The big three and then some.

GOOD TIMES

Tell me,  dedicated reader - taking  college football and the Oscar red carpet out of the picture - WHAT is more fun than a good off year election night ??!?

I started this late night, early morning election night and was all full of numbers , percentages , maps and such. I kept getting deeper and deeper into it, and by the time I was braking down Mississippi , county by county - I realized I had a problem. " Hello, my name is Kyle and I am addicted to political minutia ". So, I am sparing you this... not that you would not skip over it and go straight to a dinner or a happy Koda out in the bushes.

What the heck was that?

All the good little Democrats cowering in their wet beds,  full of nothing but fear in a post 2010 tea bag induced stupor... sort of woke up. In Ohio, more folks came out to vote down their Darth Governor's little union stripping law, than voted for the Governor himself. ( loved his baffled look post hob nailing ). Kentucky kept all Democrats in its top leadership. Mississippi voted down an abortion ban. Work your head around that one.... Mississippi, the reddest of all the red states, voted a Christian Right bill down. 

The whack job big brother Dominionists out there tried this bill twice before in their own back yard out in Colorado, losing huge both times, re-grouped and headed south.

It's Mississippi for crying out loud. Given the vote ,the dear people there decided to keep their stars and bars on the state flag. ( look up Ole Miss Bear , if you need more insight ) and a purely religious " personhood bill" - that fertilized egg had every right as a grown man or woman, was voted down. Many times on this blog we have told you that it was not really abortion that they are after but contraception.. which is what this bill was about, and Mississippi woke up to them.

" Is this heaven ?; No, it's Iowa ".  The little midwestern enclave of hope, Iowa had the chance to flip its Senate and get rid of same sex marriage once and for all, and chose not too. Poor Maggie and her NOM pals can see the writing on the wall. Minnesota is next. Out in Arizona, the dick head that was the man behind the curtain for  Governor Jan Brewer's Papers Please law was recalled outright. Deep in the heart of Texas out and proud lesbian mayor Annise Parker was re-elected, with out a run off. Many fresh new gay faces were elected.

AND in the most personally life changing election result of all, our Holiday Home of Dunwoody, Ga.. the little city that could , passed a SUNDAY SALES law!!! Dunwoody's First Lady, M. Susan L. Spencer the press that " well, now I will never know what day it is".
