Election aftermath
The Grope-inator got bitch-slapped on his ballot measures and I’m very happy with the results. Californians did not need this special election, did not want this special election, and they showed their feelings by voting negatively to the asinine measures that the actor backed. I’m still unsure of how he got elected in the first place but this and his recent approval-rating speak volumes of how people will react when he tries to get re-elected next year. Goodbye Grope-inator, can’t say that I’ll miss you.
Also, New Jersey and Virginia got new Democrat Governors which will be putting the GOP in a tight spot come election time 2006. Hats off to Tim Kaine (Virginia) who was able to defeat his opponent despite said opponent’s dirty trickery and last-minute campain visits from GWB.
Too bad about Texas banning same-sex marriages. I fail to see how who you fuck has anything to do with the courts but there you have it. They’re not the only state to do this though so those of us that are interested in human-rights and equality for all still have an uphill battle that won’t end anytime soon. With all the assholes in the world I really don’t understand why people want to waste their time and resources on outlawing what people do in a bedroom, especially since it doesn’t affect anyone except those that are in the bedroom and if it really bothers you than you should pull your goddamned eyes away and spy on your own life. Damn, this issue really burns me.
Enough of all that, 2006 is going to be an interesting year for politics and I’m ready for the wild ride ahead. Money is going to be changing hands faster than it can be recorded into ledgers while PR consultants kick out the jams and show us pictures of smiling devils that kiss babies and shake hands. Blood is in the water and the sharks can smell it.
