Reverse the curse

I know Deval Patrick got off to a rocky start, what with the drapes and the Cadillac, but every time I see the headline "Patrick reverses Romney order" I breathe a sigh of relief. In this case,

Governor Deval Patrick has ordered the state Department of Public Health to officially record the marriages of 26 out-of-state gay couples whose unions Governor Mitt Romney had blocked from being entered into the state's vital records.

Speaking of Mitt Romney, did you know everyone's favorite sonofabitch presidential candidate is already choosing his running mate? Seems a bit premature to me.
