hi everybody welcome to anne ortley's weekly weather i'm anne ortley and i'm anne ortley

and i'm broadcasting here from my bright red desk on the upper east side of new york

city after a fabulous week weekend couple of days it's a good thing. The world is a good place. And if you forget,

you just have to remember, it changes. And as Tony Kushner says, in Angels in America, the

world spins forward. So we had landmark resolutions.

Now it is legal for people to marry in the United States, regardless of their sexual preference.

You can marry who you would like.

It's a good thing.

And we also had Obamacara held up, so millions of people who got health insurance, get it.

On a bad note, we passed a very non-transparent, bad Pluto, bad Pluto, Barack Obama, trade partnership bill, which we all need

to hop on and jump up and down about because it allows companies to sue countries if they

block their profit. But, you know, two wins, one loss.

You know, I guess there's two in the win, one in the loss column.

We're moving forward.

And truthfully, you know, it is a transformation.

And I was out on Fire Island this week watching the news.

I haven't had one since 1993.

When I gave it up for Lent, and I realized in the 40 days of Lent, I read all these books,

and I had, you know, I sit mesmerized in front of the TV.

It is Neptune, people.
