DOMA IS DEAD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  Marriage equality for everyone!  Drinks all around!!!  *dances*

And I may have written in "Stephen G. Rogers" for State Senator.  The two actual candidates' ads annoyed me and I couldn't actually remember anything about them, ergo Cap seemed like a suitable choice, though he's most likely ineligible, being a life-long New Yorker and all.

You guys remember Rep. Todd Akin and his "legitimate rape" comments from ( Read more... )

The Senate and the House passed a bill to end "Don't Ask, Don't Tell."  Obama is supposed to sign it next week, though there'd be a 60-day waiting period before it would take effect, but still, that's pretty cool.

I'm not technically on the spectrum nor am I in the military, but... *dances like crazy*

Oh my God, THE ELECTION IS OVER!!!  Yes, the GOP took over the House of Representatives, but I'm just really glad the whole ridiculous thing is done with.  NO MORE ROY BLUNT ADS!!!  Seriously, that's worth celebrating no matter what party you support.

Moving on...

First, a thing about the election:  THANK GOD IT'S NEARLY OVER!!!  I am so freaking sick of political ads that I could scream loud enough to break glass.  Since I live so near the Mississippi River, I get ads for candidates in two states.  I didn't even realized until last week that Alexi Giannoulias is running for Senator of Illinois, so I wouldn' ( Read more... )

Um, Ted Kennedy died.  Well, you already knew that, but I guess I'm supposed to mention it.  He did some cool things policy-wise, but my mother always drummed into my head that he wasn't a good guy because of the Mary Jo Kopechne incident in 1969, when he drove his car of a bridge into a river outside Hyannisport, Massachusetts (where he lived) and ( Read more... )

Okay, for those of you who haven't heard (though I doubt that's a lot of people), Illinois Governor Rod Blagojevich was arrested yesterday for selling Barack Obama's Senate seat.  I found out in my Traditional Grammar class right before I took my final exam.  Yeah, political corruption is a great backdrop for a huge test.

Anyway, if that wasn't ( Read more... )

The election is over and Obama won!  THANK GOD!!  Seriously, all of those crazy political ads were driving me crazy.  On Monday night, I was watching Saturday Night Live's "Presidential Bash '08," and I saw ads for both candidates for state treasury, and I found them so obnoxious that I wrote in "Noah Bennet" for that office.  And people kept ( Read more... )

That's it!  I'm sick of politics!  I'm sick of the speculation, the advertising, the name-calling, the obnoxious reports about every little thing that the candidates do or say!  I am removing myself from society from the next few days and living in a cave/under a rock/in a deep hole in the ground!  I just need a cave, hole or rock that has enough ( Read more... )
