I'm angry.
On Tuesday, the Grand Old Party in the Senate decided it'd be fun to block the National Defense Authorization Act. This act contained two very important things: the DREAM Act (which would allow immigrants who came to the U.S. illegally as children to gain legal citizenship if they met certain requirements) and a repeal of the "don't ask, don't tell" military policy (which currently bans openly gay, lesbian, or bisexual individuals from enlisting in the military).
The current political state of affairs in the United States is making me feel nauseated.
Stephen Colbert brought a smile to my face today though. http://www.cnn.com/video/#/video/politics/2010/09/24/bts.colbert.testifies.cnn
Wow thanks for the Colbert link. How is it that an actor/media figure seems to be the most passionate political activist out there at the moment? It makes me a little ashamed. No, a lot ashamed.
