On a more serious note...
I'm going to go out on a limb (slightly) here and offer my congratulations to Plains Feminist and her allies out there in South Dakota. I've been following the saga of the attempted abortion ban out there as recounted in the media and on her blog. I'll be honest: I was rather tense about today's voting. As of right now, it looks like I didn't need to be. The ban is losing by about ten points at the moment, and most of the polls have already reported in.
All I can say is: Fuck Yeah.
Take a bow, rational South Dakotans: you've earned it.
Now: here's hoping we campture another few seats in the Senate!

Thank you!
It was a good night for progressives in South Dakota. And while we are sad that the marriage amendment passed - it only passed by about 12,000 votes. In SD. That means 49% of SOUTH DAKOTANS - people who are still pretty freaked out, gaywise - thought a marriage amendment was a bad idea.
