Election Day
In the United States, today is election day. If you are an eligible voter in the United States, it is your civic duty to vote.
I voted absentee two weeks ago, for Obama, and Jim Martin (GA Senatorial election), as well as a number of other county- and state-specific things. As far as things go, I’d really like it if the rest of you voted for Senator Obama as well, but if you are voting for another candidate then thank you for voting regardless.
Special shout-out to those in California: if you voted No on Proposition 8, rock on. There is no reason that same-sex couples should be denied the same rights and privileges as other couples. Not a damn one.
To those not in the US, I’m sure there is a fair portion of you who absolutely couldn’t care less about our elections, so (WARNING: NSFW) here’s a YouTube video to check out instead.

A few years from now, I think it’ll be pretty clear that the decision to pick Obama over a moderate like Clinton was a mistake larger than electing Carter.
But we do have a proposition similar to 8 in arizona, prop 102, “protect arizona families”. Total nonsense, voted no on that one more than a week ago.
