Progress is a comfortable disease

Nov. 5th, 2008

Patriotism just got a little easier.

Still too mentally and emotionally drained to undertake a full post-mortem of yesterday's momentous election. Maybe tomorrow. There's a lot to say, but there's a lot I need to process first. So for now, I'll leave you with some words Trey Ellis wrote a few days ago which echoes a small part of what I'm feeling right now:

"I'm a patriot. Since I was a child I have always loved my country. But if Obama really does win, then I think I will feel — perhaps for the first time — that my country loves me back."

Spontaneous Parade, Election Night 2008

Pacific Ave, Santa Cruz.

True story...

mood: apalled and amused. or maybe vice versa.

According to FiveThirtyEight.com:

So a canvasser goes to a woman's door in Washington, Pennsylvania. Knocks. Woman answers. Knocker asks who she's planning to vote for. She isn't sure, has to ask her husband who she's voting for. Husband is off in another room watching some game. Canvasser hears him yell back, "We're votin' for the nigger!"

Woman turns back to canvasser, and says brightly and matter of factly: "We're voting for the nigger."

Trust David Schwimmer to stifle even Simon Pegg's innate hilarity. Cliched storyline and mawkish gags -- could this movie BE any less funny?

The opposite of epiphany.

It's a sad day when posting to an online forum leads you to realize that your expectations of intellect and rhetorical ability on the internet have been spoiled by the high standard of discourse available on Slashdot.

And on a completely unrelated note...

Separated at birth?

This has got to be the most terrifying picture of her I've yet seen. Her death's-head rictus seems grow more drawn and skeletal with each passing year. Is that even skin, anymore, or did she just start varnishing her skull? It literally took me a moment, when I saw this earlier, to realize I wasn't looking at an ad for a new horror film.

Caro's return

While I will profess great respect and appreciation for our Gallic bretheren, it's not often that I find myself wishing I were French.

But oh, this is one of those times.
