I voted

We voted our asses off, and I hope you did, too.  It is indeed time for change.

Ugly, ugly.

In an e-mail yesterday from my dad:

Subject: Dear Mr. Obama

I know there's a good Obama representation in the recipients  - but this is one ,of the reasons those of us with a military background, distrust Obama so much...

My reply (I replied to everyone he sent the message to, and added a few of my own):

And this is one of the many reasons why those of us with a uterus distrust McCain so much:

My uncle's reply today (career military, 4 star general, very respected):

I hope you don't hate all who told variations of this joke twenty two years ago. However, feel free to let your uterus vote.

He sent that to everyone, including the people I added in my message.  Um, dick much?  What does that say about McCain supporters?  I certainly hope the intention there wasn't to sway my opinion.

My final reply, sent only to my uncle:

Hating someone is different than voting them into office -- rape jokes are base and classless.  As a woman in this country you bet I'm letting my uterus do my voting for me -- I've even trained it to hold a pencil.  :)

For the record, I'm not a stick in the mud, and I'm not a prude.  I happen to think that there are subjects that aren't appropriate for any kind of joke... say the Holocaust and, oh, I don't know.  Rape.  I don't care if you told that joke 20 years ago or tomorrow, if you think that's funny, then you suck. 

And that's that.

I promise I won't get all preachy
