Governor Schwarzenegger...equipped to handle gay nupitals! Licenses in stock!

California is "well-equipped" to perform gay nupitals, according to Governor Schwarzenegger, in response to a directive put forth by a Federal Court on Wednesday in respect to the thorny issue of same-sex marriages in California.

Huh?

When Judge Vaughn Walker overturned the ban on gay marriages, Protect Marriage - an appellant in the proceeding - argued that permitting gay nuptials at this stage of the legal proceedings would be an administrative hardship for the state because higher courts they have appealed to could later invalidate the marriages.

So, the obvious reaction was forthcoming from the Court.

Would it be a hardship?

Quick on the uptake - though initially reluctant to jump into the fray - the Governor fired off his response (with a touch of villainous glee, I expect).

"As the Court has pointed out, California already issued 18,000 marriage licenses to same-sex couples (before the ban was imposed by virtue of Prop 8) without suffering any resulting harm," Schwarzenegger's office eloquently noted in their written arguments to U.S. District Chief Judge Vaughn R. Walker.

"Government officials can resume issuing such licenses without administrative delay or difficulty."

If my memory serves me well, though, didn't ARNOLD actually veto a bill in recent years which would have ushered California out of the dark ages and into a golden era of equality for all (straight and gay) in respect to tying-of-the-knot ceremonies down at City Hall?

So why - pray tell - has the Governor now chosen to dust off his own tuxedo and take a stand for the inalienable Constitutional rights of same-sex couples?

An upcoming election, dahlinks, of course!

OMG!

And, not to forget, that the racks in San Francisco and West Hollywood are well-stocked with dozens of tuxedos in - delicious plum, vivid sky blue, rich shades of wine, and pristine white (for the virgins in the crowd) too.

Patent leather shoes, penny loafers?

No problem, will that be cash or Visa, Sirs?

In tony Beverly Hills, there will also be a myriad of fashion accessories to scoop up, too: rainbow cravats, silk pocket puffs, ivory gold-trimmed cuff-links (with matching studs (!), and more ruffled silk shirts in a dizzying array of pastel colors than you can shake a big stick at (wink wink)

Downright spiffy, you girly-man, you!

If we could only sort out the snags in medical marijuana!
