YESSSSSSSSSS!

McCain’s concession speech was really conciliatory and respectful. Classy; I don’t think we could’ve asked for more.
OMG, some part of me didn’t think this could happen. Wow. Just wow.
On a lighter note, this is from pol:

:D

One Last Time

Edited to add:
OMG, I have ads for “Yes on [California Proposition] 8″ all of a sudden– dude, noooo, VOTE NO ON 8!!! Everyone should be able to get married, and enjoy all of the rights and responsibilities of marriage, if they feel like it. No discrimination if we can help it. Holy [...]

Debate

Live (more or less) blogging the presidential debate!
6:10pm – Jim Lehrer asked Obama and McCain about the bailout. Obama said that it’s obvious that the idea espoused by the Repubs that no regulation whatsoever is good for the economy isn’t working. McCain said that it was great that Congress is being so bipartisan. [...]

Survey

Our phone number came up in some random survey about the election, and of course I’m more than happy to tell them my opinions! Which is the opposite of Yut so it works out rather well — the minute that Yut hears that it’s a survey he puts the phone on speaker and hands [...]

Second Out of Three, This Year

Okay, I believe in voting, but dooooooood!!! I’m voting again — this time in the California state primary election, as in the primaries for US Representatives, the State Senators, etcetc, state stuff. Why couldn’t they have bundled these votes in with the national primary election is beyond me, seems like a waste of [...]

Candidate Match

misa and I were talking about the presidential candidates the other day, and she mentioned Dennis Kucinich, and lo and behold, like a day later I see this Slate article, Stop lying to yourself. You love Dennis Kucinich (via mingaling). And it’s true, I took USA Today’s Candidate match game and Gravel and Kucinich [...]

Nobel!

Isn’t it funny how instead of trying to argue that global warming isn’t happening, now the climate change/global warming skeptics are trying to argue that there were errors in “An Inconvenient Truth,” and things aren’t that dire. Really? So if whole cities aren’t underwater then we don’t have a problem?! And anyways, [...]

Spanning Various Topics: Cough, Gay Marriage/Loving vs Virginia, and World Cup

Pretty random, eh? Can’t imagine how they relate, eh? Well they don’t. Cos I’m too tired to focus. Not that I’m any good at focusing anyways.
I thought I got better, but now I’m back to coughing. Wonderful. I’m really wimpy about these sick-like symptoms, so I’m just tired out [...]

World Baseball Classic

I’m watching Korea vs Taiwan in the World Baseball Classic (think World Cup for soccer/football) right now. The game’s being played on ESPN2, delayed though. As usual, Taiwan is being called Chinese Taipei. Sheesh, I’m so sick and tired of that. Wikipedia has a page for World Baseball Classic that talks [...]

Disheartening

Alito managed to get into the Supreme Court. The Dems are so out of it that they can’t manage to keep either Alito or Roberts (the new CHIEF Justice) off the Court. Roberts is already being compared with Scalia and Thomas, the most conservative members of the Supreme Court. Right away, [...]
