Really horrifically unpleasant dreams (I think my subconscious was punishing me for championing nonhuman species' right not to be Evil Hordes, because the aliens in these dreams--hoo boy), followed by this (about which I am so furious and heartbroken that I just . . . there aren't any words for how much I despise the people who did this) and this (ARE YOU HAPPY NOW, WISCONSIN VOTERS? ARE YOU?)--I pretty much hate everything right now.

So the bit in Fellowship where the Balrog leans down and goes GAWOAAWOARRRR!!! in Gandalf's face? Yeah. Like that.

Killing high-speed rail is so short-sighted. I don't expect to live to see it happen myself, but I'm convinced the automobile will end as it began: a rich man's toy.

And the governor-elect is just getting started, too. I fear we have some interesting years ahead.

What's really really stupid was that they *didn't* kill high speed rail: they killed any chance of Ohio and Wisconsin being part of the new backbone, and stopped themselves getting paid for that privilege (when I know Ohio at least is desperately short on cash.)

The way things stand now, I expect at some time in the future, both states will end up as detours off the main line, at a much greater expense.
