morning wrapup
Mar. 20th, 2003 11:10 amOK, I was going to do the head-in-sand thing today, and then I read my email and LJ and now I'm depressed all over again. Sigh.
The Plaid Adder on why we shouldn't believe that Bush's goal is to bring democracy to Iraq.
Text of Senator Robert Byrd's speech to the US Senate yesterday afternoon.
I would really like to go to tonight's anti-war rally in Boston, but I won't be able to make it. It's at 5pm at Government Center, and there's no way I can do that, considering I work till at least 6. Yeah, I know the peace organizations are calling for a "walk-out" and "No business as usual" today, but that's in fantasy dream-world. Here in the Real World, a person has responsibilities, and can't just walk out of work whenever she feels like it. Not that I'm bitter or anything.
Also, for those of y'all who missed the last few minutes of "Angel" due to war coverage, check out this post by![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
debchan. Although, honestly, you didn't miss much.
I talked to my mom on the phone last night; can't remember whether I mentioned that in yesterday's post. She made the obligatory "maybe I'll just stay in Hawaii forever" joke, which I knew she would, but it still irked me and I snarked at her for it. I didn't want to actually tell her how hard it is for me, not having her here at this scary time. I mean, she should be allowed to enjoy her vacation despite badness in the world, I guess. She said they visited the Pearl Harbor museum yesterday, which must have been pretty surreal.
More later.
