Some things just can’t wait for Tuesday’s pre-game show. SB 121, which would outlaw discrimination based on sexual orientation, is #1 on the Senate agenda for Tuesday. Predictably, Sen. Bob Venables (D-Mars) has lobbed in three amendments, only one of which has even a passing acquaintance with sanity. He’s probably got a few more being drafted. No matter, the only result will be further embarrassment for one of Delaware’s most embarrassing public officials.
He might just cry on the floor, though, so get yer seats early. He’s fast becoming the Liza Minelli of the Delaware General Assembly, both in terms of his only coincidental and occasional relationship with reality and his propensity to tear up (although when he does it, it’s more like Dick Vermeil). If you’re lucky, he’ll use the word ‘dog’ during debate, but he’ll pronounce it ‘doag’, as he always does.
Regardless, there’s nothing better than being present for history when the outcome is not in doubt. Definitely worth the trip.
