I was very charmed last night by seeing a man and a very small child (presumably father and daughter), with the father spinning around in circles, holding the child on his shoulders.


[livejournal.com profile] starandrea's Notice of the day today is rather amusing. Go, New England!

I refused to stay up last night to watch the election results, and it appears that was a wise choice. Especially since we have lots of waiting to do for Ohio!

I can't decide if I'm scared or disappointed by the fact that apparently half the country actually approves of Bush. (Or, at least, they think they do...)

[livejournal.com profile] tafkar notes the worrisome aspect of a single party holding sway over all three branches of the government, along with a link to explain why.

I've never really been a political person. I'm not very good at it, and I know it. The past four years have made me _far_ more political than I normally am, but I'm also reminded strongly of why I normally avoid it. I'm so _tired_ of politics. So very, very tired. So while I know there are still more things that can be done, I'm just too tired of it all. And it's not like I'm very _good_ at political things; I tend to not be able to remember specific facts/points well enough to have even a vaguely useful debate about much of anything.

[from the link]

not right-wing to think that children need a mother and a father, not two mothers and two fathers

Heh. Are they arguing against gay marriage, or poly marriage?!

Anyway, ick. I feel bad for the people I know in those states who are against those bans...

Gay Marriage, although the amendment applies to both, along with common law marriage.

Ohio's Issue 1:
Only a union between one man and one woman may be a marriage valid in or recognized by this state and its political subdivisions. This state and its political subdivisions shall not create or recognize a legal status for relationships of unmarried individuals that intends to approximate the design, qualities, significance or effect of marriage.
