sherry wondered about that. i do think it's psychosomatic, sherry. i think the whole possibility that we might lose roe has just really depressed me. add in that, as readers know, my ex-in-laws nixed me writing in detail about my own abortion here and the whole thing is just making me sick.
you can check out friday's gina & krista round-robin which will have the thing i can't post here because god forbid ex-in-laws be embarrassed. i told my ex-husband i was doing that. he's fine with it and fine with it going up here but his parents will make his life hell if i put it up here so i'll just give it to the round-robin. when gina and krista asked me yesterday if i'd like to participate in their round-robin, i told them i was honestly starting to think i'd somehow pissed them off since they hadn't asked. they said that due to the whole 'you will not put the story of your abortion up at your site' bullshit they didn't want to pressure me since they knew it was a sore subject.
i 1st talked about it at their round-robin so maybe it's karmic that they get the essay?
i'm just glad that it's going out somewhere. not just because i slaved over it but also because i don't like being told to shut up no matter how politely.
Sen. Robert Byrd Calls for Withdrawal From Iraq
Meanwhile on Capitol Hill, the Senate's most senior member, Robert Byrd called for the Bush administration to withdraw from Iraq and bring the troops home. Byrd said "We cannot continue to commit billions in Iraq when our own people are so much in need, not only now, in New Orleans, but all across America for everything from education to health care to homeland security to securing our own borders."
i'm glad byrd stood up. i am wondering where the others are. the party better grasp where the people stand and grasp it quick.
i've been listening to the debate and need to stop here pretty abrupt. i'm going to go do the round-table. i know this hasn't been much and hopefully i'll be feeling better soon.
here are some quotes from the george galloway and christopher hitchens debate moderated by amy goodman.
'i didn't interrupt you so maybe you won't slobber over my remarks' - george galloway to christopher hitchens tonight at the debate. best line of the night so far.
'now it will be a little more free wheeling' amy goodman just said to much laughter. she really is the coolest news broadcaster we have. i can't say enough good things about her.
