too pretty to be mad...

It is a GORGEOUS late spring style day outside...sunny...light clouds...upper 60's...and I find crule and unusual that I had to back in from having a lovely lunch in Central Park...it's almost too pretty outside to be mad about anything...but then again, may I remind you of who we have in office...

Still let's look at the some of the positivity:

*Yesterday, there was a rally in Union Square just made of up of women thinking of and defending the women of South Dakota.

*Code Pink got a petition signed by over 100,000 women against the war in Iraq delivered to the White House

*Dubai Ports World has pulled out of the port deal made with the White House due to mounting pressure from Congress and the public. The GOP actually messed something up for the President rather just rubber stamping it. No matter if this was a safe deal or not (though knowing this administration, it at least was sketchy), it's nice to know that George woke up cranky this morning...and because of his own people.

*Apparently Republicans are finally getting the message that George is a petulant dumbass as well, according to a recent poll more of them believe the President and his cronies are not doing such a great job afterall...particularly as a majority of Americans believe a civil war will break out in Iraq...

*Nothing is firm in an election year...the Budget Committee has sent Bush's budget plan back to him sans his tax breaks and cuts to medicare...

*and Planned Parenthood has started and Action Fund to fight states, including New York from turning into South Dakota...it is a sad time when we have to worry about this...

IN THE MEANTIME...

things still be pissed about:

The Boston Archdiocese has decided to halt adoptions from their branch of the Catholic Charities as Massachusetts has anti-discrimination laws that will not allow them to ban gays from adopting children. 8 members of the Catholic Charities board resigned in protest last week (applauding them), but I think the Boston Archdiocese could use a note from you about this. Gay couples are ready to offer safe, loving homes to children who need them and to even consider closing off a good sized section of the populus to these children is a disservice to both the ready and willing couples and the children. Of course, Mitt Romney begs to differ...BASTARDS!!!!!!

*The President and the EPA want to make it easier for polluters to hide their polluting...

so what do you do? KEEP EMAILING!!! Email call write fax your friends and family, the press and your COngressfolk, and let them now that you are PAYING ATTENTION!!! And perhaps remind the Democrats to get some focus for 2006, let alone 2008.

Peace --Alex
