I am really shocked that it is going to pass in California. I thought I lived in the liberalist, bluest of states! Sure, we all know Orange County wasn't going to go for it, but WTH happened to the rest of my damned state?
You know, I just... I woke up, and I looked in the mirror, and I thought, hey, what's with all the sin? I need to change. I'm... I'm dirty. I'm, I'm bad with the... sex and the envy and that, that loud music us kids listen to nowadays.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Hell if I know.
I just really don't get it.

I'm v. happy that Indiana went Dem.
Last night I didn't get to bed 'til two. My mistake? Leaving the tv on because they kept replaying Obama's speech and I couldn't turn it off.
Tired.
But Happy.
Sad for the Californios though. Can you guys fight that in the courts?

I would like to see number of votes cast on the propositions. I have a suspicion that lots of people who got out to vote for President just did not vote on the propositions.
As sad as many of the prop votes make me, and they make me profoundly sad, I am encouraged that "life beginning at fertilization" did not pass, and that "banning abortions except in the most horrible of circumstances" did not pass. The two most emtionally divisive issues clearly, and the socially liberal viewpoint is not loosing both, at least not everywhere.
With a Democrat controlled Albany, I think we will see legislation for same-sex marriage in New York. With Democrats controlling Washington, I think some Justices will step down sooner rather than later so that appointments can be made to at least hold the current position. Sadly I do not think there will be a shift away from the 5-4 dead-lock anytime soon.

After seeing those White House pictures, I kind of wish I had gone over there last night. But I was exhausted -- I ended up falling asleep almost immediately after Obama's speech. Ahem. After President-elect Obama's speech.

I imagine there will be lots of fighting in courts as Prop 8 did not address what happens to those of us (approx. 14,000 couples if I'm remembering correctly) who got married while it was legal. Plus it was enough time (months) that couples may have bought property, gotten pregnant, all kinds of stuff that throws lots into legal limbo.
