Keep On

Everyone, everywhere is pumped. I talked to a serial GOP brainbuster last night who was glowing with joy and gracious in defeat. Weird.

Again, head to El Stencemilla for the proper juice, but here's my today.

The US election fallout is currently riddled with three issues.

1) Transition: cabinet favourites, puppies and lowered expectations.
2) The heretofore off-the-record truth about Palin.
3) Proposition 8 (no same sex marriage-o).

My vote for the puppy remains, a black lab named "Maverick"



For "I didn't know Ahhhfrica is a Cah-ntinent" Sarah Palin, watch this informative bit of Maritime rhyme.



In terms of Prop 8, it's a major setback, on an issue that I've never understood. Ever. No antagonist to same sex unions has ever been able to explain themselves. This deadbeat prophet makes an interesting argument (NB, the one minute mark):



I think we need to espouse the hope, equality, possibility and optimism that got Obama elected and trust that the Prop Eight madness will be worked out by a prevailing sense of justice. To use some cliche's - the name of the game is just keep your eye on the ball. There is no excuse for voices to go unheard and issues to be ignored. Baby steps. Just because the screwheads won a single battle doesn't mean the wounded can't be healed.
