Ok I’ve Got Some More Election Thoughts

• Well the morning has come and much to the chagrin of the gun and bible clutchers, the sky was not raining blood, abortions were not being given away on every corner, and Sesame Street was not replaced by gay porn. Obama’s America looks just about the same but you can tell that some folk have a little more spring in their step.
• Forget my misery as a Viking fan, my biggest cross to bear as a Minnesotan is our insane tendency to vote for craptacular third party candidates. First, we became a laughing stock for electing The Body our Governor. Now it looks like Jesse’s campaign director snagged enough votes to keep Norm “Bush in training” Coleman in the Senate. Seriously Gopher state, what the fuck is wrong with you?
• Perhaps more disappointing then Franken is the outcome of Prop 8 in California. While the ballots are still being counted, the outcome looks grim. The most “liberal” state in the union is about to pass an amendment banning gay marriage. This most likely will lead to the US Supreme Court and with their current make up, that’s a scary thought. While Obama’s huge win might make some of you think the culture war is over, I’m afraid it’s just getting warmed up. In other words, Canada, keep your doors open.
