In college, Girl-E was in a musical called Pulpit Fiction, in which there was a song called "Super Tuesday", which she has not been able to get out of her head all day. Her classmate who wrote the musical went on to the cast of Second City, breeding ground of most successful comedy writers, and is now writing in Hollywood. The point of that is, she hopes and assumes he has not been able to get "Super Tuesday" out of his head all day either. Though at the moment it's only 8am in California, so "all day" hasn't started yet really.
And the point of that is, today did not inspire the same jolt of excitement that Girl-E usually has on election day. Especially after watching John Kerry talk about marriage versus civil unions on the news this morning. Like most people who insist on the second-class category of civil unions in an effort to "compromise" with conservatives, he said absolutely nothing even remotely convincing about why it's ok to define "marriage" as girl-boy and still have equal rights with civil unions. Anyway, we're not going to get in to all of this right now, because we could go on forever, and pretty much everyone else in the world already is. But the point of all of that is, she suffered from a bout of resignation to reality at the voting booths and voted with the Democratic masses. She had been encouraged by family members to vote for Kucinich just to send a message that there is a progressive block that Kerry will have to answer to, but she just couldn't bring herself to vote for a chihuahua.
