Arrrgh! The charger port on my phone, a Galaxy SIII, is, apparently busted. This will make the third time this has happened and, this time, it has lasted less than two months! I have insurance, thank goodness, but I'm going to insist they replace it with a different kind of phone this time.
Also, the stupid state legislature voted to make the oil companies immune from lawsuits. I'll let James Lee Burke's Dale Robichaux speak for me...
"Our wetlands were cut by over eight thousand miles of channels that allowed a constant infusion of saline into freshwater marsh: our poorest communities were dumping grounds for chemical sludge trucked in from other states; and the Gulf Stream waters of Woody Gutherie's famous song were strung with columns of oil that were several miles long... I also believe my home state is cursed by ignorance and poverty and racism, much of it deliberately inculcated to control a vulnerable electorate. And I believe many of the politicians in Louisiana are among the most stomach-churning examples of white trash and venality I have ever known..."
~James Lee Burke, Creole Belle
