'Chrismukkah is...the 'state of mind' interfaith families find themselves in this time of year.' Oy.
An Alabama legislator is trying to prevent 'purchase of textbooks or library materials that recognize or promote homosexuality as an acceptable lifestyle.'
And he has President Bush's ear
NY Times editorial (requiring a free subscription) on Bush's proposed privitization of social security: 'There is, by the way, a precedent for Bush-style privatization. One major reason for Argentina's rapid debt buildup in the 1990's was a pension reform involving a switch to individual accounts - a switch that President Carlos Menem, like President Bush, decided to finance with borrowing rather than taxes.'
List of Positives
* The Williamsburg city council voted unanimously to add sexual orientation to its equal employment opportunity policy.
* I made latkes and they came out well (this is a 1st).
* I have a B in IA, meaning that I got above the class average.
* Hanging out with Chris Browne yesterday was fun.
* Orwoll liked the rock candy enough to have the story put in the chemistry newsletter for alumni.
* 5 day break between finals
* Michelle's "You know you're in Utah when..." list
* Jason got a movie about Caligulua that's rated NC-17 but decided to watch it in his room rather than in the Russian house lounge when the opening showed that is was produced by Playboy.
* Had helpful conversations with both Chancey and Laura S. yesterday.
* Laura W. (my roommate) rocks.
* It's been really warm.
Ed - Geoffrey the giraffe taught me the ways of love.
Me - Can I quote you on that in my away message?
Tex - I hate it when people use stuff other people said in their away messages!
Ed - Sure you can use it, so long as you follow it with what Tex just said.
