CBS reports that the conservative governor of Rhode Island has vetoed a measure to allow domestic partners, both gay and straight, to make funeral arrangements for each other. Since Democrats hold a veto-proof majority in the state legislature, this action was mainly intended to a) please the homophobes in the audience, and b) lash out at gays and lesbians in committed relationships who would like to be able to claim the bodies of their partners after death.
The jerk's name is Don Carcieri and he styles himself a defender of marriage, because, you know, my heterosexual marriage would be brought to its knees by my gay friends being able to arrange each other's funerals.
I dub him today's Pucker King. All hail to the giant asshole.
