Keith Olbermann on Prop 8. Amazing.

I’ve seen a lot of footage from Election night a week ago.  This footage from Seattle is awesome.

If this doesn’t make Geets love Seattle, I don’t know what will. … also, Rajiv, isn’t that QFC / Shell station combo the one from Pike and Broadway?  That’s two blocks from my old place!  That’s my hood!

Edit:  Proof it is!

rajiv: that is fantastic.  Seattle is clearly (one of) the best place(s) ever.

I’m still in blissful shock about the election.  I watch this video and want to dance in the street—again, today—to celebrate.

And then I think: 46% of America actually tried to make this not happen (of those who voted, anyway).  We were so happy, so sure this was right that we danced in the street when the TVs told us we won, we waved flags and hoisted signs and hugged strangers, and still almost half the people went home disappointed.  It’s hard to fathom.

update: who are the 46% people?  Irrelevant racist southerners.

“ Salt pork, as you know, is *delicious*.

Before Sunrise again.
Ha!  I like Big Nate.  The analysis isn’t bad either, though a little optimistic.

I miss the STOP button

Ever since the iPod came onto the scene, with its play/pause button but no stop, the damn stop button has been quickly going extinct.  All the online video sites - YouTube, Vimeo, Hulu - lack stop buttons.  My zune just has a play/pause and a button to go back.  Sometimes I don’t want to just pause something, I want to stop it.  Why am I not allowed to stop?
