The California Assembly has become the first state legislature in the US to pass a bill endorsing gay marriages. YAY California! I knew you were good for something ;)

No matter how random or pointless. Then, post this in your journal and see who asks you what...

Also, yeah, yeah, I finally sorted myself. And the result isn't all that surprising:

Just updated my ljarchive and reexported all my entries. Over 5 years, I have 42MB of html files! 3,661 entries and 10,577 comments. And I thought I'd give this thing up after a few weeks.

Right. Going to go find food. Then maybe do some work.

passed along by punkydee: Viggo Mortensen and Perceval Press authors and artist statements on the government and the response to Katrina.

Here's Viggo's passage:
In the often and rightly quoted words of Bill Clinton, "There's nothing wrong with America that can't be fixed by what's right with America." We see now how individuals and groups around the country are acting in any way they can to help their fellow citizens in Louisiana, Mississippi and other devastated places near the Gulf of Mexico. They refuse to stand idly by and wait for President Bush and his morally-bankrupt, pirate administration to respond in an appropriately urgent and compassionate manner to the escalating agony and desperation of our fellow citizens. This agony and desperation was caused in large part by a near complete absence of adequate federal government funding, preparedness, and leadership. We the people will continue to help Americans and non-Americans alike, with or without the participation or approval of George W. Bush and his Neo-Conservative cohorts. While it is true that what is most important right now is to rescue, feed, house, and in any way possible care for those immediately affected by the disaster, it is equally true that in the long run those directly responsible for aggravating the tragic situation must be held accountable. The mounting evidence of the Bush administration's criminal mismanagement of the nation, as well as its consistently arrogant disregard for our planet's people and natural environments must be confronted immediately. Those who voted for Bush last year, or who have continually supported his outlaw administration in its destructively dishonest conduct, including not only extremist conservatives but also politically-calculating democrats, need not hang their heads or avert their eyes now. What they can and ought to do is join the increasing numbers of Americans who are demanding that presidential impeachment proceedings be initiated as soon as possible. Members of the Bush Administration responsible for the blatant lies and self-serving manipulations that have fanned the flames of disaster from Iraq to New Orleans must be prosecuted as our laws require. We must insist on this. Furthermore, we must not allow these disgracefully unpatriotic public servants to be pardoned by any future president as Gerald Ford did for Richard Nixon. Please call or write your government representatives and help get the scoundrels out of government and in prison where they belong. Do not allow the subject to be changed, do not be distracted. The time to act is now. Take back your country.

Oh, fine, I'll to the LJ interests meme. ( I really am this boring )

ca gay law

California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger has confirmed he will veto a bill endorsing gay marriages.

Gay marriage doesn't hurt anyone -- it's not contagious! It will not end the world. God's wrath will not rain down on you. Get over it.

In March this year a judge ruled that Californian state law had breached a constitutional right to equal treatment of all citizens, irrespective of sexuality. The issue is now expected to go back to the Supreme Court.

Oh yeah, 'cause that will go well, considering who will be doing the judging.


Meh. Going to bed.
