thebratqueenOkay, I'm already up to the part where I'd like to be drunk. Stupid having to go to work tomorrow. Stupid strep throat that made me take so many sick days so I felt guilty about asking for tomorrow off.
The red states make me sick to my stomach. Not that any of them are a surprise, but it's the same sick to my stomach feeling I get when I remember that yes, people really do hate me and want me to go to Hell even if they've never met me, because my religion and/or sexuality is enough for them to decide. (I don't mind it as much when people hate me after having met me. After all, there's plenty of reasons 8) ) Political point being, it's quite a dose of vertigo to realize that there's such a fundamental difference between how I see reality and how other people see it. And I'm not talking about the cool new U2 song either.
The newscasters are already struggling for stuff to talk about, and Dan Rather's busting out the Southernisms ("Let's put some more gravy on these biscuits" - Okay!) I turned the TV off for a breathing into a paper bag break, and will try again in a little bit.
BTW? Ed Gillespie on CNN trying to play the wounded party in terms of voter intimidation? Man oh man, is THAT brass balls the size of alpha centuri. I'm sorry, but when YOUR party has sent letters out to people telling them that Democrats are supposed to vote on November 3, the only thing you are allowed to do is SHUT the FUCK UP. Thanks and please drive through.
In the meanwhile, we pray.
