Obligatory election entry
Nov. 4th, 2004 10:21 amWow. I wasn’t on the computer much yesterday and it seems like everyone on my Friendslist posted something. I honestly don’t have much to add. Drinking is the correct response to four more years of Bush and all the marriage amendments passing, and I’m proud to see everyone is on the same page there.
I was out at dinner last night and sat next to a table of what I’ll stereotypically refer to as "bitchy queens", older white men in their 60s. They were blaming the election on the gay marriage caravan. Anyone out there know anyone who was on it? Supposedly, in town after town the gay community recoiled in horror and fear of the Winnebago full of married homos and pleaded with them not to hold a demonstration in their areas for fear it would help pass the marriage amendments and re-elect Bush. Because of this, the Winnebago drove through wide swaths of the country quiet and lonely doing not much but burning gasoline. What a great combination of liberal city arrogance and fearful liberal losing strategy!
Of course, the guys at the table were more the self-hating variety judging by the vehemence with which they scolded the pro-marriage folks instead of the gay haters. Besides, I know it’s not fair but I always assume everyone at a German restaurant is right wing except for me and my friends. Shockingly, I always seem to go to these restaurants with Jews and the Holocaust always comes up at least once before dessert. By the way, the Chronicle today actually said Bush got 20% of the gay vote, though cited no source.
Anyways, many people have written things about the election already so you all should go read them if you haven’t already.![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
slit( this image sums up some of it for a lot of us), nihilistic_kid, slanderous, rootlesscosmo, walktheplank pop to mind as thought-provoking even if I have disagreements with them as they do with each other. And it’s not like I have had time to even catch up on my friendslist though so I’m sure there are more.
Oh well, off to cut cheese like always.
