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 And secondly, behind the cut tag you will find a comment that I originally made in dreadpiratetait's journal.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.

Re: Midwest?

No, you're right. It's true. I tend to only think of Ohio, probably because that's as far as I've ventured toward the Midwest. Actually no, Illinois is part of the Midwest too, and I've been there. See, there's the problem right there, I don't know where the boundaries are. Well, that and that I didn't want the Southerners to be all sad that I was bashing them alone. Heh. The South scares me.

I've got to say though, I was really hoping that Michigan and Ohio wouldn't do the banning gay marriages thing. I mean, I hoped none of them would, but I was more surprised by those two, because I know sensible people there.

I was talking to my Dad about the ban on gay marriage (he lives in Michigan) and he was so depressed about it. He's like, "This is just EMBARASSING. It's like living in a state where they've outlawed marriage between black and white people. We're all going to look like IDIOTS in a few years!"
