it makes me giggle
i keep going to news sites so i can read things like this:
"bush asked rumsfeld to resign"
"rumsfeld stepping down"
over and over and over. i just feel all warm inside when i see it.
also, i wonder, is america better off without my vote? since i waited too long to register this year i wasn't able to get my absentee ballot, but almost everything turned out okay. more okay than 2004 anyhow. yes there are some sticky spots about things like gay marriage (what up with that, wisconsin?) and affirmative action (they say they don't need it anymore in michigan, yeah, okay) but seriously, i'm beginning to wonder if maybe my vote doesn't count. maybe it's just everyone elses'.

It's been a hopeful and jubilant past few days. Howard Dean on the Daily Show last night was pretty funny....you could tell he felt really good. Watching all the Republicans playing the blame game is entertaining.
And your vote does count! Some of these races were decided by just several thousand votes. It's crazy.
