gwydion* The government of Tunisia fell today.
* Mr Boehner has announced he's not even allowing debate on reinstayting the Extended clip ban. Meanwhile, there is still no head of ATF, because the republicans have been blocking it for two years. There is now talk of disbanding the ATF entirely.
* I dreamed I was involved in a Tolkienesque battle between those that thought people were good eating and free will is optional and folks that were team free will and anti-canibalism. There side had Vampires, red caps, sluagh, and morally ambiguous wizards. Ours had a mix of folks with various talents who were trying to hold up the remnants of civilization. We were encamped around the last free village and when they over ran our lines it tore a hole in the world and we overlapped into the grounds of my old school. We fought on as best we could, but eventually, all that was left was to escape. I flew through the streets, trying to rouse humans to evacuate. Some did, but some were already trapped by spells or turned. I did what I could. I found a policeman who was stunned after being bitten, but not turned and got him to call in a bio-terrorist attack, an invasion, so they'd call out troops and try to contain it. it was at this point I woke up.
