Dear Yes on 8 folks,

Why don’t you just make signs that say what you really mean? Try these on for size:

• I AM A BIGOT
• I SUPPORT HATRED
• I HATE GAYS

Because that is what you’re supporting. Hatred against homosexuals. Don’t hide behind your nice sounding “protect marriage” motto. You support hatred of homosexuals. Just come out and admit it if you feel so strongly about it.

But you don’t want to. You want to hide behind your “protect marriage” motto because you’d like to believe that you’re not a hateful person. But you are if you support Proposition 8. You’ll deny equality to others who just want to be married to the person they love. How is that wrong?

Hoping you’ll change your minds,

Me

While out running errands today, I couldn’t help but notice that there was no shortage of “YES ON 8″ banners floating about on this dreary day. Living at the edge of the Bay Area where people are FAR more conservative than I’m used to is just straight depressing. Right now, it seems that Prop 8 might be defeated but a lot of work still needs to be done to make sure that it happens.

Five bags of candy. Not one trick-or-treater.

So much for our first Hallowe’en at the house.  Of course, that might have to do with the fact that I didn’t turn on our porch light.

Hehehehe. MORE FOR ME!! Next year, I will probably take The Little Empress trick-or-treating at the local old folks home with the SAHM club.

I’m convinced that we’ve got a few ghosts hanging out right now. I have a feeling one is my Grandpa on my mom’s side — I never met him but everyone says he was a kind soul. I’ve heard that when babies stare off at something and smile, it means that they’re talking to angels. TLE’s been smiling up a storm at nothing today so  I’m sure Great-Grandpa has been visiting.

FWIW, Kyo is utterly unconvinced that there are ghosts in the house. Foo.

• @champuru I’m actually selling some practically new infant prefolds; they’re on my Flickr; msg me if interested. #
• is waiting for TLE to tucker herself out for the night before trying to play Little Big Planet again. #
• thinks that LBP is an awesome game. And the fact that it is on the PS3 means i don’t have to get up to turn on the console while nursing! #
• is wondering why the dog is so needy today. And is not looking forward to her going ballistic at the doorbell this evening. :/ #
• is dreaming of shabu-shabu for dinner #

• just looked up contributors to Prop 8 campaigns in her zip code. 46 (YES) to 14 (NO). #
• is up early with TLE. Am not looking forward to next week when she will be waking at 6:00AM or earlier >_> #
• is facing off with the baby, trying to convince her to nap. It is not working. #
• @champuru Hope the CD’ing turns out well. FYI - the small Thirsties cover is still fitting my 7mo (14.5lbs!) so it should last you awhile. #
• is freezing! #

“Folks, let me tell you something: equality, which is a primary value of the Left, is a European value, not an American value.”

Hey asshole, read the goddamned Declaration of Independence:

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.

And what really gets me is that there are folks cheering him.

Every so often, I find gems of posts on Mommy communities. This is just an awesome snarkalicious post via CafeMom…

“I woke up gay this morning…”

Even more awesome (in a effed up way) are some conservative mamas who took it seriously.

I have to admit, Obama’s ideas fill me with hope. But when I think about government in general, the system is so broken that I wonder if he’ll be able to keep his promises.

Still, there’s no question where my vote is going.
