Oh, look! It's one of Perkins' favourite Criminal Minds episodes. Oddly we find the same episodes gross, but not the same things. She thinks the pigs eating people are the disgusting thing, but it's the spinal trauma I can't take. Like in the Cold Comfort episode where it was the necrophilia for her, but the infusing of live people with embalming fluid (oh, and the hugging a corpse for days) thing for me.

Damn, that's a sick-assed show.

Well, well. The heckle is the lead article on cnn.com, and the apology is front-page on msnbc.com (as part of the big "Prez Speech" box).

If he was from any other district in the country, I'd assume he'd tanked his career. However, I assume he reflects the values of his constituents to get there in the first place.

Having recently toured the South I can vouch that South Carolina was the most freakass of the states I visited. Verdant, though.

My folks are not going to be pleased with his behavior.

I'm pretty sure your thing would have bothered me too, but my thing stopped me from seeing it, since I figured out my thing was going to happen really early on in the show.

I am SO glad I live in GA and not SC, even if I am represented in Congress by an insano loony doctor person (Paul Broun, who I believe genuinely thinks Obama is going to bring on the jackboots any day now.)

Also, I love you guys. There cannot be a better presidential speech watch n post crew on the internets.

I watched a documentary on the Mayan calendar, because truly I'd rather catch up online here so as to not waste too much tooth enamel.

Go, Emmett and The Boy!

mac off to school today early. He decided he wanted to go to breakfast and while in line he saw his best friend, so they will have some social time together today, much to his pleasure. None of his 3 close friends from his school are in his class. He is in a class with dual teachers because it is a combined class with some students identified as special ed, most likely learning disabilities. This is a great thing, because this type of classroom would be the first step of aid we would request for him after getting an evaluation.

My goal today is to crank through all the work that I was too distracted to deal with yesterday. I have my weekly lunch appt with mac's therapist today (my dad is joining us) and a co-worker who does the other half of part of my job will be out tomorrow, so I need to search out any questions/issues with that work and get them to her today.

You can say that he's wrong, if you've got facts and cites to back it up, but you can't disagree with a statement of fact.

As Trudy said, disagreeing with statements of fact has been a key part of the Neocon strategy for years.

Oh, my - heckling the President in this age of instant news and Twitter has consequences.

His opponent is much richer suddenly - disgruntled voters in that district donated $25,000 within 2 hours of the speech yesterday.

Hee. Haw.
