Well I’ll be darned. We need that badly, now.

Not just this either. He has been on busy fella trying to dig LA out from underneath the huge budget holes that Jindall dug them…calling and holding special sessions of the legislature. There is a reporter I follow on twitter down that way…and they have been working hard pretty much since he took office. Its a lot of boring number crunching stuff…but that stuff matters too.

Agreed! And I’ll take it a step further - in 99% of cases, the worst possible thing a Dem would do is still head and shoulders better than the best possible thing a 'pub would do!
People need to remember that when their prioritize nursing their hurt feelings and decide to either vote GOP/3rd party or just stay home and pout in November…

Thanks for that post; a light just went on. I couldn’t understand people who say the Democrats have moved leftward, but I realize I was being bit by the age bug. When you were a kid in the sixties, the idea of anything today being even remotely left is jarring.
It proves what can happen when you elect a Human Being rather than a wind up toy as a governor. Now, if Wisconsin, New Jersey, Kansas, Texas,Illinois and Florida would only learn the same lesson.
Edwards’ order only protects State employees. That only leaves a few million citizens out on a limb, with some crazies trying to saw it off. When and If Louisiana does something to protect ALL its citizens, get back to me. Until then, I can’t say I’m encouraged or excited. Mostly because until all the crazies are stopped, the truth remains that no one is safe.

I’m guess R governors from here out will have read the writing on NC financial wall and follow suit with rejecting these BS laws that allow folks to discriminate.
What’s really ridiculous about these laws to me is, what if I’m a person that doesn’t believe in interracial marriage or black and white folks using the same restroom. Can I discriminate on those issue too? Seems like these laws could conceivably allow it.

I got it… in fact I came here to post something similar but you beat me to it.
The actual headline has the advantage of being accurate, though, while your substitute isn’t. There was no “anti-gay law,” it was an executive order. I’m not sure what’s hard to understand about the headline. The governor overturned an order allowing discrimination.
