Just for the record, and because it's nice to post about something actually important once in a while...
Chile has elected its first female leader. Wheeeee!!
Bachelet's also a leftwing leader, which adds to the other leftwing leaders which have been elected in South America lately. I do hope they will manage to pull South America together and move forward with all those changes. I'm feeling very hopeful right now, especially since Michelle Bachelet is teh daughter of a general who supported Salvatore Allende (the coup by Pinochet and Allende's death are just one more proof September 11th really is a bad karma day).
France, between being unable to elect female leaders and being years behind on gay issues compared to neighbor countries, feeling any shame???
