Making the second term official on MLK Day-pretty exciting, little exploitative. Been trying to watch the YouTube live things but all the streams are slammed. All except Al Jazeera. *lol*

H.R. 3590 passes 219 to 212. On to Reconciliation. Oh boy. I wonder if any Republican's speech will fail to mention abortion.

Whoa. Something about me has changed. Just got home after a date with AndrewFashion and the first thing I did was bring up C-SPAN to watch the health care debate. It is exciting though. For instance, Barny Frank (D-Massachusetts) claims the GOP stands for "Grandstand Oppose Postpone." Good stuff.

Limbaugh: Scozzafava "Guilty Of Widespread Bestiality; She Has Screwed Every RINO In The Country"

Such a great quote for those who enjoy fundamentalist hypocrisy. Can see all the good little Christian boys and girls looking up at their parents and asking, "What's widespread bestiality?" That's serious family values there.

Caught a good portion of the Sonia Sotomayor confirmation/inquisition today on C-Span. Senator Sessions really got annoying after a while yet Sen. Graham was the asshole of the day.

Disappearing for a day right now would be more selfish than awareness raising. Instead of a passive protester, every day I am an active reminder by being out at work and unafraid of ( Read more... )

Wow. No one can escape Prop 8 - The Musical as it works social viral magic, from Facebook to MSNBC. Sure it's a bit late yet the humor and awareness helps. Maybe the next electoral hate cycle will enable collection of some gay marriage/divorce litigation dollars…

Relived both that the election is over and that McCain/Palin were so soundly defeated. It was amazing the types of straws Republicans were grasping at and how well they worked. The wife of my guild leader was making this incredible statement: “10 girls have died from that HPV vaccination. Obama will kill my girls if he's elected and his universal ( Read more... )

Two Words: Fucking Brilliant.

The angry mob outside the window is damn good… as are the oil rigs. Yet the tickers on the monitor are only slightly less wondrous than the “Learnin's Hard” on the empty diploma frames or the red phone.
