The ignorance astounds me.

Today is a very very very sad day in America. Forget the presidential race which is a travesty in and of itself. No, I am not only upset about that, but many of the other things that happened this election.

For the first time...and likely last, Colorado was given the chance to split its electorate...essentially giving a fairly representative vote of the people. Did it win? No. Why? Because the Republicans knew they had this thing wrapped up and wanted to make sure they got all the votes.

And then there are the 11 states that passed Gay marriage bans. This makes me want to vomit with rage. Seriously? Look, they aren't going to affect your lives in any way if they get married. If you believe gay people are going to hell anyway may as well let them get married too so they can get to a deeper level. And if you talk about the institution of marriage being violated...well seeing as most marriages end in divorce anyway I am not sure how it could make it worse. Hell it might make that percentage go up!

The good? Well Salazar won in the Senate and we passed the transportation tax. Other than that I want to crawl in a hole the rest of the day.
