Dirigo

If you haven't already heard, the state of Maine officially legalized gay marriage today...the fifth such state to do so. I was going to try and find out what Maine's state motto was so that I could make some clever pun off of it, but instead I'll just let their odd motto speak for itself. Dirigo. That's the whole motto. Dirigo. It's Latin for "I lead," which is too charming and perfect for me to make fun of today. Maine has led. Others will follow. Forty-five others, to be exact. And soon.
