    Gov. Jerry Brown signed legislation Thursday that makes California the first state in the nation to require the inclusion of the contributions of gay, lesbian and transgender Americans in school history lessons and textbooks.

    If the legislation seems baffling to people, you need to realize that it exists to serve as a firewall against the Texas textbook standards, who will never, ever go for such a thing. I will truly relish the wingnut freakout in my neighborhood over this.

    Best day of the summer so far right here in New England. Being from New England though, I can’t figure out if we earned this one glorious day with the multiple miserable snow storms and cold gray wet spring, or whether we’re going to pay for it with a longer colder harsher winter. Our Puritan history does not allow me to simply enjoy this day without feeling retribution awaits.

    So Cantor called POTUS an “amateur” huh? An amateur what? If he means politician then he better check his fucking history books and look up the last time a skinny black dude got elected POTUS. What a fucking tool Cantor is, I look forward to the day when he is caught in the wetsuit with a boxfull of dildos, cause every time I look at him that is what I imagine he is up to behind closed doors.

    I will be watching the ensuing battle of trills as Takkun attempts to play with his new kitty and JC attempts to take nap like a self-respecting kitteh and avoids the giant mountain bear cat that keeps bugging him for playtime. Then, JC jumps on Takkun when he gives up and goes-you guessed it-for a nap. I forgot what the thunder of little kitty hooves in crazy chase mode sounded like. Everytime I look up, tho, all I see are 2 pairs of glow in the dark eyes with the best innocent expression ever.

    Trill! Squeak! Mrrrow! TRRRRilllll! Thump, bash, tumble, trill, thump thumpthummuppp, crash!

    Already posted this before, not sure if anyone noticed.

    Harry Potter and The Deathly Hallows Part 2 is already playing here, a day ahead of the US release. I saw it today. You don’t want to miss it, I’m telling you.

    It’s really all about The Battle of Hogwarts, so it’s more of a war movie. It has a majestic scale yet never loses sight of its characters as people. Julie Walters gets to say that line, and with gusto. (I punched the air and said “Yes!”)

    As for Alan Rickman as Snape, I guarantee asiangrrlmn will want to see this one ten times before she gets the DVD. He’s that prominent, and he’s so damn good here. Snape’s memories of Lily Potter actually moved me to tears.

    Harry Potter and The Deathly Hallows Part 2 is already playing here, a day ahead of the US release. I saw it today. You don’t want to miss it, I’m telling you.

    Seriously? Because after watching part 1, I marked my calendar to remind me to go out and NOT watch part 2 when it got released.

    Part 1 looked like a movie where they couldn’t decide whether to go with 3D or not. Honestly, that was the most memorable part of it … all the scenes where you say to yourself “whoever blocked that scene thought the were going to have 3D.”

    I think there was a wizard or something in the movie too, but it just didn’t leave as much of an impression.

    Jobless claim numbers are upwardly revised every time like clockwork. They mean nothing. Those numbers will almost certainly be revised up beyond the consensus expectation, just like they were last time (and if you weren’t a fucking retard talking out your ass you’d know that to be the case).

    Cantor’s comment doesn’t even merit or dignify any response. He’s making himself look like a miserable, rotten little shithead and making Obama look better and better to those swing voters (and independents) by injuring their transient, delicate feelings.

    I think all right thinking people can, should, and would agree that Cole is a bad bad man.

    But all these monthly unemployment figures are little statistical blips that wander around inside the band of unacceptably high unemployment rates, unacceptably low employment to population ratios, and the continued existence of a mass of desperate long term unemployed people until long after the next election.

    It would be best to wait for at least three or four monthly data points showing a clear trend for better or worse. But I predict that such a thing will not be seen. It will be sideways and 1939 forever over the next few years.

    Thanks for providing links, to both Derf/Fred, and the vile communist and crytoglib Cole, both of whom seem to read too much into each monthly blip.

    Cole overinterprets with more manic and dramatic flair, though.

    That is a sincere thanks, since I am too disorganized to get them myself, and nice to have others point them out.

    @opie jeanne:

    Leaving out LA and Ventura counties makes it look really ridiculous.

    Breaking up California might be a good idea, but they’re not going far enough. If you’re going to break up the state, it probably ought to be broken up into at least 4 pieces: South California (Orange, San Diego, Imperial, Riverside), West California (LA north to SLO), North California (Monterey north to Oregon, two counties wide), and East California (everything else). That way you’d solve some of the problems with the state being way too big relative to the rest of the country. You could even do something radical like split the new parts of the state into different Federal Appeals Court districts, so the 9th District wouldn’t be so fucking huge.

    Lawrence O’Donnell called Cantor an “amateur” probably two dozen times tonight on “The Last Word”.

    Mr. O’Donnell also had film footage to prove his assertions. An interview with Cantor on Morning Joe. Where Cantor hemmed and hawed about his upcoming vote on Charlie Rangel’s proposed 90% tax on TARP takers’ bonus money.

    Cantor voted for it later that day. Yes, Eric Cantor voted for a 90% tax increase on rich people.

    O’Donnell beat up Cantor so fully tonight. Including a play-by-play explanation of why Boner now, quote, “owns” Eric Cantor.

    Amir Khalid @ 124: Yes, those are the “shorted” ones. In Phoenix, especially, you miss so much of the school life, bonding, the growth of the kids as a group; that feeling of being part of a different world which is such a huge part of the appeal of the books.

    And why they largely left out the battle at the end of Prince is beyond me.

    Geek out :)

    What I love about the split in CA? New State line would run right down the middle of the street I grew up on. Bastards put us on the wrong side though, so we’d have to fix that small matter. But, would have to because of the existing road networks and there’s now way those cheap gits would want to build new over the entire chain. Investing in infrastructure? Ha.

    @Alex:

    The recurrent ABL-Hamsher feud renders me feeling somewhat like this fellow:

    Both sides have to be participating to make it a feud. Right now, it’s more like gramps yelling at the clouds.
