(no subject)

well, that's it then. we're all going to die.

people i hate

FUCK republicans. FUCK 18-29 year olds who didn't bother to vote after all that rah-rah young voter hype. FUCK nader voters. FUCK the entire Bush dynasty, their ancestors and their descendants, for all of eternity. TWICE.

FUCK YOU ALL. FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK.

i weep for my country. i am crushed. my heart is broken. i knew this would happen, but it doesn't make it any less painful.

time to start hoarding cash in your mattresses and considering alternate career options.

I PREDICT: updates

i predicted:

Bush wins the election. abortion rights are further restricted. the war in Iraq drags on through the next four years (at least). the economy limps along; the rich continue to wallow in jacuzzis filled with cash while more and more jobs move offshore.

i regret that the first part has already come true.

my next prediction:

Arnold Schwarzenegger will be the next Republican party candidate for President. Hillary Clinton will be the Democratic nominee, and will lose catastrophically because the US just isn't ready to elect a woman President yet.

so: who do the Democrats have who could even conceivably win against Schwarzenegger? let's make a list and start the letter-writing campaign NOW. let's get those people into the public eye and build their reputations.

also, FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK.

one other thing i'd like to point out

Washington, DC is where politicians and the people who work with politicians live. these are the people who know what's really going on in DC. these are the people to whose opinions we should listen.

DC went 90% Kerry.

think about it.

sigh.

i had this great post written complete with bible quotes for irony, but my laptop crashed and ate it, and i haven't got the heart to go through the whole thing again.

the short version: i bought new wiper blades today, which turned out to be a very good thing since on my way home i encountered an impressive thunderstorm. the top of the hill on the Pacifica/Daly City border had what looked like around 2-3" of snow, but turned out to be just a huge amount of hail; it was covering the ground, the rooftops, the trees, and, of course, the roads. people were driving like total fucking morons because as you know, all traffic laws are suspended in the case of water in any form on the roadway. one is no longer required to stay in one lane, it's perfectly legal to run through red lights (because OH MY GOD, HOW COULD YOU POSSIBLY BE EXPECTED TO STOP?) and drive at 5mph, obstructing others who actually know how to drive in these conditions and would like nothing more than to get out from behind the fucking moron in front of us who keeps braking at random moments for no reason a sane person might be able to divine.

were i not an atheist, i might suspect the freak weather to be a message from god; however, i would still not be sure whether he was angry because Bush won, or because the bay area voted overwhelmingly against him.

that said, the 'snow' was very pretty until the rain melted it all.

and in other news, an openly gay Hispanic female former migrant worker was elected sheriff of Dallas County TX. she's the first woman and the first Hispanic to hold the office in that county, and is one of only two openly gay sheriffs in the US. furthermore, there were only 29 women among the 3,086 sheriffs nationally going into yesterday's elections.

Lupe Valdez is my new hero. this is my America. this is what my country is about.

two thoughts:

one upside to the Republican lock on all branches of government: they can't blame any of their fuckups on anyone but themselves.

also, i need to find a manly man. who likes manly women.
