Congratulations to the next President, Barack Obama!

It was amazing to watch the returns on TV and then to finally have the West Coast close their polls and wrap it up for Senator Obama.  It was incredible to watch as he kept racking up the electoral college votes from the previously too-close-to-call or too-early-to-call states too.  It was nice to see the old McCain emerge in his concession speech

Nope, add California to the long list of those states happily endorsing intolerance. Even though it hasn't been called officially yet, just look at the tallies. But thankfully, every other completely ridiculous entry into marriage by a man and a woman is still preserved...marriage has been saved!!! As has divorce and adultery! Whew. That was a close one.

I guess I spoke too soon. Sorry. Well....marriage isn't all its cracked up to be anyways. Trust me!

And....leave it to the lawyers to find ways to make money...find a trust and estates attorney to tie all your worldly belongings to your truly beloved....and then its just like marriage without the annoying white dress.

In all seriousness....sorry. I totally would have voted against it if I was a CA voter.
