"Goodnight, ladies"

Girls have been dancing with each other for years. In high school, it is a frequent occurrence, because boys of that age are often reluctant to dance out of a fear of embarrassment. In the case of Constance McMillen, an overzealous school in Fulton, Mississippi, canceled the whole prom because she added a lesbian component to two girls dancing together.

Most people's objection to homosexuals involves the perceived aberant nature of their sexual acts, but I doubt Ms McMillen planned to engage in them on the dance floor, so the ACLU was able to get $35,000 from the school that overreacted.

I would suggest, however, that the money be divided equally among all those who were deprived of the pleasure of their prom, specifically all those who had planned to attend, and their dates. In this, the Obama Age of Punishment, let's at least distribute the reparations equally.

EXTRA: From what we've seen so far, Chelsea Clinton has more class than both of her parents put together. I hope that her upcoming wedding is exactly what she needs to provide her with a lifetime of happiness.
A local chef in the Clinton's hometown was asked if he had the gig, and he said, "I'm not confirming or denying anything to honor the privacy of my clients." Sounds like a "yes" to me.
