Nov 2012

A dry county in OHIO?! I grew up in OH (since I was 11, anyway - Cleveland suburb) and still have family there, and it shocks me what's happened to the state w/ it's sharp turn to the right.

Now I'm stuck in Oklahoma due to hubby's job (for nearly 20 yrs now - ACK!). At least Ohio is still "purple" - OK is as deep, deep red as it gets. The RWers are ignorant as hell, and damned proud of it! Sucks.

YAY to all the Ohioans who gave the state to Obama!! (all my family members included, I'm happy to say.)
