Something is amiss.
A week and two days has passed since the state of California began issuing marriage licenses to same-sex couples, but the sky is still in place, and generally some shade of blue.
People are still dying and paying taxes, the sun is still rising every day, north is north and south is south and Don Imus is saying stupid things.
And somehow, the monolithic institution of marriage has not crumbled into a great pile of rubble and crushed beneath it the legitimacy and sanctity of every union between men and women in America.
What is going on here? I was promised calamity and catastrophe and the end of all things good and decent.
