Finally coping with the withdrawl...

As a political junkie, I never get sick of politics. Oh, I may say that I'm not going to get involved or care during an election or political controversy; but then it gets into my system and I just can't get enough (yes, the druggie or alcoholic analogy fits just fine!)

OK, the withdrawal had nothing to do with the Democratic candidates winning - just the initial let-down of having no election to discuss. Kind of like these folks (minus the bizarre Obama fixation):


Obama Win Causes Obsessive Supporters To Realize How Empty Their Lives Are

Anyway, I'm doing fine and ready to be a part of the conservative insurgency against Obama & Biden's strongly liberal agenda.

Other than the presidential election I was quite interested in Prop 8 out in California. First of all, I was pleased that it passed by a decent margin. Second, its opponents deserved to lose after this commercial aired on election day:



Laws cannot be retroactive - so even the slightly plausible idea that a marriage could be invalidated (the rest of the ad is plain ridiculous) is a straw man argument.

Third, Nancy Pelosi really is an idiot.

“Unfortunately, I think people thought they were making a statement about what their view of same-sex marriage was,” the San Francisco Democrat said. “I don’t know if it was clear that this meant that we are amending the Constitution to diminish freedom in our state.”

There's no evidence to support her assertion at all - she's just in denial that the majority of Californians (and the citizens of every state that had a gay marriage initiative on the ballot) disagree with her and the California Supreme Court.

Allahpundit over at HotAir.com takes Pelosi's argument to its logical conclusion regarding the Presidential election:

“Unfortunately, I think people thought they were making a statement about what their views of race relations and male beauty were,” the San Francisco Democrat said. “I don’t know if it was clear that this meant that we are picking the next President of the United States.”

That's enough for today. I am looking forward to somewhat of a lull from politics so I can focus on finishing the semester, enjoying the holidays, and (most importantly) welcoming our new baby into the world.

Nothing beats a "love" high,
