Election Day Fuck-Yeahs

Posted on the 07 November 2012 by Jillofalltrades @JillDeTrabajos
1. They made it hard for us to find our voting location (1 tiny sign hidden around the corner, in a building tucked in the back).  But we called the fucking Board of Elections and got us some legitimate directions, and we got in there and voted the SHIT out of those ballots.  15 minutes before closing.  Fuck yeah!
2. Uh, I realize he's not perfect, but I can't pretend I'm not glad Obama won.  I am.  I'm very glad.  Fuck yeah for vaginas and progress!

My favorite Obama picture.  I can't help it, it's adorable.


3. Wisconsin (you badass people, you) elected the first openly gay US senator.  Fuck yeah!

Rep. Tammy Baldwin


4. Maine and Maryland have both legalized same-sex marriage, and it looks like Washington is doing the same thing.  Fuck yeah!

OMG! A double rainbow!


5. Massachusetts legalized medical marijuana, and Washington legalized it even for recreational purposes (21+ of course)!  I don't use any drugs myself, but I believe in both the harmlessness and value of marijuana, especially for medical use, so...fuck yeah!
6. Oregon once again turned down privately-owned casinos (this one is more personal, because the areas around the casinos tend to be completely sucky and we don't want that.  Plus the Native American-owned casinos donate to keep Oregon beaches and other nature spots clean and maintained--private casinos wouldn't do that.  There's more, I'm not going to go deep into it, but I'm glad).  Fuck yeah!

My beautiful, awe-inspiring home state.  *Wipes away pride/homesickness tear*


Look out, Vancouver, WA.  You're about to get some serious Portlanders all up in your business.  Watch both the economy and the population there go up big-time.  And it's especially hilarious since I know so many Portlanders that are all snooty about Vancouver...but it's about to get REAL popular.
Bless you, America!

This was the only picture I could find of women with an American flag that weren't wearing American-flag bikinis.  No joke.  So...fuck yeah Betsy Ross!
