the last political post for a while, I swear

It appears that Coleman has squeaked out a victory over Al Franken. By 762 votes. Out of 2.9+ million votes. 762 votes. If you've ever said that your vote doesn't count, you are dead wrong. They'll definitely be doing a recount, but most places have declared Coleman the winner.

ETA: Now the vote difference is only 571 and the AP has uncalled the race. The recount won't begin for a couple weeks and could last into December. Insane!

Unfortunately, it looks like Prop 8 passed in California, although it's still unofficial. Oh, California. How can you do this to us? How about all you other jerkoff states too?? I want to be so hopeful, but this is a crushing awful blow for equality in our country. Hopefully we can try again in two years once the country has had some separation from the conservatism that's had its hold here for so many years now.

ATTN LOCALS!!

Repo! The Genetic Opera is opening at the Lagoon this weekend. It desperately needs some ticket sales and word-of-mouth hype so it can get into wider release. So who would be up for going to see it? It's supposed to be awesome fun! And Anthony Stewart Head is involved! Who doesn't love him?

Unfortunately, I'm busy all weekend long. So maybe the 7:30 showing on Monday night? Okay, Monday night seems to be bad. How about next Wednesday night instead? Who's in?
