On a happier note...
Much wailing and gnashing of teeth in my friends list over Prop 1 in Maine. Understandable. Note, though, that not everywhere is filled with jerkitude. Washington state appears to have approved Ref 71 (referendum vote to certify our new domestic-partnership law) by about 5 percentage points, with the yet-uncounted votes coming mostly from King County (where Seattle is, i.e. where most of the "yes" votes are living). We also are on track to reject our version of TABOR by about the same margin.
It's quite pretty and really doesn't rain as much as you think. (About as much as Pittsburgh.) And we have tasty fishies. And killer whales. And coffee. Feeling depressed about living with bigots? Come over here!
