It's A Reckoning
Condsidering the Space Jesus money poured in to the successful Cali Prop 8 agenda, it's time for retaliation:
Gay people are fed up and have learned a thing or two about mobilizing themselves -- and not just for angry rallies. Some pro-Proposition 8 folks may come to regret their not so private support of hate. And were you thinking about skiing in Utah this year? Hmmm, Colorado's looking pretty appealing these days.
Yet somehow an economic boycott doesn't feel direct enough; those who team up against gay people must learn that there are consequences.
That's why we are seeking to strip the Mormon church of its status as a religious organization. According to IRS law, "no organization, including a church, may qualify for IRC section 501(c)(3) status if a substantial part of its activities is attempting to influence legislation (commonly known as lobbying)." [Emphasis added.]
Please join our efforts and show the world that gay people -- and their friends and families -- know how to hit back. Sign this petition to support the legal effort to strip the Mormon Church of its tax-exempt status.
Again, we reiterate... SIGN THIS PETITION
It's a reckoning :

Black Community Lynches Equality
Prop 2 here in Florida was going to pass no matter what.
However, new numbers in California show that Prop 8 passed with the aide of higher black turnout:
A few people seem to be interested in whether or not the black vote was decisive.
If the following standard analysis assumptions are true the answer is probably a very close ‘no’, but at least one of the assumptions seems very possibly false and with other fairly likely assumptions the answer looks like a ‘yes’.
My assumptions are:
1. that the vote among black people was as reported (69% Yes on 8).
2. that black people make up 6.7% of the CA population
3. that black people represented a share of the votes equal to their share of the population
I further assume that 8 passes with 52% which seems the likely number at this point.
Given each 1000 voters, black people in CA represent 67 of them.
There are 520 Yes votes and 480 No votes for each 1000.
At 69%, Black voters voted 46 Yes and 21 No for each 1000.
If they voted like White voters (55% No) they would have voted 31 Yes votes and 36 No votes.
That would make the final tally 505 Yes and 495 No votes. (50.5% to 49.5%). [numbers very slightly rounded]
But this analysis is VERY sensitive to assumption #3. It appears that black people in CA may have voted in a greater share than that of their representation of the population. Right around 10% of the vote.
That would mean that given each 1000 voters black people in CA represent 100 of them.
At 69% Yes on 8 that would be 69 Yes and 31 No for each 1000. If they had voted like White voters they would have voted 45 Yes and 55 No. That would make the final vote equal 496 Yes and 504 No (proposition loses 49.6% to 50.4%).
Interestingly, at the 10% vote share level, if a small majority of black people voted against the measure it would have lost (49% Yes, 51% No gives the measure a loss at 49.9%).
Basically, if the black voter share is 10% or higher, the black vote difference from the white vote made the difference so long as the final total is at or below 52%. And if the black voter share is any higher than 10%, it made the difference even if black voters had only split 50-50 instead of the 45-55 shown in white voters.
Worse Than We Imagined
More and more details emerge, detailing what an uneducated cracker Bible Spice was.
From Hot Air:
...It’s too cute by half, as is the detail about NAFTA; they might as well have tossed in a story about her having to guess who’s buried in Grant’s tomb. To believe it, you have to believe she figured out a way to become governor of Alaska while somehow lacking the mental power to piece together which three nations might be involved in the North American Free Trade Agreement. Diehard ‘Cuda-haters like Sullivan will, of course, be more than happy to oblige.
You’ll find another clip from Fox that aired earlier today below the Carl Cameron video. See if you can figure out the thematic link. Exit question: If she’s really this much of an abject imbecile, how did that detail manage to escape the attention of Newsweek? There’s no sign of it in their highlight reel of the dishiest dirt they learned about the campaign, a piece which actually includes a quote from another aide about “Wasilla hillbillies looting Neiman Marcus from coast to coast” as if to prove that they’re not holding back on the ‘Cuda.
Then this classic white trash moment:
At the GOP convention in St. Paul, Palin was completely unfazed by the boys' club fraternity she had just joined. One night, Steve Schmidt and Mark Salter went to her hotel room to brief her. After a minute, Palin sailed into the room wearing nothing but a towel, with another on her wet hair. She told them to chat with her laconic husband, Todd. "I'll be just a minute," she said.
Don't think for a minute that Mittens isn't taking notes and storing this in one giant fucking hard drive.

Where Was This Guy For The Past 18 Months?
Classiest concession speech of the cycle. Seriously, this guy would have had a better chance.
Sully agrees:
It was very classy, very moving, and finally worthy of the man we once thought we knew. Alas, his crowd was as ugly as he was gracious. I fear what will now become of the GOP.

WALNUTS! Wins Kentucky
And the black guy gets Vermont, a state full of elitist sodomists.
McCain: 8 electorals
Obama: 3

Barry Hussein Holds Slim Lead In IN
And the bitters in Kentucky are giving WALNUTS! a slim lead in KY...while clinging to their glocks and Baby Jeebus buttplugs.
via MSNBC
We Voted
Hoorayz!!!
This election clusterfuck is finally over.
After standing in line forever (15 mins) we finally got to vote for that black Mooslim guy...which in Florida translates into 3 votes for WALNUTS!. Also, the only person who was given a hard time at our station was...wait for it...wait for it...a black guy.
After voting, we passed by the local Dem HQ and turned in to the rundown gas station/bait shop, hoping to get a chance to abort a few babies and sodomize a cardboard cutout of Sen. Unicorn. Unfortunately, we only got to do one of those.
The liberal witches axed us to canvass a neighborhood if we had the time...which we did because we try to hold off drinking until atleast noon. (Gin doesn't settle well with cappuccino after only an hour.)
They gave us the blackest neighboorhood that was left...because apparently everyone who volunteered before us was smarter than that. After hitting 4 streets and being threatened by one elderly negress to get the hell off her property, we gave up, turned in our sheets and hit the bar.
Fun times.
Moral of the story:
Going here may be admirable...
But this is much more rewarding...

Matt Drudge In The Tank For Satan
This is what is screaming on Drudge 3 days before the election:
'I WILL CHANGE THE WORLD'
Of course, the actual article has no such quote.
