Compromise?
Okay, so right now this minute the Virgina legislature is trying to make life begin at conception, which, of course, would make birth control pills illegal.
Delegate Vivian E. Watts, Fairfax Democrat, proposed an amendment Monday to ensure that contraception would remain legal, but it was rejected.
They are also trying to copy Texas’ transvaginal ultrasound bill, forcing women to undergo an unnecessary and invasive medical procedure prior to doing something that is perfectly legal. It’s akin to forcing men to having a rectal exam prior to purchasing a beer.
On the other side, we’re trying to give gay people the same civil rights that the Republicans want to give to fetuses. They hate that.
Compromise? When hell freezes over.
Same deal with the parties trying to decide Texas redistricting. They are back in court today after after spending Valentines Day throwing paper and words at each other.
Republicans are hell bent on cutting Austin into enough pieces to qualify for a jigsaw puzzle. Democrats are damned and determined to save Congressman Lloyd Doggett’s seat. This morning they made the point, “You can not totally destroy communities of interest, for one purpose and one purpose only – to get Congressman Doggett.”
I am following this closely because Lloyd Doggett is a fluffy white boy worth saving.
Yesterday, they could have filed stalking charges against me for Michael Li . Take a shower, check Michael, go to the grocery store, check Michael, post something here, check Michael, eat, check Michael with the other hand. All day.
Micheal’s website is an amazing opportunity to watch sausage being made. He and several others are tweeting in the courtroom and even if you don’t have a twitter account, you can follow it.
I love this stuff. Yes, I do.
