It hurts.
Troy's execution is in progress.  They said within half an hour, but then they immediately said it's happening.
His death certificate will read "homicide".  Good.  The state murdered someone tonight.
How dare we tell other nations not to execute when we do.
Ouch

Troy Davis

Today has been difficult.
How could GA even think of such a thing?  There is reasonable doubt in this case.  At least the Supreme Court issued a reprieve - how often do they do that? - and it could be anywhere between 1 hr and 7 days for something to happen.  No one can know.
But it's SOMETHING.  They've intervened once before, but the new hearing the SC ordered he be given was a joke.  The court called the new evidence "Smoke and mirrors".  My ass.  The world is protesting his execution.  Paris, Berlin, Bremen, Iceland, New York, San Francisco, Seattle, etc. etc. etc.  Troy's sister says "people are saying "I am Troy Davis" in words he can't understand." and gave an indication he feels humbled by such support.  (but support isn't the right word - deep feelings, empathy, hope, etc.)  He's had people from the Pope, Jimmy Carter, a former head of the FBI, etc. etc.
If they go through with this, there's blood on their hands.
Good luck, Troy.  We're all with you.  "We Are Troy Davis."

How silly.  I know exactly what I want to say on facebook.  I say everything there.  I can't come up with anything in my head to write here yet.
I'm applying at various House Representatives' and Senators' offices using a basic cover letter and a resume formatted as a Bill.  I think it's rather clever.
I was going to mail them to DC, but Rep. Frank recommends people email him because it can take several weeks for mail to make it through the screening process.  So, I'm going to email it.  It's easier than going to the post office.  Cheaper, too.
I'm also (email?) mailing Dr. DoLittle a resume with a very sarcastic cover letter.  "If you want to create jobs, start with me."  "I disagree with everything you represent, but want very much to work in your office."  "I am a self starter, good with research and will gladly provide advice as necessary."  "I will not begrudge my position when you loose the election.  My experience with your office will make me marketable to the next Representative, with whom I can work toward building the kind of America I would be proud to live in."  Something along those lines.
I'll apply to as many as possible here in GA.  "Sure I could be a pussy and move to Portland or New York or I can stay and change the place where I was born."  Lady Liberty Is Not A Whore, Andrew Jackson Jihad.

Thoughts

Most of my thoughts are shared openly on facebook, for better or worse.  This will be for longer thoughts or items I'd prefer not to lose, like the extended comments I post that are deleted from Gingrey's page.
THAT was funny!
Maybe more extended "papers" or research I'm unable to fit into facebook except in a note.  I hate notes.

Fun times!

I didn't realize I already had a blog account via Google.  It was bizarre to discover my chosen link was gone.  BeyondHamilton shouldn't be a very common choice for a link.
So take that!  More tomorrow.  It's 1:15am!
