ding dong! the bells are gonna chime!

disclaimer: i wasn't going to make this a political blog and that is still my intention. this however, is going to be a political post. the opinions of this blog are unabashedly liberal. if that bothers you, i'm sorry, but i still encourage you to read it.

yesterday morning, i was in a mood.

we had been waiting for the supreme court to rule on DOMA and Prop 8 and not only had they not, but they had essentially gutted the Voting Rights Act, disenfranchising minority voters in the very places that had tried so hard to keep them from voting not 7 months ago. so i was pissed.

and i was pissed that very few people seemed to care.  and i said something snarky on facebook about how i wished that even half the people who had so gleefully been coming up with butter puns about paula deen days before cared that discrimination was just made law by the supreme court.

and i was scared about what that meant for the marriage cases coming up.

and then, through social media, i heard about wendy davis. and my day totally changed.
