prop8
so a lot has happened since this overdue post (no apologies). america elected president obama. alaskan sen. ted stevens lost his seat but may have retained his stained glass windows. bradbury's and co. took a trip to viroqua, wi to do a cupping and meet the talent behind kickapoo coffee (and drink beer in a cemetery). on a lower key, i took an audition in d.c. - i would have told you if i won, so keep to your seat.
on a similarly sad note, california dropped the ball and prop 8 passed, banning same-sex marriages. i know it has been almost a month since the election, but this is still bothering me.
a good friend of mine turned me onto this editorial by mr. keith olbermann...
as always, mr. olby is emotional and gushy - but he says it right. it is inconceivable how america can elect a black man as its executive, but can't allow gays and lesbians equal rights as everyone else.
he also talks about love. something that supporters of prop8 seem to disregard. when he discusses sham marriages and forced marriages, i couldn't help but think of sarah palin's pregnant daughter, bristol. throughout september, the palin-mccain't campaign said that bristol would get married to the father of her child. true love.
if a 17 year old nobody is forced into a marriage by her parents due to a pregnancy ignited by "hey, i think you're pretty, let's take a study break...", then who could possibly stand in the way of two professionals who contribute to their communities, who are seeking a same-sex marriage? or a lesbian retired couple who have been together for over sixty years, who go to church, and are seeking the spousal rights that are missing from civil unions that marriage offers?
ugh.

VOTE, sucka!
Register online to vote here or find out how to register in your area here.
All you fools in Madison who are lost, get it on here.
Pay attention to tomorrow night's debate, Joe Biden v. Sarah Palin. If you have any inclination to vote for McCan't, be wise and check her out since she might grab a hold of the reigns if John....dies.
I am voting for Barack Obama.

Obama and ______, Obama and ______ ...
Hillary?
Bill?
Chelsea?
Edwards?
Howie D.?
I rarely initiate discussion [or write] about politics - but since I'm doing this week-long blog thing (with a three month hiatus to follow), I figure it is best not to rant and rant about those hippie liberals and their abortions via universal healthcare, paid for by the taxation of the rich and the financial aid given to poor, uneducated, and often non-legal, i mean, "ILLEGAL" civilians [who are oftentimes, ahem, "COLORED"] who are basically being given an easier life even though they are making the streets more dangerous for our kids with drugs, gang and weapon violence, and prostitutes.
I am, in fact, a registered democrat, so I apologize if I have offended fellow party members by my last statement, but I am a big fan of sarcastic self-degredation (especially Asian, or should I say, Oriental....I mean, Asian-American/Pacific-Islander humor). So, um, sorry about that opening sentence - hopefully you're catching your breath now as you read this aloud to your 3rd graders. As for my hint at racism, I can totally flip it and reverse it. If you want, I can go Deep Space 9 on your ass and put Koreans in the same class as Greek Gods and dump the rest in the swill that I wash my feet in.
Stop feeling awkward and let me get on with this.
ok. GO!
Hillary.
Here's why not. Count how many times she tried to upstage Obama's candidacy and use those as reasons why they shouldn't run together. This would also be too easy for Republicans to hate on - especially the whole interracial thing (just ask my girlfriend, who is caucasian - i.e. Welsh, German, "et cetera"). Outside of gay porn and the NBA, the whole interracial debacle will soon be added to Roman Catholic Doctrine of "New Sins."
Bill.
I say yes. I love Bill. The 1990s were the best years of my life (well, after '93). And he was already President! What more could you ask for?!?!?!? Ah, life was so good then.
Chelsea isn't old enough - maybe if she writes a book about her cat....but not if anybody reads it.
Edwards.
John Edwards has officially ruled out running for VP, saying that he already ran in 2004 (calling it a "privilege") and "won't do it again." I would say this would be the most handsome pairing or running mates in presidential history - next to Obama-Schwarzenegger, which would be fierce.
Howie D.
I was a big fan of Dr. Howard Dean when he ran in the last primaries - he is also the reason why I am not totally investing myself in this coming election. Would he make a good V.P.? I would've said yes four years ago - but nobody would let this slide.
So who is my ideal pick? Jack Bauer, of course. Dwight Schrute of Dunder Mifflin realistically states,
"...unfortunately he is unavailable, fictional...and overqualified."
I hope Obama wins - I'm sure we all do to some extent. Do I think he'll win? I guess that question shouldn't be posed on someone who lacks confidence in the American people. Unfortunately too many of "us" are concerned with tax returns and stimulus checks instead of eliminating the national deficit and allowing research (e.g. stem-cell) to find cures or preventative measures to better our lives. Them republicans is crazy.
In other news, my parents are also crazy.
