No, we are living in a weird time.

I am out of the loop - I only heard about the Juan Williams controversy this morning - on NPR.

Wow.

her big tip for presenting at a board meeting was to unbutton more buttons if you felt unprepared...

I should tell my former boss. The one who slapped me for wearing too short a skirt to work. And then made me wear a trenchcoat when we went in front of customers. One of whom promptly complimented me on my great skirt. So, you know.

Does she dress sexy?

I don't even want to think about that.

I'm pretty impressed with how she's an avalanche of stupid. I've seen a lot of doctors, but wow. She impresses me.

I still can't believe your boss physically assaulted you. Getting out of Michigan was awesome for you.

This is the same boss who asked if I'd sleep with someone for employee retention purposes, so mixed messages much? Yeah, I'm well rid of them.

Tell me that wasn't also your annual bonus.

Huh. Not every day that a candidate for Congress from a major party says the violent overthrow of the US Government is "on the table."

There seems to be a part of the right-wing who believes that only they have a right to run the government regardless of who actually gets voted in.

Cool! Love how the author helped them out... and got one of the printed nanobots.

I'm gonna see if I can make little Daleks. Like maybe earring or necklace size....

Seriously, I think many believe this. They don't consider Obama to be a legitimate president, and they thought the same of Clinton....

eta: Then there are those who say the health care reform was "rammed down our throats" when Obama campaigned - and won - on that platform.

Based on my exhaustive sample size, Michigan doesn't have bonuses.

I went ahead and got all four wisdom teeth removed yesterday per oral surgeon's advice. Feeling somewhat better about the decision now since most of the pain is originating from the sockets of the ones that were definitely coming out no matter what. I just finished my first non-clear fluid meal (yay, roasted red pepper soup!) and am about to see how difficult it is to navigate the tooth-brushing minefield.
