Meat, I am so proud of you! What a fantastic thing to have done. Wow. I really am quite impressed. With that kind of dedication, hard work, forebearance with the folks thinking you're going to hell (right back at you, folks), etc., how could things not go for Kerry?

Being in a solidly blue/Kerry/foregone-conclusion-type state can sometimes be anticlimatic, though I do not miss the political ads.

Bravissimo, Meat-issimo. You truly do rock the vote but have far better taste in music than those pimping for that particular organizing effort!

Can I move back to a blue state?

We'd love to have you back in the blue, Meat! We're asking all sane, logical and reasonable people to come back to the light.

Man...

I was actually in Texas the day after the election. The mood was quite different, as you might imagine.

All I can say is it was a very unusual feeling riding down the George Bush (Sr) Expressway listening to radio coverage of Kerry's concession.

And, Meat, to turn an Elvis Costello phrase, we'll consider you "Almost Blue."
