This one phrase keeps going thru my head with the way politics are going.

We are so screwed.
We are so screwed.

Note to self: Stop being such a pessimist :-(

Well, I hope the governor moves to strip the heartless NC legislature. They'll be out on their asses if they're not careful.

I have been saying for a few years now that we don't have one country any more. It's just not divided quite so clearly as it was during the Civil War. :o
