Oh, holy crap.

Two confirmed dead in Metro collision on the red line.

That's the one thing I was always terrified of when I was on the Metro. (DC folks, you're all right, yeah?)

PA Senator Eichelberger: "We're Allowing Gay Couples To Exist"

"And now they're asking for marriage rights, too? Jeez, we're not killing you people, isn't that enough?! GOD."

I hate this fucking state sometimes.

I swear to God, as soon as I save up enough money, I am moving out of this shithole state and going to live with the hippie Commie liberals.

It probably wasn't the best idea, but I fired off an angry, "Oh, THANK YOU for allowing my gay friends to exist!" email to him before digging up my own state senator's email and urging him to vote against a same-sex marriage ban. Doubt it'll work -- stupid backwards state -- but I had to vent somehow.

Well, maybe the aide who reads it will be some poor closeted college kid and your email will give him hope. Hey, it could happen.

Haven't been on the Metro for 2 weeks. It's all so sad. Hopefully there won't be more casualties than there already are reported.

Fine --nobody at our house was on the Metro today. It's scary, though.

Ah, the PA legislature. Pure class, as always. *cries*

I take that train -- I was on the one behind the one that collided. If I'd left work five minutes early, I'd have been on it. As it was, it took me 3+ hours to complete my 55-minute commute home but I'd much rather that than have been on one of those trains!

Oh, man. I'm glad you're all right. *hugs*
