Donny Deutsch got the ball rolling, suggesting that voters may be "going back to basics" after electing an African-American president and seeing "the female candidates and whatnot." Scott Brown, Deutsch added, "looks like the traditional view of a candidate," which may bring a "visceral comfort" to voters...

I think that's a insulting to the voters as well.

IMO, Brown's success is a combination of a bad economy, a healthcare bill that's unpopular with progressives and an uninspiring dem candidate.

OK, my bank just sent me an invitation to do a consumer feedback survey. I think someone needs to check their dictionary:

We invite you to participate in our Customer Feedback survey to help us identify improvement areas, and create actionable solutions to enhance your experience.

You know, I really think they don't want me to help them create actionable anything.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

Oh, and P-C, you should watch Nine in the Afternoon if you are only familiar with the early version of PatD- it is really a delightful video. There is a dessert paradise.

Why not go with '...help us serve you better' it's like someone Google translated the sentence from english to corporate-speak.

Not just uninspiring, but one who took her win for granted. According to DailyKos, Brown has had 66 appearances since the primary until this past Sunday versus her 19.

Because books.

Sophia, we're actually going halfway to Rochester probably this weekend, to the Waterloo outlets. But as soon as it's not constant maybe!apocalyptic!snow all the time, I'll be in touch and we'll hang out.

Also, "Northern Downpour" from P!atD's second album is gorgeous both lyrically and musically. Such a sweet, melancholy, lovely song.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Not just uninspiring, but one who took her win for granted.

But you know, that worked for her in the primary, and that should have been a much tougher fight. Ugh.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Man! There's a tornado warning in LA county. It's like I never left Michigan. Well, except for the not snowing thing. But still--freaky deaky or what?

at 1232 PM PST... National Weather Service Doppler radar indicated a severe thunderstorm capable of producing a tornado 16 miles southwest of Long Beach... moving northeast at 35 mph.

I completely fail to get bandom. I mean, I get really liking bands, but I need to remember it's not all about RPS. Which I totally fail to wrap my head around.

How else is the newly graduated Public Relations drone going to prove they deserve the job?

In the box that says "Do you have any other comments," I told them that actionable means "will get you into legal trouble" and that they might want to reword their puff text.
