'A Hole in the World'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
To see someone brashly willing to just flat out say it, no sugar coated coding, makes me sick to my stomach.
And yet, it's good to have the code broken and laid out for everybody to see. Now that the media's done with it's not-so-covert bitch-bashing of Hilary, it looks like the racist spin will come fully to the fore.
Oh, I'm aware of the well-known connotation. But it *is* used, where I'm from, for anyone of any color "gettin' above their raisin'", which means, you know, going to college, skipping Sunday School, arguing with teachers, clergy, or legal or civil authorities with an assumption of intellectual parity.
Bored, so here's my cubicle:
Which roundabout like leads me to the Five Against Venus MySpace page, where I've never been before.
Guess who's got a great voice?
Yeah, I just have my serious doubts that the innocent connotation is the one at play in this case.
WIshing good health to Sean and S.
I'm too tired to even track right now. And I have more to look forward to tomorrow. I guess I should eat something. Had my boss not placed a bagel on my keyboard, I probably wouldn't have gotten lunch.
Today was too long for everyone.
Guess who's got a great voice?

It's more than a little jaw-dropping that the reporter who got that quote from him actually followed up to basically say, "Tell me you did NOT just go there," and Westmoreland was more than happy to go right back there again with fuckwit abandon.
Yes. THIS. With a side of WTF.
I'm also loving how she knew at thirteen weeks that she was carrying a Down's baby, but didn't tell the rest of the kids until after Trig was, you know, born.
"Not knowing in my own heart if I was going to be ready to embrace a child with special needs," she reveals, "I couldn't talk about it."
She seems to have a real pattern of not letting those closest to her in on important decisions and on keeping things shrouded and only following her own counsel on things that would affect a greater whole. That bugs me-- not necessarily on a personal level, but on how it would translate to the decision-making process as a leader. Which, again, we've been seeing more and more evidence of how she pretty much keeps to her own set of standards, everyone else's opinions be damned.
"Not knowing in my own heart if I was going to be ready to embrace a child with special needs,"
Wow, my head just went boom again. I thought that would stop, what with all my brains being already spattered about the place.

I think we know the answer to that -- it's pretty much exactly the Dubya school of leadership.

bingbingbing! Give the lovely lady a cookie!
Om nom nom nom.
Still really disturbed by the embracing the child comment. It's absolutely her right to decide when she found out at 13 weeks whether to continue to carry the child or not -- but to go to term thinking "hey, I might decide I don't like you after all"...?
