tu me absolvas?

Okay, I have a confession to make. I avidly scout for [Columbus Alive](http://www.columbusalive.com/) to read...

Savage Love. I admit it. I'm coming out of the closet as a sex advice column voyeur. Why? Partly to see how the other 7/8 lives, but mainly because Dan Savage is adroitly, bitchily, hysterically good at giving advice. You don't believe me? Go to his [archives](http://www.thestranger.com/authors/dansavage.html) and look up his "DTMFA" columns. (that's short for "Dump The Mother Fucker Already) for those of you who don't want to go to the trouble.

Anyway, I grabbed the paper today at the library and what I read gives me the greatest hope since before the election. So I'm going to quote part of it here, and suggest that if it intrigues you that you go get a copy, because you won't be able to read it on line until next week.

Here's my favorite part:
"...here's how we get through a second Bush term: For at least the next four years, American lefties, artists and queers should not consider this land our land, it is not a land of opportunity that spreads from sea to shining sea. No, we live on a chain of islands, an archipelago, not a continent.
Sane people live on our islands---New York, San Francisco, Denver, Seattle, Portland, Madison, Austin, Boston and on and on, basically all the cities, in red states and blue, that voted for Kerry---and we may not be the majority right now, and it may feel like sea levels are rising, but, hey, we own all the best real estate. We've got the cities, the Northwest, the Midwest and West Coast. And what have they got? The WalMarts, the West Virginias, The Alabamas, the McMansions and the mega-churches.
Fuck 'em. let 'em have that crap. We'll fight the fuckers in two years during the midterm elections and take back Congress. And we'll take 'em on again in four years and take back the White House. In the meantime, enjoy island life."

Yeah! Go Dan. And since it'll take at least two years to move to Canada anyhow...
