Louisiana History
8:19 a.m. - 2003-11-16
Finally, things are looking up for Louisiana.
It's almost too much to believe. A female governor here, in the deepest of the deep south. A Democrat, even. I'm hopeful that that this is an actual beginning of real change. Seriously. I couldn't be happier.
Both candidates were deserving of the title, and I would probably have been happy with either...but I'm glad that Blanco won. The very fact that Jindal, the "foreigner," as I've heard so many people call him, ran such a tight race with a Louisiana native (even though she IS a female) is enough to give me hope for the future.
This is one piece of history that I'm glad to have been a part of.
It's been pouring here all night, and it doesn't look to let up soon. I'm enjoying it tremendously. Even with my extreme disdain for Sundays, I think that today will be a good one. I don't plan to get out of my pajamas all day, and I'm already started on a ton of interesting internet reading. Three-Way Action may just be the best damn site on the planet. I'm in lurve.
AND, I have The Shawshank Redemption (which I've never seen before) to curl up and watch later on.
Happy Sunday. And thank god for the feminists.
