here, have a calmer entry
Apr. 20th, 2011 07:09 pmThat last entry... yeah. Reacting as strongly as I did might have seemed silly, seeing I'm on the periphery of Who fandom, but I reacted anyway, and I couldn't have stopped that reaction if I'd tried. I won't say it doesn't still hurt, peripheral Who fan or not. Look at my journal's subheading for one big reason why. Look at my Fourth era fics for another.
That needed saying. I know that makes it sound like I'm in a horribly gloomy mood, but I'm not. That just... needed saying.
I'm currently caught up in further union and election-type goings-on. The latest news is that there will be a recount, and not simply out of a desire to definitively decide who wins or loses the Supreme Court seat. It's a recount to restore faith in Wisconsin's electoral process, coupled with a request for investigation into Waukesha County's clerk. It's a recount for all the right reasons, and my respect for JoAnne Kloppenburg grows that much greater for it.
As for triggered recalls, the number is currently four, all Republican. There are strong rumors of a fifth coming in the next day or two, as well as one or two on the other side. We'll see, I suppose. I do know that the recall efforts for Taylor and Risser are going absolutely nowhere, which is completely and utterly fine by me. :) One is my senator, the other will be a role model for my daughter, if I ever have one.
Is it silly of me to be trying to come up with daemons a la His Dark Materials for the Fab 14? All this recount chatter's got me wondering what Kloppenburg's would be, too. Hmm. And oh jeez, the 'Walker's a weasel, not a badger' chant makes one idea for his daemon pretty plain... XD
