I just added my site to Seattle Weblogs, Michael Montoure’s aggregate of Seattle-area bloggers. I look forward to seeing some of these folks over coffee (their Meetup group gathers every third Wednesday). Getting to know your neighbors never goes out-of-style.
The networks just called Ohio for Bush. If the American people end up choosing him again, then I’m sorry, it’s on. I’m talking about Americans of conscience, about me, conducting concerted, memetic warfare against conservatism, proto-fascism, Christian fundamentalism, anti-science, American exceptionalism, smug stupidity and crushing apathy. My children will not grow up in a country owned by anti-democratic motherfuckers.
I’m ashamed that I let others fight this fight and did not step up. That’s changed. You want a radicalizing moment? Here you go.
Bush, our Infallible Leader, has us all energized to vote. Luna was a permanent resident for a long time, so she couldn’t vote in any presidential elections until this year. She’s a citizen now and intends to can poor G.W. She registered this Summer, signing up at the Columbia City Farmer’s Market. Later on, I received my absentee ballot but not hers. Which was worrisome. So on Saturday we scooted downtown to the Election Office to pick hers up. After work today we worked through the ballot, rollerballs in hand and The Stranger’s 2004 Election Cheat Sheet for guidance. Licking shut an envelope never felt so good.
In this novel, John C. Wright paints a dazzling vision of a transhuman society 10 millennia into our future. I’m reading it in 20 minutes chunks on the bus.
