DADT was finally repealed, which is awesome, but the DREAM act and the child marriage prevention bill were defeated. The latter especially shows a lot of Congressional Rethugs to be creeps. Might be used to fund abortion? Really? Could be used to usurp pro-life laws? REALLY?!

It’s the kind of attitude that makes me want to donate to groups that really DO provide abortion services in developing countries.

I probably should care about Wikileaks, but everyone is talking about Julian Assange so much that I don’t want to hear about it anymore.

There will be a lunar eclipse tonight. If I stay up to see it, I will be miserable tomorrow, but seeing how I feel today after a reasonable amount of sleep, I probably don’t have much to lose.

One of my friends on Livejournal pointed to a non-profit offering assistance to battered women. The non-profit is called “A Woman’s Place.” Really?! You start a non-profit to help battered women, and you call it THAT?

I’m also hearing about a Serbian dude who got so drunk while on vacation in Egypt that he jumped in the water and landed on a shark’s head. He’s in the news because, instead of getting eaten, he ended up killing the shark. File this under D for “Don’t try this at home, guys.”

I spent the weekend trying to bully my brain into complying with an attempt to write a synopsis for Charlinder. The brain demands more alcohol.
