Bah

I was fairly depressed over the election results yesterday, and am just saddened that Bush won. Of course a million words have been written already about people's opinion on the matter, so I won't add too much to it. I'll just add this link to a place on the BBC website where people from all over the world have posted their views on the election.

My other big worry became a reality when Oregon passed its measure banning gay marriage. Of the states voting on this issue, we had the narrowest margin, but I was hoping Oregon's progressive nature would win and be an example to the rest of the nation. No such luck. At least Tom Potter won the race for mayor of Portland and Ron Wyden won for senate.
