balmofgileadWow, interesting:
A higher percentage of white men voted for Obama than any Democrat since Jimmy Carter, Bill Clinton included.
------------------------------------
also:
There's been some discussion about how the media vastly underreported the turnout at last Friday's march in San Francisco protesting proposition 8. The media's been saying a thousand or a few thousand people were there. Those of us who actually attended - and the police that supervised - say it was more like 10-20 thousand people.
I watch the RSS feed of Rachel Maddow clips on msnbc.com, so when something about Friday's rally popped up yesterday, I went to go watch it. Rachel Maddow herself said "1000 people." That's really strange to me.
Rachel Maddow:
1) is intelligent/generally well-informed
2) is gay and opposed prop 8
3) is a native of the bay area and presumably knows at least several people who attended
4) said this in the middle of a segment about underreported news!
What's going on?
-----------------------------------
also OMG look what I just discovered: http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/8132577/ They have Keith Olbermann and Rachel Maddow streaming or downloadable in their entirety now.

Prop 8 is bad.
Date: 2008-11-15 09:13 am (UTC)If gays choose to get married...Let them. Find a hobby...I am a musician/actor/artist, collect gi joes, and host a public access show in Hayward. Let the gays do what gays do and thats be gay.
Why force them to marry women? Let gays be gay. I'm gay when they are gay...and I'm also gay when I'm watching Megadeth videos.
So if everyone else wants to be gay, then let the gays be gay.

Meaning that diversity and political correctness need to be used wisely.
