A friend* pointed me to an interesting divide in the Maine election results: While only 47 percent of Maine voters opted to keep same-sex marriage legal, a full 59 percent voted to legalize medicinal marijuana. By my expert analysis, that means that a significant percentage of Maine’s voters are raging potheads who hate gay people.
Here are the latest election results:
Overturn same-sex marriage:
Yes: 53 percent
No: 47 percent
Legalize Medicinal Marijuana:
Yes: 59 percent
No: 41 percent
So, which residents of Maine are fighting for their right to get high while expressing their disregard for the civil rights of gay people? My friend floats a theory: Frat guys?
* In order for me to steal his idea, he insisted that he be described as “sexy.”
