Mal: Yeah, well, just be careful. We cheated Badger out of good money to buy that frippery, and you're supposed to make me look respectable. Kaylee: Yes, sir, Captain Tightpants.

I am wondering what is up with the people who are saying that both sides are engaging in violent rhetoric. Am I not remembering things public figures said during George W Bush's term? Or things now. I mean, I know plenty of private people who said nasty things about Bush, but not people with the power and influence that Palin/Beck/etc have.
The last violent leftist I remember was Emma Goldman (unless Black Panthers are considered leftist?)

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."
I completely fail to get why some people think meetings are optional, and seem surprised when I call them to get them on the meetings. Especially when they have been attending regularly up to this point.
Ah, my attendees don't show up and then freak out over scheduling decisions made in a meeting called "Release schedule review."

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?
They were pretty common when I was younger, like college age to mid-twenties. I wouldn't raise a brow at it then, but if it was people my age that would different.
This.
The term when I was growing up "house party".
And this.
And, I am exhausted. Today has been a bit of a marathon day. I need a break.

I can't think of anything really bad Palin has said, she's used some gun metaphors, but that I can't think of that would advocate violence. I guess the worst I can think of is conflating Obama with terrorists. But I don't the she has actually endorsed violence.
Beck, on the other hand, hasn't he at times actually endorsed the idea of armed rebellion, taking the country back with force?

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

It's not like anything could happen without the guy. I'm mediating between an external developer and an internal one, and this is our weekly scheduled interaction. If one guy doesn't show up, there's no meeting.
Even if he had nothing to offer, you still show up and say so. Turns out, natch, he did have shit he needed to say.
Accept or Turn down my meeting invitations, and send the responses to me. Otherwise it turns into person wrangling, and that's not in the job description.

unless Black Panthers are considered leftist?
Yes, because they're black. Not my belief, but the belief on the comment boards I read. I wonder if this sheer flabbergastedness at the other side's mental workings existed in the '60s?
