What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Still on the bubble, I'm afraid. Ausiello says it could go either way.

You know what though, no. If he thought the voters wanted to have racist home covenants, would he have voted for that, knowing it's wrong? Would he be willing to say that he would stand behind the voters in that case?
But it's different if he campaigned on the issue. If the guy was elected saying he'd vote for a reprehensible position, can you complain that he voted for the reprehensible position even though he personally disagrees? I mean beyond the fact that the he supports the reprehensible position at all? Yeah, I suppose you could, good point.
But do you want politicians who flip on issues they campaigned on?

I just wasn't sure if you were at him for not being upfront with bigots that, you know, I'm one of those people you despise v. what you say above.
That wasn't what I was thinking, but yeah, that's a good point too.

I t heart Tom Scola.
Also, the whole thing about do you do what you think is morally right vs. what you have been elected to do is an old conflict that got the better of people like Jeannette Rankin and Robert Taft. It's an interesting debate.
But I think the man is a tool because who you are is who you are and to be closeted because it will get you elected seems as duplicitous as being gay and voting against Each Piece of Gay Legislation.
Also, it just sounds like he's a selfhating prick.

Someone on my facebook is burbleing about Rahm Immanuel poking our local representative in the ribs in the shower? Has anyone heard about this?

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?

Was it a fun shower? Or did your rep piss Rahm off?
Watched "Doomed" in class on Friday and finished it up today. Now my students are talking about wanting to have an after school Buffy club so they can see all the episodes. I love my job.

The whole Massa thing is confusing, Sophia. It sounds like your Facebook friend is conflating several different stories about him.
Isn't Louise Slaughter your representative, though?

Yes, sorry-- Eric Massa is the representative for everyone who lives near me except me.
