I think he's trying to spoil me, and I think I might let him.

I approve! You bringing him to da courtyard tomorrow for inspection, er, approval, er, us to meet him/him to meet us?

Sean, I'm sorry. How's your back doing?

I cannot even handle the level of racist-ass Othering that's going on in this election.

I was foolish and asked for a list. This is what I got:

I refuse to live in a socialist nation. That is NOT why my father fought and nearly died in Iwo Jima!

Also, my husband did not serve in Viet Nam so we could become a socialist county with a president who won't even salute the flag!

Mind you, he is getting VA benefits, and she Medicaid.

And Obama salutes the flag. Omnis, it isn't rational. She has no idea what's really going on. I repeat, don't feed the energy creature.

Where is this flag thing coming from? Someone threw that at me too, and when I asked for clarification, I didn't get any.

It might come from this [link] or this [link]

or just people making shit up.

I repeat, don't feed the energy creature.

Yup. When you do that -- in this instance, asking for a list -- you give them EXACTLY what they want, which is an opportunity to get their self-righteous rant on. Don't play in to that.

No shit, man. It is fucking ugly.

D has his own group he watches away games with - he works at the Dome for home games. So inspection/approval will have to wait. I may bring RI tomorrow, though.

The only appropriate response is "The things you are saying are BAT. SHIT. CRAZY. Also, socialism? That word does not mean what you think it means."

This broken computer thing is one thing too many. I can't handle this. I feel like this is the thing that's going to push me over the edge.

I don't blame you, Sean, you have some Job-like stuff going on. I'm so terribly sorry.
