also, something tells me(or at least i hope to God) that THK ain't go away anytime soon. She'll form a tag-team with Arianna Huffington to go after certain causes.

I do miss his not-Bushness though.

I finally caught Outfoxed (the documentary about the GOP's stronghold over FOX News and, by association, the mainstream news media) last night -- if I'd seen that earlier, I would have been firmly convinced that Kerry never stood a chance. Glad I waited long enough to put my vote in.

I sincerely get misty now when I see shots of his campaign and/or the DNC. Such a loss.

Fuck you, Red State'rs.

Haha, yeah so was I, or maybe 'innocence'.

"...Will it follow you around? Will the slow
white hearse of the child of America follow you around?"

(this has nothing to do with anything, I was just reminded of the line...)

actually, you can see that sign anywhere in michigan, illinois, oregon, wisconsin, etc. Just drive about half-an-hour west of Detroit or Flint, or half-an-hour east of Portland.

that's why the red state/blue state thing doesn't hold much water with me. there are too many 49/51 or 51/49 splits...

If you needed any more reason to hate Bush supporters....

This last guy upsets me the most. "If we ignore the terrorists..."? HEY GUINNESS DORK, WHAT EXACTLY DO YOU CALL GOING INTO IRAQ?

Do you have to be ugly as shit to be on that website?

― Bumfluff, Sunday, 14 November 2004 02:42 (twenty-one years ago)

Apparently.

i actually like dan savage's take ... that america is really a sea of red, w/ islands/archepelagoes of blue. said islands/archepelagoes are the cities and immediate suburbs -- like NYC (except Staten Island), Chicago, Los Angeles (except Orange County), Philadelphia, Washington DC, Miami, Baltimore, Boston, etc.

― Eisbär (llamasfur), Sunday, 14 November 2004 03:03 (twenty-one years ago)

The problem with Savage's thesis -- and with most of what's been written about this whole "divide" -- is that it assumes little or no contact and interconnection between the blue and the red. His archipelago model supposes that the islands are in contact with each other but separated from the sea of red around them -- which is maybe how people on all sides feel sometimes, but is obviously absurd. The whole country is networked and connected, and I don't just mean in some technological sense but in a cultural one -- there are ideas and trends and influences flowing back and forth all the time between cities, suburbs and small towns. (Most everybody gets more or less the same basic cable offerings.) The country is much more culturally interconnected than people seem to want to think. Different segments of the population are in the majority or minority in different places, but that's even true within cities, not just between cities and non-cities. As attractive as the archipelago idea might be in explaining people's sense of alienation or frustration, it's a distorted view of the country.
