ugh.

Okay America,
I spent much of today carting my computer around Montpellier, trying to get some of that sweet sweet free wireless internet in the rain so that I could know about the election results. I couldn't ask French people; the answers I got varied from "I'm watching cartoons" to "I don't care about that." Some people did care, but they weren't of much help, so it's to the internet I turned.
My point is that I spent all of this effort just to find out that Bush won the election, and America hates gay people, among other things. What the fuck, America? It's like you want me to stay here. I might have to seek political asylum or something. Bush? Banning same-sex marriage? It turns out that America is indeed short-sighted (although only by a 3% margin), and that things are going to have to get much worse before they get better. But we all knew that already. Of course, y'all reading are the choir to whom I'm preaching. But what the fuck? That's all. I'm going to go drink some wine.

PS I thought the map with Republican states in red and democratic states in blue that they had on CNN really summed up the situation in America. "Yeah, I never would feel really comfortable in those red states," I thought to myself as I perused the chart. God Bless the Three United Countries of America.
