there's not an iota of kindness in you
OHMAN there are some great bush/kerry rants out there on this angst-ball we call "livejournal."
First, Fuck you Ohio, you had the chance to make a difference, you blew it, you are dead to me.
Second, fuck you 51% of America, if you idiots weren't so busy watching the in flight movie you would see that the plane is getting really close to crashing into a mountain about now, and the only ones that have parachutes aren't going to be sharing them with your stupid asses. So stop voting like you are rich because guess what? The old crackers with all the money aren't going to let you have any of it no matter how nice you are to them or how much you pretend to like them; have fun working at Walmart since that will be the only employer left in a few years.
Third, I really hope there is an afterlife, because I am going to be laughing my ass off at the religious shit heads that will be on the elevator down because they forgot their Messiah's most important and biggest lesson. I would laugh at the irony if it wasn't more tragedy than anything.

Hey kids, next time you want to throw up a nice election, nominate a candidate who you can vote for on his own merits. Instead of the terrible catchphrase "Anyone but Bush!". And also, nominate a candidate who can actually reach out and nab swing states in effective campaigns, not someone who walks and talks like one of the tree people from Lord of the Rings (how old is this joke anyhow?). Kerry had a chance, a great chance, and you have to admit that he blew it. He could've toppled Bush easily and he didn't. Ralph Nader isn't even available to kick around this time.
In slightly different news, I foresee and increase in the "Why the Long Face" LJ icons featuring John Kerry in the more callous right wing bastions of the LJ fort.
So I guess my general feelings for this election can be summed up easily:
1. Surprise that Kerry lost. Whoa. Silent majority, is that you?
2. A burgeoning annoyance felt towards those who lament America and swear that they are catching the next dog sled up to Canada. May I remind you that just because Canada has the joys of poutine, doesn't mean that it doesn't have it's share of assholes as well. Assholes and people that disagree with you are universal, little Jimmy. Most likely? Moving isn't going to help anything besides your martyr complex.
3. A little bit of worry. Having any two parties in control of the Congress and the White House is extremely worrying. I've always believed in the power of bipartison bickering Gridlock, which prevents most laws from being passed. Without it, I'm feelin' a little bit wary.
4. And last but not least, a little tingle of joy at seeing the collective gnashing of teeth on the bastion of sanity known as LiveJournal. Drama is loud and obnoxious, but not mutually exclusive from FUNNY.

last night a couple of my republican school-mates were acting all giddy and saying things like "there will be a big fat check...OFMONEY...coming to your house now, so be grateful.." HAHAHA all types of fat checks come to my house. "the world is going to be at PEACE now" yes, all types of peace.
i made the best Magnetic Fields CD ever. it's so good. i will burn it for anyone who wants it. i listened to Magnetic Fields and Stereolab all the way down to Galloway. I say this every time i travel, but i will never ever wake up before 6:45 again. dawn is pretty but it makes me feel like crap. anyway, i enjoyed it all a lot. i slept all the way down and back, and went out for breakfast. spilled water all over my pants. went to Stockton... i think i really want to go there. it's the fifth best public liberal arts college in America, and the first in the state. and... i dont know, i get a good vibe from that place. it's really really laid back and down to earth. I was talking to the Literature department head for a while and she was very cool and said she loved it because it was a "hippy school." and then my mother chimed in with the "OH! ALAINA'S A HIPPY TOO!" that was uncomfortable. i'm not a hippy. but it was really nice and i think i'm going to go there. i'd still come back on most weekends because i hear it's pretty dead there. and, i dont know. i liked it. I had a very scary dream last night and woke up soooo relieved. it was just weird and too personal/realistic. last night me, meg, ju, and mark sat around the computer watching Salad Fingers. that stuff's crazy. and creepy. and disgusting. ::shudder::
