Alex Discovers the Most Ignorant Masshole in the Bay State

Tom of KnowThyNeighbor.org relates the story of his husband’s encounter with what may possibly be the most ignorant American on the continent — and certainly the most ignorant denizen of the entire Commonwealth of Massachusetts:

Alex just went to Dunkin Donuts to pick up some iced coffee to bring back to our gallery. He parked our Jeep next to a car which sported a John McCain sticker. Of course our vanity plate reads, ” EQL MRG” which is lost to many, I must add, but not to the 70 year old man in the “John McCain” car. This elderly man got out, looked at our license plate and asked what it stood for. Alex responded, “Equal Marriage.”

The man’s face got all twisted and he said, “I knew it, well that will never happen here!” Alex asked the man if he ever reads the newspapers. He said, “yes I do and all they keep writing about is that we will get to vote on it.” Alex said, “well I think I need to inform you that we have had equal marriage in Massachusetts for over 4 years now, and recently too in California.”

The man turned bright red, stomped his feet and while my dear husband witnessed this man’s reaction, Alex could not help himself but to add one more zinger…”it couldn’t be so bad if you havn’t even noticed!”
