Drove home from San Diego Comic-con Sunday in bumper-to-bumper traffic. Took a brief nap, then rushed off to UCLA to see Ian McKellen's one man show A Knight Out in LA. Utterly fantastic. Then rushed home to be picked up by Mark for my awesome b-day present, Clerks 2 plus a Kevin Smith Q & A. Then last night I saw Gnarls Barkley and Peeping Tom with Heidi.
It's been very fun, but tiring. May be recovering the rest of the week.
However, can't get this announcement off my mind. Richard Donner and Mark McLure on the Superman panel were livid about this bullshit, and so am I.
All the Reeves fought for, gone.

Still can't believe the stem cell veto, especially when his own party supported it.
...and in other depressing news, my good old home state upheld the gay marriage ban today.
What enlightened times.
ACKKKKK!!!!!
I'm pulling my hair out.
And yet, there is hope as Governator Arnold allocates funding for stem cell research here in California.
To paraphrase John Rogers:
Those of us who want to live in the 21st century over here. Those of you who want to live in the 18th century over there - hope that works for ya. Don't call us.
All they worked for is not gone, hon, just delayed. Which is inexcusable, but not the end of hope.
Don't despair. The research will be Federally publically funded in other countries and, eventually, in the US again. People will be helped - eventually.
How we explain this to the ones who die or suffer needlessly in the interim, I do not know.

It will go back to congress, and if it gets voted with 2/3 majority, it will pass no matter what the pres thinks.
However, I don't think all they fought for is lost. Their foundation still exists and will still fight for what they believe in.
Even Chris and Dana knew there would be roadblocks and potholes along the way.
