Election Day 2008 - Thoughts and Reports

And DJ-ing, keep drinking & rock'n!

Around Midnite, I saw Justin hopped on the stage and sang "Happy" song. I needed a tissue during Obama's speech, and during this song, I thought I needed a towel.
I'm so excited that finally people in all over the world can focus on the real beauty of the U.S. again without the disturbance of Bush's shadow.

Thanks for those pics Maki.
Right now I'm focusing on the real beauty of Sherry Vine!

And Justin looks so happy.

This discussion took a dramatic turn to the left (as it were) when it became apparent that Proposition 8 (baning gay marriage) passed in California.

I started a new topic and moved the posts here

Proposition 8: banning gay marriage.

Oh and before I forget...
Let's have a big THANK YOU! to Zazoo and Satori for turning Ohio blue.

I don't know if you can move to New York now.
We may need you in Ohio.

BTW Where is Darla? What's the matter hon, Barack got your tongue?

Let's not gang up on Darla.
(She'll beat the crap out of us)

She'll be here don't worry, she's just regrouping and gathering ammunition.

I am still pinching myself to see if this is all true (seems like it could be a very long dream). Huzzah and WERK!

Not sure if any other motherboarders were up on 125th tuesday night, but it was a giant street party like i have never seen before. Amazing and peaceful w lots of tears.

Thank you for all the pictures, sherry vine looks OVAH hope thats the last of ms. pallin we have to see - buh-bye

certain gays in cali are reflexively blaming Black voters as a group for prop 8's passage.
it's so disgusting, it makes me want to go straight...
fags need to clean up their own house before they pile up on other minorities!
bitches need to dry their tears and try, try again!

I agree Princess. After living in a " gay" town for the past 8 years where gays walk openly hand and hand and can marry legally, I still witness blatant acts of racism on a daily basis. Gays as a whole have not addressed nor overcome their own narrow mindedness regarding race or opposite sex hatred. For the most part it seems that the majority of people in this day and age have grown very much in such matters but there are still too many out there that need to address their inner racism. Perhaps President Obama will encourage this last step towards awareness.

Meanwhile it disturbs me greatly that a large portion of the African American community could even consider hating gay people and voting away their rights after all that they themselves have faced in this country. It boggles the mind.

i hear you bobby, but the ONLY response is compassion, outreach and continued efforts to return this issue to the courts.
we need to be like p.e. obama and rise above it while we work within the system.
gays must learn that you can't fight hatred & ignorance with more of the same.
gays are a strange minority - among our more stellar virtues, we also we embrace such extremes of hysterical victimhood with undreamt-of entitlement and imperiousness.
honey, i have gay fatigue!

could be a very effective tactic...

"pit the two minority groups that
are currently rising in power
and influence against one another.
let them bring each other back down."

Yes PJ I agree totally. For far too many years the right has manipulated all the minorities against each other while they worked to undo us all.
