I really wasn't going to post about the election...

But I'm a lemming, so I may as well. First, I find it interesting that the only places I've ever seriously considered moving within the US all voted for Kerry. And secondly, behind the cut tag you will find a comment that I originally made in dreadpiratetait's journal. I figured I should put it here as well.

I would just like to send out a big FUCK YOU to all the people in the midwest and the south who voted Bush. Because I, who sit in a building less than a block away from one of the biggest terrorist targets in these United States every single weekday, am thrilled to have an increased opportunity to die for your idiotic, assinine, and bigoted ideals. Really. Thanks. Here's to another four years of paranoia fueled intolerance!

I'm also glad your homes are safe from terrorists and queers, and that you have more of a chance to rescue unborn children that you will then abandon to fate. Idiots.

Hey, we in Washington did our part! As did Oregon and California. Your definition of "Western" is as flawed as the definition of "Midwest" you're complaining about.

Normally I wouldn't feel the need to point out that what I'm doing here is a bit of gentle teasing, but this morning I'm not sure how anybody is taking anything. I'm feeling a little thin-skinned myself.

West Coast was awesome. As was the East Coast. But we didn't do too badly out here in the Midwest either.

I've don't know anybody who considers Nebraska or Utah "Midwest"... they usually get called the western states. No biggie over definitions crossing wires, though. I just wanted to raise my hand and remind y'all that we were one of three regions to show any sanity yesterday, so don't kick all our asses just because Ohio couldn't get off its #$%@$!! fence. ;-)
