Strix,
MN had to vote no to vote yes so marriage equality is 4-0 this election.
Maybe I've always been here.

All the time I have spent on elections this yr need to count for something.

Nana korobi, ya oki. (Fall down seven times, stand up eight.) ~Yuzuru Hanyu/Japanese proverb
We elected the Dems for president and Senate, but our state legislature flipped back to Republican control. Not looking forward to another 2 years of Walker cramming through his agenda.
Especially not as someone under the Wisconsin Retirement System. My pay is no longer limited by the state as UW-Madison employees are no longer part of the state system, but we still contribute to the WRS, for now. I am still scared shitless I'll have no retirement other than social security under Republican control here in WI.
And on FB, one of my old Navy buddies is all, waaah, Obama is going to take away our military benefits. I was like, if he hasn't done it yet, and he's actually increased military benefits since he took office, I don't think you have a damn thing to worry about. Then linked him to a list of everything Obama had passed that was pro-veteran/military.

From my high-school classmate on FB (the one who predicted "u better get ready to live under communism"): "Guess my husband is going to have to keep working bc Obama cannot afford me! Lol"
I literally don't understand that. Obama can't afford...*her*?

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
Now I am starting to hear the Conservatives at work grumble. "Let's hope to God no Supreme Court Justices die or retire in the next four years." oh RLLY? Welcome to how we felt with Bush.

Steph, my only guess is she's a high dollar escort?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Weirdly, given that everyone who works with me is probably a Democrat, I'm a little weirded out by people loudly celebrating in the office. It feels....unseemly, or something.

Seriously, or she's implying that Obama is her sugar daddy? I've tried to parse it a million different ways, and the closest thing I can MAYBE come up with is that under Romney, her husband would suddenly have gotten a doubled salary, or something, because of magical Romney hoodoo, and then she could quit working.
Other than that, well, it's about the senseless wittering I expect from someone who claims that we are about to become a communist country under almost exactly the same government as we've had for the last 4 years of non-communism.
