Well, apparently the candidate I interviewed against has both an MBA and an MD. So I'll bet SHE can talk like that!!
Don't you just love this party? Everything's so fancy, and there's some kind of hot cheese over there.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, pandas, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Because books.
Wow. I really don't work in an office anymore, do I?
I'm pretty sure we never talked like that in my office. But we were lazy publishing types. I think the only buzzwords were "P&Ls" and whether the author "had a platform". Oh, we used to say "womjep" for women in jeopardy books.

Always Anti-fascist!
I've heard "femmejep" too.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
In the Charlotte airport, and I'd pay someone twenty bucks if they gave me a cot and half an hour for a nap.

According to a book I'm reading, the MFA is the new MBA.
You can't get a job with either.
I'm more concerned with knowledge silos impacting the crosscutting operationalization of appropriate paradigms.
Sadly, I also know what this means, in as much as it means anything. I have fantasies of bombing silos and boxes and yelling, "I guess you're out of those damn silos and boxes for good now."

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

There's a term for women appearing in books about Jeopardy! ?
(This is why hyphens are important.)

So, I don't know much about Rand Paul except what I've heard over the past few days, but he's a fuckhead, right?

Yes, he is, Dana. In 2002, he ripped the Fair Housing Act, so this stuff about the ADA and Civil Rights Act is nothing new.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
In the Charlotte airport, and I'd pay someone twenty bucks if they gave me a cot and half an hour for a nap.
I am convinced that those per hour tube hotels in Japan would do a fantastic business in airports. I never need naps as desperately or am more willing to pay than when traveling.

I heard some of his interview on NPR, and it's been a long time since I've heard someone that weasel-y. He was all "I would have marched with Martin Luther King!" and "I think we should eliminate institutional racism!"
Yeah, GOOD LUCK eliminating institutional racism without, you know, CHANGING the fucking institutions.
