No, it's not because lj isn't "hip" anymore. It's because it doesn't feel right. I will continue to read my friends' postings (here's looking at you, krazyhippie), but this isn't the person I am anymore. I'm starting over, and anyone who wants to is welcome to follow.
I'm also now on twitter. @kwpdb8

So. Barack Obama. Some speech last night.

Made the terrible mistake of not going to Border's until 11:45. Didnt get my book until 2. Came home and read until 5, at which point I could not stay awake any longer, and slept until 11:30. Woke up, resumed reading, Finished at 5pm or so.

I think everyone on this side of the pond should see this. Because Keith Olbermann is right. Watching this made me so angry that I cried, so angry that it was physically painful. There's just no excuse. None. This, in conjunction with the blanket assertion of executive privilege to circumvent damning information of wrongdoing, with flagrant ( Read more... ) -
On Tuesday...
I don't make public entries often (ever), but I'm making this one public, in the hopes of having more people read it and realize how truly disturbing it is. If you are able to, I would encourage you to read my good friend Kern's facebook note about the Military Commissions Act, signed into law by the president on Tuesday ( Read more... )
