rule one of talking shit is keep it LOCKED DOWN.
Yeah, this one was intentionally public. Just mean, and petty, too.
Hey, if it means I don't have to read any more, woo and, might I add, a big hoo.

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.

Oh yeah, we only used that for races where we didn't have good info and there was no party affiliation or whatever. I would vote against the gay dude for mayor, I I hadn't forgotten my ballot, and probably would've voted against the lesbian if I lived in NYC, so it doesn't work for bigger races.

That's awful, Consuela.

I just voted. Most no-brainer election EVER. Seriously, even in the primaries it was a choice between Di Blasio, Quinn, and a bunch of Bond villains.

Yeah. It was stupid, and people overreacted, but that's fandom for you. I like to think well of people, I'm not a sneaky person, and I feel like that element of my personality was taken advantage of by people I trusted. I dislike this intensely.

Voting for the women around here is not always a good option, there are some radically right wing females around here that would make Darth Cheney weep in pride. There was a woman on one ballot, but her statement of position was more "I'm a homemaker and small business woman, so I understand how important it is run an organization efficiently" and "all we need is for everyone to work together for a common goal," which is true but a little light on practicalities.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
For the record, assuming DiBlasio wins, the Greater Boston Area will continue its reign over NYC -- remember, Bloomberg is from Medford MA, and DIBlasio went to the same high school as me!

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
5 folders and 2 piles of papers out of my office and into filing cabinet. All work done with them and they are all organized.
WHOOT!!

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
I voted; our race was Mayor and City Council only. I did vote for one white dude, but he's a longtime acquaintance and old-school Durham progressive type, not to mention that he's running against the one person in the race to single out being against marriage equality as her signature issue even though it has NOTHING AT ALL TO DO WITH THE CITY COUNCIL.
In this town. Good luck with that, lady.
(Also noting that, as for meara, no white dudes is only to be used for races where there isn't a clear choice otherwise. And also also noting that I really like living in a place where there generally aren't any white dude vs. white dude races in local politics.)
