Thank to this well planned building, the street is no longer human habitat. 

All is well again. 

We moved

That was fast. We've moved to The Minister of Things!

Hope for the future?

Many of my friends and colleagues have found solace in the mantra that the future will be bright for Democrats because demographic trends are with us. As noted early and often by Ruy Teixeira, natural Democratic constituencies such as minorities and youth are growing, while the Republican base of white evangelicals and older voters is shrinking or stagnating. Good things come to those who wait?

Well, after reviewing the exit polls this year I'm not so sure that a passive strategy will do it for progressives. Hispanics are the fastest growing minority in this country, soon to be the majority in many Southwestern states. They voted in record numbers this year, but Bush got 8% more of the Hispanic vote than he did in 2000. Did Karl Rove succeed in driving the gay marriage wedge into the Hispanic vote? That isn't clear right now, and it isn't clear that any long-term conservative strategy to woo Hispanic voters on social issues will succeed to any significant degree. But we know that the Republican strategists know as much as Ruy Teixeira about demographic trends and its safe to say they aren't planning to sit back let their majority slip away.

Secession

To think, all this time we thought we won the civil war...

Amidst all of the "what do we do now" talk, all of my friends are consumed by the thought of secession. A nice peaceful well-to-do country of blue states in the northeast. It just shows the depths of liberal depression and psychological distress that the only positive and comforting thought we can come up with is seceeding from the Union.

Would be kinda nice to keep our tax money though.

Red States

Fuck the Red States. Fuck em. Thats all I got to say man.
