Proposition 8

For those who aren’t aware Proposition 8 is “an initiative measure on the 2008 California General Election ballot titled Eliminates Right of Same-Sex Couples to Marry.” And on November 4, while Americans are electing a clean douche bag to replace the dirty douche bag, Californians will be voting on a couple other measures, too.

Now the only reason I, as non-californian, not to mention a non-American, is even aware of such a pathetic “initiative” is Proposition 2. Something that has made it’s rounds on websites I frequent…

Ha!

Why are my RSS Feeds so much fun? I just tripped over “Another Reason To Hate Fake Punk” over at Food Fight Vegan Grocers;

“I need protein from food rather than just protein supplements. I changed my diet. I would do anything I possibly could if they said like, ‘There’s a possibility you might heal faster if you do eat meat or just change your eating habits’. So I did. I don’t regret it at all, I feel so much better.”

Feeling Much Better Today, Thank You

I’ve managed to lose the headache I picked up yesterday during a trip out to the movies. As I said, last night, I saw Religulous, and while I provided my first impressions shortly after getting home, I steered clear of discussing a point further. Primarily because it required me to do a little “fact-check” prior to me cracking off. And I wasn’t feeling all that inspired to go digging around for what I wanted to share.

… Awaiting my ride to go see Religulous (I’ve never really been a fan of Bill Maher’s, but I’m anxious to see if Larry Charles’ “Borat” charm will carry over) and, despite such an inconsequential distraction, I find myself intrigued with a breaking news item. That being Colin Powell’s endorsement of Barack Obama for President.

OK, before I get too far into this post, I’d like to get something off my chest. I’ve been secretly rooting for Obama. Can you really blame me? I mean if it’s a choice between the “lesser of two evils,” Obama is the better choice, even if any meaningful distinction is only slight. In my mind it’s still a better one. He doesn’t have Palin as a running mate. By that same logic it could be argued “he’s got Biden.” What was my point?

Oh yeah, don’t get me wrong, I’d rather not see either Barack or John in office, at all. But if I was an American and I cared to vote, I’d be tempted to vote Obama. Or would I?
