And in other IMPORTANT news...

32 times, the basic civil right of marriage has been defeated at the polls. The haters and fear mongerers kept trying, but they've lost their hold:

In Maine, marriage-equality proponents have the upper hand, 55-45.

In Maryland, the contest is very close: 51 percent to 49 percent, with same-sex marriage supporters with a slight edge.

In Minnesota, the question is worded slightly differently as a matter of banning same-sex marriage. Opponents of the ban are leading, 57-42.

Washington State hasn't reported in yet.

3 and 32, and lets hope it's 4 and 32 when the sun rises

It is most fitting

“I cannot, for my nation, my culture, my class, demand privileges which I refuse other groups.”

Eleanor Roosevelt

It is a terrible thing that so many of this great nation's politicians have not and will not grasp this ideal. But yesterday, the people spoke, and spoke loudly, clearly and with great emphasis. In Maryland, in Maine, In Minnesota and hopefully in Washington State, too, voters turned away from the hate and the lies and gave all of their citizens the same privileges that the majority enjoy.

The fiftieth anniversary of Eleanor Roosevelt's passing is today. With yesterday's election results, I think she'd be pleased to see how her work as continued.

Shhh, don't tell anyone

BUT I HAVE MY POWER BACK!!!!

And with this freak storm, I may lose it again. I flinch every time the wind hits the house.

My bedroom is warm, I have clean sheets on my bed, I will have a hot shower soon.

I have survived.
