FWIW, I've had painless mammograms
Me, too. And I don't have a high pain threshold. I really have only had one that I would classify as "hurty." Most were uncomfortable.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?

Actually, now that I think about it, all our political mail has been in favor of Obama.
We've been split. At the house in which only I actually live, my brother has gotten Obama mail and my father has gotten McCain. I have gotten bupkis. On the other hand, I'm a public school teacher who's lived in Boston and San Francisco -- maybe they figure I'm broke and not worth pursuing for money.
But I do read all the Republican things my father gets and I laugh and laugh and laugh. They keep sending these "surveys" which go along with requests for money -- "Do you feel that the states should have a fundamental right to define marriage? Do you feel that the current situation overseas calls for a strong military? Do you think it important that the achievements of the current administration be protected from the Democrats?"

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
I saw a McCain ad last night. In LA. It was SO WEIRD. I thought it was some sort of parody or something, but it was totally a McCain political hit job.
And i thought, "this is what the rest of the country is seeing." And it was SO SLIMY.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I had a meeting with someone this afternoon who is involved with voting rights stuff, and she was saying that she's helping out with a group coming over from China to check out election stuff. She said the original organizing group was going to bring them to Boston. She was like, WTF. Why would you go there? They were like, Um, it's close to New York? So she's bringing them to Ohio, where there will actually be election stuff going on!

Well, these people want to learn about doing elections.

At the 7-11 a few blocks away, they've got this "vote with your cup" thing for the Slurpees, where they have McCain, Obama, and Undecided cups, and buying a Slurpee in of the cups registers in the in-store poll. There was a huge stack of McCain cups left, and only two Obama cups.

Now tagless for your comfort.
I guess learning how NOT to do things is a good start.

Yeha, I would love to hear from someone with A cup boobies that are not seemingly 3D squishable how that goes...I might think by the time I'm mammogramable that they'd be more saggy and squishable, except I have to get mine at 35, because of the family history. So I'm really HOPING they're not saggy and more able to be put on a plate by then!
...and suddenly I realize we're having this convo in Natter. Um. Hi Natter!

In not political news: I love Dirty Sexy Money. Scandal! Intrigue! Random plot point yachts! I never have any idea what's going on and I love it.
