Steven Crane (The Open Boat) and Herman Melville (Moby Dick) would be proud. I am, too, because I really need such a voice to listen to today.

Imagine words evoking the same sense of the inevitable as being stranded on an island – where no one comes to your rescue. That’s how “there is nothing left to fall back on…Marriage equality is coming” must seem to these New Jersey Republicans. Inevitable. Overwhelming, like accidently falling from a bridge at midnight into a raging river and having no one hear your shouts for help.

I’m just happy to have lived for today to be a witness to their sense of hopelessness for these politicians. I certainly can sympathize because I’ve had the same feeling myself, but I’m going to withhold sympathy for now and relish the moment.

Thanks once again, Timothy.
