Happy political news!  Armageddon is upon us!

I love my town's mayor.  Recently, he has issued an official statement in support of Gay Pride week, and will be signing a proclamation about it, which the previous mayor would only do under threat of legal action.   (My province is like Canada's Little Texas when it comes to gays.  Bastards.)  This alone would make me love him.  But he's also said the following about a racist email forwarded around Edmonton's unstoppably corrupt cops recently:

"[There] is no place for people like that in the City of Edmonton's police force or, by my mind, in the city of Edmonton."

Goodbye racists, hello gay people.  I love our mayor.  I should go work for him.

It is nice to see someone in power here in Redneck Central who actually thinks that I'm a human being.

I saw a chick the other day who was dressed like a High School Bitch (the kind that likes to torment geeks like us... you know) and she had a big button that said "I support Gay Marriage." I was torn between hating her (which is the default setting) and loving her. It was strange. Stupid people not fitting into their stereotypical roles.... How am I supposed to make sweeping generalizations and insist that the world owes me for my suffering when there are understanding people around?!

It's just inconsiderate, is what it is. *hugs you*
