IMMEDIATE DESTINATION
Copenhagen, Denmark
December 2nd
Pittsburgh, PA
Hi All
It's been a great great year for me in so many ways, but I end 2009 depressed, disgusted and demoralized ... 30,000 more soldiers headed to the place where empires go to die - Afghanistan... And the cobbled piece of dung that they're calling our health care plan is so disappointing. It seems like the only thing politicians in this country can agree on is that women are second-class citizens (what with all their crazy bodily parts that are not at all like normal penises). What happened to all the hope and change we were promised? Obama can't even sign the Land Mines Treaty. Bah, humbug...
I'm headed in a couple days to Copenhagen, where the pundits say the chances of any meaningful action on climate change range from extremely unlikely to utterly impossible. Still, I will gladly join the 30,000+ people in the streets urging our leaders to do better. And I'll continue to work and hope that next year will be better.
