HARVEY MILK: My name is Harvey Milk, and I want to recruit you. I want to recruit you for the fight to preserve your democracy. Brothers and sisters, you must come out. Come out to your parents. I know that it is hard and will hurt them but think about how they will hurt you in the voting booth! Come out to your friends, if they indeed are your friends. Come out to your neighbors, to your fellow workers. Once and for all, break down the myths, destroy the lies and distortions. For your sake. For their sake. For the sake of the youngsters who are becoming scared by the votes from Dade to Eugene. On the Statue of Liberty it says “Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to be free.” In the Declaration of Independence it is written “All men are created equal and are endowed with certain inalienable rights.” For Mr. Briggs and Mrs. Bryant and all the bigots out there, no matter how hard you try, you cannot erase those words from the Declaration of Independence. No matter how hard you try, you cannot chip those words from off the base of the Statue of Liberty. That is what America is. Love it or leave it.

I just genuinely have no idea what to think. I’m thinking a bunch of things at once. I’m relieved that we might be getting something, incredibly fucking pissed that the assholes in Washington couldn’t do any better … and really scared about what’s going to happen to me, and whether or not my husband and I will actually, not theoretically, be able to afford coverage when this is all said and done, and what will happen if we can’t.

Ditto.

I’m scared that my non-profit company will have to raise our premiums or start to lower our coverage in hopes of saving money by forcing people to look at private insurance plans. I pay almost $140 a month for an individual plan, and who knows how much that would be for the boy and I if we got married. I could go with private insurance, but after seeing my parents jump through hoops with their own private insurance (they’re both self-employed), I really don’t want to go through that hassle.

While I’m incredibly happy that this reform is going through, I’m pissed that it can’t be any better. And I’m pissed that stupid Utah doesn’t care/have a clue/is too brainwashed to pay attention and vote these assholes out of office who are against real reform/against reform for no good reason.

ohnotheydidnt: Brittany Murphy Dies

Brittany Murphy died last night after she went into full cardiac arrest and could not be revived, multiple sources tell TMZ.

She was 32.

The Los Angeles City Fire Department tells TMZ they received a call to a home in Los Angeles that is listed as belonging to her husband, Simon Monjack.

We’re told Murphy was taken to Cedars-Sinai Medical Center where she was pronounced dead on arrival.

Murphy starred in such films as “Clueless,” “8 Mile,” and “Don’t Say a Word.”

“Married women in the U.S. do about 70 to 80 percent of the housework. When women marry, the number of hours they spend on housework increases; for men, it stays the same. When couples have children, her housework increases three times as much as his. Feminist women do less housework than non-feminist women; men married to feminist women do the same amount of housework as men married to non-feminist women.”

Democratic base: We demand X.

Sen. LieberNelsnowe: That’s dead on arrival.

Democratic base: There’s strong support for X.

Sen. LieberNelsnowe: I don’t support it and there aren’t enough votes anyway. Maybe I’ll consider a Jiggered X.

Democratic base: We can’t accept a Jiggered X. How about an opti-X?

Sen. LieberNelsnowe: We need to slow down and get this right. I think maybe I can support an opti-X.

Democratic base: Yay! We no longer demand X. Opti-X it is!

Sen. LieberNelsnowe: I cannot support Opti-X.

Democratic base: Wait, you said…

Sen. LieberNelsnowe: I said I’d think about it which I did. And I’m against it.

Democratic base: Jiggered X?

Sen. LieberNelsnowe: I’d strongly consider it.

Democratic base: (grumble) Fine, okay.

Sen. LieberNelsnowe: I cannot support Jiggered X. How about Expandicare?

Democratic base: (grrrr) Fine, that has some merit. We no longer demand X or opti-X or Jiggered opti-X. Instead, we demand Expandicare!

Sen. LieberNelsnowe: Sorry, I can’t support Expandicare.

Democratic base: What! Why?

Sen. LieberNelsnowe: You accepted it, there must be something wrong with it. Besides, I never said I’d vote for it.

Democratic base: But you suggested it.

Sen. LieberNelsnowe: I suggest a lot of things. Like this: drop Expandicare and I’ll strongly consider not filibustering.

Democratic base: Yay! Let’s do it.

Sen. LieberNelsnowe: Suckers.
