"This forest spoke as powerfully about our moral values as the debate over gay marriage and Iraq. Americans are still voting for denial. The SUV forest thickens. The real forest thins. America voted for the asphalt jungle." By Derrick Z. Jackson via No Whammies...

"That's really special. And I mean "special" in the sense that we use it to describe those kids who ride the short school bus and find ways to injure themselves while eating pudding with rubber spoons. That kind of special." No Whammies...

"To think anyone believes the “homosexual agenda” in this clearly anti-gay country could be anything more than making it through the day without getting beaten up (for Jesus) is remarkable." I'm Not One To Blog, But...

Lately...

We finally got moved into our new apartment in Redwood City. Not completely, of course, but for the most part. It's so cool to be able to look out your window and see the mountains. It's so different from Texas. Nala seems to be doing okay, comfortable with the move and all. John has been sick the whole week so it's been fun moving everything myself. It's a lazy Saturday afternoon, just watching TV and surfing the net. I finally got my plane ticket to go back home in a couple weeks. I'm excited to see my family, the majority of whom I haven't seen in about a year. It should be an interesting time with my brother's wedding and all. I think it's nap time...

"No nation could preserve it's freedom in the midst of continual warfare."

- quote of the day -

"Were I a Kerry voter, though, I'd feel deep anger, not only at them returning Bush to power, but for allowing the outside world to lump us all into the same category of moronic muppets.

The self-righteous, gun-totin', military lovin', sister marryin', abortion-hatin', gay-loathin', foreigner-despisin', non-passport ownin' red-necks, who believe God gave America the biggest dick in the world so it could urinate on the rest of us and make their land "free and strong"." Mirror

"Several friends have asked me if I will again leave the country. In light of the failure—a second time—to count all the votes, that won't be necessary. My country has left me." Tom Paine

"To all my American readers, I offer you my sympathies. Try again in four years and please, try to avoid blowing up the fucking planet before then." The TPS Report

- quote of the day -

"This may be the year when we finally come face to face with ourselves; finally just lay back and say it -- that we are really just a nation of 220 million used car salesmen with all the money we need to buy guns, and no qualms at all about killing anybody else in the world who tries to make us uncomfortable." Whiskey Bar

In all her glory... 

The Aftermath

I don't even know where to start for this one. Well, I'll just say it: I'm extremely pissed off at the American people right now. This sounds so corny but shame on you! As if the rest of the world didn't think we were dumb enough already, I think it's pretty fucking clear now. I'm ashamed to call myself an American. I love my country but how can the most powerful country in the world be so jam-packed full of complete dumbasses? Bush has had 4 years in the White House and has done nothing more than take us from bad to worse. I had a lingering hope that America would see the light and get this religious fanatic out of the White House but it's gone. For good. John and I are seriously considering leaving the country. I don't want any part of it anymore.
