I don't think following the law on this issue is being unreasonable,
No, really not.
I'm going to bed early. Everything else is despair. I'm trying but it's not feeling like optimistic is reasonable.
Well, you'd better not be thinking what I think you're thinking, because my answer is the same as always — no threesomes unless it's boy-boy-girl. Or Charlize Theron.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

Dinner is turning out to be cheese and chocolate. Seems inevitable now that I find myself here.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I had a lovely evening with some new friends, including listening to a conference call with HRC I got invited to. I'm not sure why I got invited -- I made literally 10 calls for the campaign, and gave $200! But it was kind of cool regardless. She said do stuff in your own community.

I have to go to bed. The internet will still be here tomorrow, right?

Also it's great spending time in a liberal neighborhood of a liberal city in a liberal state, because on my way back to the subway, I walked by an older white man saying, "I just don't understand why if the company lost the money, he gets the deduction!"

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

Nice!
On my way to work I was listening to a playlist full of righteous anger and I realized that it is really specific to the Bush administration. I also have a playlist that is very tied to Obama's inauguration. I guess it's time for a new one now since I'm not fully ready to give in to the Apocalypse Now-ish playlist.

move out and draw fire
The community thing is solid. State Department has been increasingly convinced that the key unit of government is the city, not the state, and that that will become more and more the case. Curious and communities are where things get done. Think globally, act locally, you know.
That said, I think there are some national level efforts needed. The appetite for an outsider for President isn't going to diminish much in the next four years, because the things that provoke it, like globalization and technology, will continue. Both political parties need to find outsider candidates if we don't want eight years of this. The DNC is floating Michelle Obama and Elizabeth Warren, which proves to me that they haven't gotten the message. I would vote for either of those candidates but they are both unelectable. The party needs to be educated that doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result is insane. They may also need suggestions for a viable candidate.
I joked about running, but I am too much of an insider. And not famous.
