We have to see the chimp playing hockey! That's hilarious! The ice is so slippery, and, and monkeys are all irrational. We have to see this!

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

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

"Chrysler gave its entire work force the day off to Vote Today!"

That's a tweet from the President of Chrysler, who's apparently a bit miffed at Mitt for the whole Jeep bullshit lie.

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda

From the interviews I've seen with him, he's way more than miffed. It's nice to see at least one of Romney's lies bite him.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Those, by themselves, are not sufficient differences to cause this huge divide.

Yeah, it is, for me, because all those differences come from self-imposed ignorance, and I can't respect that.

They are if you belong to any of the marginalized groups being marginalized by their politics.

And that, too.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

You guys, I just sent my first work-related tweet. I feel terrible about it.

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?

You guys, I just sent my first work-related tweet. I feel terrible about it.

Why? (see above work-related rant)

I don't tweet, so is there something bad about tweeting about work?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Also, I think our country is suffering from lack of politeness and manners. And I blame the internet and cable news. My extended family includes some Republicans, and I think they are genuinely thoughtful and not all that knee-jerk and probably also a little racist, but I don't know any of that for a fact, because we don't talk about politics.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

Yeah, the car CEOs are NOT HAPPY.

Oh, just mostly because I want to keep the twitter separate from my work life. But I was trying to find out something quickly, and thought that might help. (It didn't.)

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

Jesse,

I know what you mean. I have to keep my twitter from my work life. I don't want nasty GOP folks to reign down disapproval. And they would.

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

"Chrysler gave its entire work force the day off to Vote Today!"

The Detroit 3 usually have Election Day off. It's been in the union contracts since 2000 or so. It may differ between salaried and hourly workers and/or union/non-union, but at GM non-union employees get all of the holidays union employees have.

That tweet may be a bit disingenuous.
