Oh thank god!

I was pretty sure Obama was going to win the electoral vote, but it's a relief to know he did anyway.

I am very, very slightly disappointed that he won the popular vote, if only because it means there won't be a huge upsurge of electoral system reform from the right. This electoral college crap needs to go, but, darn it, Obama won fair and square. (Unless you listen to FOX news, in which case, conspiracy theories abound.)

However, while I am relieved that Obama won, I actually happy to hear other electoral results. Like, for instance that NH is the first state to have an all female legislative delegation (and all democrats, to boot)! Like Tammy Baldwin becoming the first openly gay senator (from Wisconsin!!!)! Like Maryland and Maine both passing same sex marriage referendums. And to see that the stupid fuckers who shot off their mouths about rape getting buggered in the polls.

Here's hoping that the next two to four years are (at least a little?) more productive than the last two to four.


Anyway, I have a quiz to study for, (and glee to suppress before facing my very conservative-leaning class) so I'd better go.

But Yay!

Heh.

I think I've finally complied all the rawish data I need for my first term paper. And I also found the main source that my prof obviously wanted us to find and read, given that pretty much all of his requested specifications are within that document.

So that's something done. Now just to organize, paraphrase and write the damn darn thing. (It's too soon to say it's damned. That comes later.)


On the down side, I have not made even a start on dinner. Or the dishes. I guess we'll just have to have birthday cake for dinner. (It was Page's 8th birthday yesterday.) Oh, and salad. I s'pose. ;-)

Laters.
