I posted this diary the day after I snapped the photo, on the morning of the shooting of Rep. Gabrielle Giffords, but when DKOS went live it nuked all my diaries I'd posted on the Beta version, nuked my groups, and kicked me to the untrusted user curb. Such a nice thank-you fuck-you for faithfully testing out the Beta site.
Anyway, I'm always struck when I visit Arizona: its natural beauty contrasts so starkly with the ugliness of the conservative fascists who run the state. Their corrosiveness gives the state such a bad reputation.
As a resident of Colorado during the boycott in 1992-4 after the passage of anti-gay Amendment 2, I can tell you that any boycott will hurt the people we love more than the people we despise.
We're with you, Arizona Democrats!

UPDATE: Thank you to Mint Julep, who corrected me: I missed the warning about Beta diaries being temporary only. Apologies!
