A selection of this morning’s Twitter<\/a> messages:<\/p>\n

Damn it, I have a headache! I thought electing Obama would FIX THINGS!
— John Scalzi<\/a> (eater<\/a> of Schadenfreude Pie<\/a>)<\/p>\n

Prop 8 passed. Goddammit. I will continue to fight for equality for all people, and stand up against bigotry.
— Wil Wheaton<\/a><\/p>\n

and at least 4 was defeated. Abortions for all, miniature American flags for others!
— Michaela Schlocker<\/a><\/p>\n

And my friend Ammy has some encouraging thoughts on The Battle, Not the War<\/a>.<\/p>\n
