I am not...I am not the damsel in distress. I am not some case. I have to work this. I've lived in a cave for 5 years in a world where they killed my kind like cattle. I am not going to be cut down by some monster flu. I am better than that. What a wonder...how very scared I am.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

You know something's not right when I feel like I woke up too early, but still later than someone on the West Coast. My problem is really being up too late. I have the world's stupidest stress, as I could be actually doing something about it right now, but yet? Am not.

I think I'm going to have a problem actually watching stuff I tape on the DVR. It just seems weird to watch new primetime TV in the morning, but now is when I have time. A dilemma.

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"

Bush's agenda for this term is toast.

I dunno, so far they've been able to conjure "mandates" from narrow victories (and losses). I'm terrifed they're going to pull another one out of this. God knows they're not above using disaster for their own purposes.

AND it looks like we're going to need a runoff for the Democratic mayoral nomination, over like 12 votes. Which just makes me tired.

What is even happening?

I don't care if they get/earn/grab credit, if they take care of people. I just want to be convinced that people will be taken care of.

"In the equation E = mc⬧, c⬧ is a pretty big honking number." - Scola

though largely I feel the end result is that there will be a lot less poor black people in New Orleans.

See, now, if there were all the same people, this would be a good thing!

Reading a little more about the nursing home people, it seems more complicated. Also, I'm curious if this idea of holding people responsible for the deaths of those they could have evacuated but didn't implies any kind of liability on anyone's part for, say, the hospitals that weren't evacuated.
