Don't Count Your Chick-fil-A's Before They Hatch

By Zamboni

We cats think it's interesting that coverage of yesterday's "Chick-fil-A Appreciation Day" — promoted by Fat Mike Huckabee, who's looking like he's packing away too much fried food himself lately — is juxtaposed with a brand-new poll out of the Old Line State.

To wit: Marylanders favor their state's new marriage-quality law, 54 to 40 percent. If this margin holds, voters there will ratify the law via referendum in November.

Now, we cats do not consider even this wide lead a slam dunk. We well know that often, people want to appear open-minded when questioned by a pollster, but are perfectly happy to indulge their bigotries in the privacy of the voting booth. Still and all, we'll take it — because it's a reminder that the folks who stuffed themselves with chicken and waffle fries on Wednesday are on the wrong side of history.

Oh, and don't forget to show up with your favorite same-sex partner for tomorrow's National "We'll Show You, Dan Cathy" Kiss-In.
