As Lobstermen go, so go the nation...

Maybe everyone has seen this Saturday Night Live clip, I don't know, but it fits my "delightful" guideline.


Yes, the accent is more Norwegian bachelor farmer than Maine coast, but they got the details right, like Mainer's being low key (not like folks from New Hampshire), and registering their wedding at L. L. Bean.

Best of all is the recognition of Maine's passing by popular vote (the first state to do so) the right of gay people to marry each other, just like other couples who happen to be straight. The Maine gay rights movement has a very long history, and the right to marry could not even be imagined at the beginning.

Yea, Maine!
