor opposes gay marriage and has sought to delay its court-ordered legalization on May 17. "Governor Romney understands and respects that people have very strong personal views both for or against same-gender marriage," Winslow told justices who had gathered to learn about the impending changes. "But on this point, the law is clear."

2. He Is A Piece of Sh*t
I just can't understand how anyone in this state could possibly vote for the guy. I am sick of these Republican Frat-bags telling people how to live!

4. Animals not allowed - just Person "A", and person "B"
after getting form, filling it in, and processed by clerk (you are a resident yes or no), you are pronounced "married" by the Justice of the peace

not something I would think they needed classes across the State for!

:-)
