Massachusetts, the first state to legalize gay marriage, sued the U.S. government Wednesday over a federal law that defines marriage as a union between a man and a woman.

As I'm sure you can all tell, this is huge news. Follow me over the jump for quotes from the article and a smidge of perspective.

President Obama,

I know you're busy convincing the Senate to pass the stimulus and you want us supporters to hold house parties, but what I really think you should do is talk directly to the American people. It's easy for the Republicans to convince people $800 billion is too much when the connection between the $800 billion and people's individual lives isn't clear. Talking directly to the people will fix that. Not in your weekly weekly radio and YouTube address (which doesn't get a lot of coverage), but in a speech.

I know you have plenty of speechwriters (and you're a great one yourself), but I've put a suggested one under the fold. Feel free to borrow it.

It's getting to be the scariest time of the year and the Republicans are running scared. They're turning to the politics of fear in desperation. Boogeymen like Bill Ayers and voter fraud have been brought out. The specter of racism looms over their rallies.

Ladies and gentlemen, it's time to bring out the thing that scares them the most: the truth.

How do we do that, you ask? We bring it to their door. We truth-or-treat.
