Why gay marriage, getting high, and going to Cuba will soon be legal.
Slate Magazine — ... that made 3.2-percent lager legal again, some months ahead of the full repeal of Prohibition. I hope Barack Obama will come up with some comparably witty remarks as he presides over the dismantling of our contemporary forms of prohibition—laws that prevent gay marriage, restrict cannabis as a Schedule I Controlled Substance, and ban travel to Cuba. "You may now kiss the groom," perhaps, or—a version of the comment he once made about smoking pot—"I inhaled—that was the point." [more ...] ...

Morning Links
The Agitator — Frank Rich compares Glenn Beck and Sarah Palin to “Stalin in full purge mode.” Way to out-cartoon the cartoonish, Frank. Jimmy Kimmel asks real, live black people what sorts of jokes about Obama are acceptable. First video sort of sets up the premise. Second video is pretty funny.

A conservative military officer reports that Iraq is a cesspit of corrupt.....Americans. The Catholic Church is reaching out to Anglicans who think their own church isn't bigoted enough. Should we care? Jacob Weisberg says the victory of freedom is inevitable. Here's a stunning collection of World War II ...
