Don't mind me here - I'm working on my very first-est entry for The Mad Irish Woman on Daily Kos. I've got a while to wait yet so I figured I would work on making my first splash as nice as possible. It will be a work in progress for the next few days. I'll probably edit this a lot.

Michigan Dems release powerful video - "Governor Snyder's First Three Months on the Job"
TL;DR: Rick, go back to Ann Arbor. Lansing and the people of Michigan don't want you any more. I didn't vote for you but you lied enough by not saying really WHAT you stood for during your campaign that enough people voted for you. In fact, how about you and your friends in the Michigan Legislature just leave Michigan? We don't need your brand of 'reinvention.'
WHAT IS SO HARD ABOUT THE CONCEPT OF NOT BEING A DICK?

I never thought I would say that about a Republican but, dammit, even if it is on just one issue, amendments to the FAA reauthorization bill, he has this hit spot on - IT'S NOT GOING TO WORK SO WHY ARE WE WASTING OUR TIME ON IT?! He fucking gets it! The President has said he won't sign it and the Senate has told the House not to bother because they won't pass it. AND YET THE MAJORITY IN THE HOUSE STILL PASSED IT ONTO THE SENATE. WTF?! This isn't even about the principle of the matter - Hell, I don't even know what the principle would be or what the matter even is. What is the point of diddling around in the House on shit that will never make it any further than the House? They did it with de-funding to Planned Parenthood and with de-funding PBS and NPR. They were told neither would go further than the House and yet THEY STILL DID IT.
House of Representatives - please, for the love of fuck, DO SOMETHING USEFUL. I don't care what party you're a member of just DO SOMETHING that has a snowball's chance of making it to the President. I'm not even asking that the President sign it - I just want it to pass the Senate so it looks like you're doing something other than poking your older siblings and waiting to see how long it will be until they snap and punch you in the nads.
"Welcome to whack-a-union night," indeed.

I am now a member of Daily Kos. This should be interesting. Look me up if you're over there - MadIrishWoman.
I wish I could write a diary already but I understand why there is a waiting period. Suggestions on people to follow on Daily Kos?

We had nothing to question - everyone was being silly for being a little fearful of a nuclear power plant being hit with a 9.0 earthquake and a fucking tsunami in addition to being run by a company that has a record of 200+ instances of LYING.
Sometimes, I hate being right. This would be one of those times.

Being stuck at my parents means I have to watch Fox News on occasion. I look forward to driving back to Lansing on Sunday now that my car is back from being repaired. As if my ulcer really needed help in getting worse - being forced to watch Fox News makes me hate everything.

If you're going to act like a fool at least have the decency to do so in private. Don't subject innocent eyes to your stupidity.

The China Syndrome

The China Syndrome if one of my all-time-favorite movies. While it is a sensationalized view of nuclear power I think it captures the attitude of the Nuclear Regulatory Commission and of plant builders and operators.
Any ways, I made from videos for it back in the day. Maybe someone will enjoy them. I had to disallow comments on both of them because of some of the cruel and hateful things people were writing along with grossly inaccurate information.
The China Syndrome - I tried my hand at making a movie trailer and I think it came out nicely. I don't think there are any spoilers in it so enjoy.
A Tribute To The China Syndrome - CONTAINS SPOILERS - This is my tribute to The China Syndrome and to Jack Lemmon. It shows the evolution of Lemmon's character, Jack Godell, as well as the transformation of Jane Fonda's character, Kimberly Wells.
I continue to pray for all in Japan and their families and friends. I also encourage everyone to give in some way to relief agencies that are going into Japan to supply food, medical supplies, water, and fuel. The people of Japan have said that they do not need money - they need supplies.

Hint: Human stupidity and arrogance
I'll just leave this here -

Snippet -
Tepco eventually admitted to 200 occasions in which information had been falsified between 1977 and 2002. Further revelations of past concealment emerged five years later.

0320: Staff have now been evacuated from Fukushima because of a spike in radiation levels, Chief Cabinet Secretary Yukio Edano told a news conference.
0252: Two crew members on an Australian search and rescue helicopter showed low levels of radiation contamination after they were forced to make an emergency landing in Fukushima on Wednesday, AFP news agency reports. Australian Prime Minister Julia Gillard was quoted as saying the radiation was detected on their boots. They landed about 12 miles (20km) outside the exclusion zone surrounding the plant.
Japanese government - STOP LISTENING TO THE ENERGY COMPANIES. You keep referring to what Tepco is telling you when answering questions and nothing from your own people. You need to get your own specialists in there and evaluating the situation. Did we learn nothing from Three Mile Island?!
I'm listening to the news conference right now and the fellow translating to English is getting nervous, too. He was talking about wanting to go down to the reactor and take his own readings because he is beginning to distrust what the companies are saying. Now that says something considering he is saying that he has no choice but to trust the government an hour ago.
Also? My The China Syndrome icon should not be getting so much use, dammit. :(
EDIT: Check out this guy - http://yokosonews.com/
He is awesome and bringing us all kinds of information from on site.
