so, now that the election is (mostly) over... what did you think?i voted for jim webb. even though he seems like somewhat of a donkey kong, i had to part with george allen on two issues. first, the war in iraq. let's face it, to put it nicely, iraq is a clusterf&%@. second, stem-cell research. allen simply won't support it. i mean, come on... just today it cured blindness in mice. the potential for this kind of research is incredible, and for people like me who have degenerate diseases (no, not alcoholism or gambling, but diabetes), this is quite a pressing issue.
i also voted no to the amendment suggesting that we define marriage as a union between a man and a woman. in my mind, this whole issue is symantics anyway. i've talked to many people who have different views on this... one of the most interesting? was somebody who said they supported civil unions for same-sex couples, but that calling it marriage was unacceptable. honestly, i really don't see the point? who gives a damn. most of the marriages in this country are way the hell too messed up anyway. marriage, civil union, what's the difference? but why amend the constitution? to me, it just seems like a bunch of religious right crap.
in terms of logic, it simply makes no sense. and i like my decisions made logically.
and what about this election? i love "horse-race" politics as some professor i had in college used to call it. what is more fun that seeing jim webb go from being down 3000 votes to ahead by 3000 votes in less than 30 minutes on tv? at midnight. i feel really bad for chris matthews... i think that guy has been awake for days.
and tucker carlson? seriously, that guy looks like he stepped out the front door of a UVA frat house.
