FUCK Condaleeza.

I am beyond pissed about the government reaction, or lack thereof, towards victims of Hurricane Katrina, and even more incensed about the cold-blooded reaction of people calling the survivors "looters" and "stubborn" for not leaving - I mean, hello??? Perhaps these people didn't have cars or money, and the fucking Greyhound station closed on Saturday! Perhaps the government should have had a fucking plan in place so that our own countrymen wouldn't be left to die.

Can we just recall the entire fucking administration already?

Anderson Cooper just gave it to Landrieu. My moment of pettiness, gratified.

good news where i can get it

I got an email from Don Perata saying that "The Senate passed Assemblyman Mark Leno’s AB 849 by a 21-13 margin. This vote marks the first time a legislative body in this country passed legislation to legalize gay marriage without court intervention.

I am proud of my Senate colleagues for upholding the virtues of equality that are the foundations of our country. I hope our counterparts in the Assembly will vote for this measure as well. Please email your representative in the Assembly to encourage their support of AB 849. You can find your Assembly representative by visiting the Assembly website at http://www.assembly.ca.gov."


I have not seen coverage of this anywhere else, and Google turns up nothing but an earlier vote.
