WTF is wrong with the Democrats?
t cynic
They don't want to anger their corporate backers any more than the Republicans do? They just need to make really extra double sure it looks like it was the other guy's idea.

Saffron: But we've been wed. Aren't we to become one flesh? Mal: Well, no, uh... We're still two fleshes here, and I think that your flesh ought to sleep somewhere else.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift
Sue, so much ~ma for all of you. My mom has done fine with A-fib for the last 4 years. It's totally manageable.
I totally get the feeling, msbelle. I can't motivate myself to apply for jobs either, and I really need to.
Nilly baby is adorable.
Burrell, unfortunately that's not cynical; it's reality.
Perkins, how are you feeling?

Nilly baby is awesome.
I have A-fib and have gotten along fine with it.

Unfortunately, I think my dad's been diagnosed with Ventricular Tachycardia, which is a little different than A-Fib. Hence, the pacemaker/defibrillator implant. We've been through a serious heart attack (25 years ago!) and bypass surgery with my dad, so this seems manageable. But at his age, it's still worrying.
Thanks for the ma. My mom seems calm, which is reassuring. I thought that after she fell apart when her cat died last week, that all this stress might be too much.
I spent a good part of the evening cleaning the spare room for my sister. Those cats are no help when making a bed...it took me twice as long. Thank god they are so cute.

Sue, what is his heart rate if he is tachycardic? Are they thinking meds over something mechanical?

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Sighhh... Yeah. Cynical is thinking that the public schools have been deliberately hobbled because an uneducated electorate is more easily influenced by theatrics and are unfamiliar with concepts like "socialism" "civil liberties".

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I am in enough pain that I can't go into work this morning, and I am out of pain meds. I am at a loss. I will try and get pain meds early, and I will try and work from home, but I'm not optimistic about either route.

Librarian Warlord
I'm sorry ita, what a sucktastic way to start the day.
When I got to work today at 7:30, I discovered that the Desk Attendant who should have opened the library at 7 a.m. wasn't here, and there were two law students with their noses pressed up against the glass waiting for someone to arrive. I bought them each a coffee, and now I'm waiting for the desk attendant to either show her face or for the next of kin to call me and tell me she's in hospital.
