I've been wanting to write a blog post about the current Republican war on women but I'm just too depressed. How would I attempt to outline such basic concepts anyway? Tedious and frustrating. I'm so discouraged and baffled and angry that I don't even know where to start. Besides, if you're a crazy, willfully ignorant, anti-birth control right winger and you're reading this, nothing I say will get through to you. And if you're not then there's no use preaching to the choir. My friends that are reading this know exactly what I mean because they feel it too. Maybe one of them will take the time to articulate it. Right now, I just can't.

This is not the country I know and love. I feel heartsick.
