Wedding Crashers

Barack Obama spoke to me last night. Well, he actually spoke to all of us, but his election is bittersweet. Why? Well, California's Proposition 8 passed! And his message of coming together as a nation, well...does it really apply to me?

So same-sex marriage is now illegal (again), imagine that, it's illegal to commit yourself to someone for the rest of your life.

I'm being told to focus my anger towards more positive outlets.

Hmm. This bottle of wine might do the trick.

Oh and if you feel as PO as I do and want to say something to someone, head on over to these these two websites. They are both great ways to get donor information on the people who helped fund this hate-filled bill.

Of course if you're a chicken, you have more rights than gays and lesbians!

It's the perfect night for Festinade!

Festi what? Well, if you grew up in the swinging 80's perhaps your family had one of these bad boys.

Europeans still know how truly fantastic these puppies are and continue to manufacture and use them today, but us Americans, well we need to get back into the Festinade groove. Sure there's a small group of us who collect and covet them and for good reason!

Yeah, I know, "Aren't these just Raclette sets?" Trust me, they are so much better than Raclette sets.

Imagine if you will a group of people huddled around a set of pans cookin' and drinkin' all night.

Of course my dream Festinade guest list:

Martha Stewart
Amy Sedaris
Laura Kightlinger
Sarah Silverman
Steven Colbert
Tina Fey
and of course myself (there's only 6 pans people, but I'm willing to share!)

I think I should public access television this $&@! and start a YouTube phenomenon!

Sounds cool, right? Well, I'm always on the hunt for my next Festinade or a way to share the fun with someone else.

A fitting end to a crappy presidency.

If you live in San Francisco and are fortunate enough to be able to vote, you'll get your chance to rename the Oceanside Sewage Plant.

I cast my absentee ballot today and well, you might be able to guess if I voted Yes or No on R.

Here's part of the "pro" argument (I think it might be difficult to find any "cons" out there)

"Just as France presented the Statue of Liberty as its gift to the nation, the citizens of San Francisco may now bestow their own special gift to the country by renaming our award winning waste water treatment plant in honor of outgoing President George W Bush. We think this is a fitting memorial for a truly outstanding Commander-in-Chief. On matters ranging from diplomacy to fiscal and environmental stewardship, no other President has had such a dramatic impact on the country and the Constitution in such a short time. Most presidents wait years or decades to receive their memorial airport or highway. We think President Bush deserves immediate recognition for his eight years of public service."

8 is usually my favorite number

I'm usually a huge fan of 8, but not this election year. If you live in California you've probably heard of Prop. 8. A NO ON 8 vote means that all people can legally marry in California having their relationship validated and recognized by their community. So why can't all people have this? Well, they can with a simple NO vote on Prop. 8. Learn more about this proposition here.

Don't trust me, here's what the LA Times has to say...

“Proposition 8… would eliminate the fundamental right to same-sex marriage. The very act of denying gay and lesbian couples the right to marry – traditionally the highest legal and societal recognition of a loving commitment – by definition relegates them and their relationship to second class status.”

Vote for_________

Damn, two vote posts in one day, are we having an election or something?

So Gap got in on the election frenzy and well, I rather like the idea.

First, it's a tee-shirt, never underestimate the power of a tee-shirt.

As a high school sophomore I was suspended for three days because my tee-shirt was too powerful for the powers that be.

Second, it's customizable! That's right you can fill in the blank - hello fabric markers!

So, hop on over to the Vote For_______ site and get yours!

I realize it's the Gap schilling these puppies, so one can only hope these tee-shirts are U.S. made.

One can hope.

Now I'm off to watch the Palin/Biden debate go up in flames.

Don't Vote...

A well crafted viral video. Take a look and remember the wise words of Sarah Silverman, you can literally register to vote while you're poopin'.

Real Live Republicans.

I saw them.

We talked.

We disagreed.

I think I scared them.

But they did say Bush was an idiot.

Hmmm.
