So bush got re-elected, which sucks. He even won the popular vote this time around which supprised the shit out of me... Actually I was kind of hoping he would win popular but loose in the electoral college: firstly so that they might actually get rid of the electoral college and secondl for turn-abouts from 2000,
All these anti-gay-marriage bills got passed, which kind of depresses me that appearantly its OK if gay people aren't given the same rights as everyone else. The even more fucked up part is that 8 of the bills basically banned benefits for any type of civil union, common-law marriage for instance, not just same-sex marriages to my understanding. Also, it has been said that the republicans pushed it onto the ticked to draw out more conservative voters to the polls and vote for bush since they were in the neighborhood so to speak. At least these bills were passed at the state level though, rather than that constitutional ammendment they're pushing for. This is a pretty fucked up country right now. Hopefully it will pass over the coming years.
In other new, I was taking a couple pics today (16 attempts, 2-3 passable results) so I posted one up in my pics.
