It (the LA Times article) made me even crankier than I was before.
I can't cope with it. I have to stop reading news about the hurricane.
Tell me more good stuff about me.

Neither Angry Lady nor most of us have stopped our lives for this, and I fucking hope crazy screaming people are immediately removed from people who have secret service protection.
I was thinking something alone similar lines, bon.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
Yeah, I might scream at Condi, but it wouldn't be because she was buying shoes or even expensive shoes. It'd be because I think she has and continues to hurt the country. ALso, she's super snotty in her congressional hearings and I kinda just hate her.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I actually wouldn't scream at anyone, probably ever. But I might write in to Gawker. And if I DID, I would make sure to describe Condi's outfit, so as to let people know if she was in work attire or not.

she probably knows this. It was just an excuse to scream at Condi. :)

In more amusing news, Overheard In The Office has taken to posting one thing an hour, through the work day. [link]

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!
I would not have screamed at condi. But I work in public service. Part of the job - is dealing with people that scream at me. Maybe because I don't have anyone to stand between me and the public, but I don't think the secret service needed to be invovled .

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
I would scream at Condi about how comparing the Lusitania to Sept. 11 was stupidest metaphor in the whole entire world, and then I would proceed to assault her with a history textbook. And then I would be arrested in as spectacular and Jon-Stewart-attracting a fashion as possible.
I have never gotten over how she went before the 9/11 commission and was allowed to waste 30 minutes of her (pre-determined) allotted time talking about the stupid, stupid Lusitania.
My library has a disaster plan.
Mine did to, when I worked there. I think it's a formal requirement of any arm of city/town government, although the rule seems to be oft-honored in its breach. At any rate, there was a scenario-wheel, and a giant bin of Important Tools (flashlights, tarps, etc.).

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

Me too.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I don't think the secret service needed to be invovled .
It's their job, though, to remove people before it's apparent they're a threat. If you can't keep it together enough to not shriek irrelevantly at a high-ranking government official, I consider it perfectly fair.
Hell, if I were doing security for Britney freaking Spears, I'd see what I could do to have the person removed.
If I were managing the store, same thing, no matter who was being shrieked at, if they hadn't started it.
