I went and ate a bunch of chicken with Ed tonight and I was really exhausted from eating so much celebration food that I came home and spaced out in front of episodes of Picket Fences on my computer and tried to decompress. I don't know if this point has been brought up or not, and I'm sure it probably has by this late hour, but I feel like I gotta say something:
It appears that the ban on gay marriage is going to get passed, as well as Prop 2, which as Spiegs put it is basically asking that we give chickens "more legroom".
What this tells me, California, is that you value the life of a chicken that was bred for your consumption more than you do about equal rights for your fellow man. Uh, hey guys? That's fucking retarded.
No, I mean. I get it. Animals are cute. When you were voting to pass Prop 2, you were thinking "Oh, yeah. Well, I like animals. Sure!" But it's about more than that, as is banning gay marriage. Voting no on the ban was not about letting the homos catch up to you and possibly beat you in the race of life, you fucking bigots. It was about preventing permanent restrictions on our rights. If you can't look outside of yourself to find a reason to care, think about a right that you have been afforded as a citizen of this country being taken away from you because you are a part of any marginalized group. If that's the kinda thing we're into, then I want to ban all James Francos from boning any not mes.
Anyway, people are fucking idiots, but it's OK. We have a black president, I have Sour Patch Kids.
I just got a panicky Google-chat from Alex asking me to repost this here, so because I love him and he's right, here's what Alex wrote on Bed Time today:
If you know anyone in Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana, Florida, Virginia, or North Carolina and you think they will vote For Barack Obama please send them a text, an email, or a call (anything). Make sure they realize how important their vote truly is. Last election the RNC brought a serious effort in the last 2 days and the actual election with a “ground game” that brought out a giant republican turnout that was not expected. Lets not get caught off guard again.
My fellow Dems please do not think this “Is in the bag”. If you can help in anyway even just a quick email to your Aunt in Philly (I will be emailing her after this) take the couple minutes. It could alter the course of our country and the world.
Because I am a self-promoting and nosy person, I know from my stat counter that I have a lot of readers in Ohio, Florida and North Carolina specifically. I hope Alex's message reaches you and you make the choice that will be best for our country.
