Inland, Dreaming of Waves

A few notes on politics

I just wrote a letter to Colorado's new senator, Ken Salazar, asking him to vote against Alberto Gonzales for attorney general. After all, as New Donkey says, he's the "Poster Boy for Torture."

And there's the message from a friend of mine talking about the "nuclear option" in the Senate (the Republicans are so mad about Democrats blocking 10 out of 204 Bush nominees for judgeships that they want to end the practice of filibusters).

Sign the petition against the nuclear option at People for the American Way:

Senators are supposed to "advise and consent" on nominations for judgeships. Democrats need the filibuster so that they can prevent some of the radical judges the Republicans appoint from actually getting onto our courts.

Check out Sex Scenes at Starbucks' post on the anniversary of Auschwitz. It's awesome.
