On the night of November 4th, I was as excited as anyone to go to my friends’ election party and watch history unfold. It’s official; America is not completely lacking in poor judgment (at least ~67 million of us aren’t). But with the passing of Prop 8, and Detroit on its knees, recently it’s felt like the day after the wedding, as my co-worker Molly puts it. I’ve never actually had a wedding myself. But I imagine that it’s this big whole exciting affair with friends, drink, a very expensive flowers. Then you wake up the next day, hungover, stuck with some very expensive apparel that you’ll never wear again, and depending on your relationship with the in-laws, quite possibly $50K in the hole. Welcome to November 18th, except the deficit is quite a bit larger.
That is of course, unless you’re seen on Madison Avenue shopping in the middle of the afternoon. Still, even the other half has to cut back a bit, just to be, “you know, a good person.”
