The Legislature's Big Mistake Is Coming In The Air Tonight

I couldn't get the song out of my head on Monday at the Statehouse. I stood in line for an hour to get into the building to attend a rally in support of women's reproductive rights. My old lobbyist badge that used to allow me to skip those lines expired long ago, so there I waited with all the other angry people.  I watched throngs of them, of every kind, stand in line to get into the building. Many of them never got in. But I did, even though I was almost a half an hour late for the rally I was there to attend. And after I listened to the last few of the speeches, I walked out of the east doorway of the building. There were a couple of thousand people out there, spilling out onto Capitol Avenue and Market Street, leading the police to close the block to traffic.  As the song goes, "oh lord."
