Wow. That is...a LOT of racism.
Yeah. Also, I want to know what the guy ranting about the government poisoning us with chemicals was on about. I assume not about protecting the Clean Water Act. Is this a flouride thing?

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.

Flouride or chemtrails probably.
Prop 30 passed in CA!
That is more good news from a night of good news!
North and South Dakota continue to be the only states in the country without felony animal abuse laws.
Not good news. Bastards.
Virginia went blue again! I am surprised and happy.
Man, what a night. Now today I've got to get my head into getting ready to go to the UK. We still have no electricity at the NJ office, so I haven't worked since last Tuesday. This is turning into the longest vacation I've ever had! It may have cured me of my obsessive need to work, too. Someone else is gonna have to do all my work for nine days, and there's nothing I can do about it. I've achieved fuck-it-all nirvana.
I am feeling so optimistic I set up payments to my IRAs which I haven't done in 2 years.
Oy Vey - another co-worker just started in on how the Healthcare reform changes are going to tax businesses so much they will start laying off people and unemployment is going to go through the roof.

msbelle, funny you should say that. I was just looking that up.
The Kaiser Family Foundation has a great website with a lot of useful information on the ACA. Frankly, I found it more helpful than the government site. For one thing, there's actually helpful information for employers.
Whoo-boy. Lots of anti-Obama griping at work today. Trying to stay low-key because the owners are hard-core Fox News Obama is an evil socialist Muslim (one of them actually said as much in a meeting) types and I otherwise like my job.
Had to correct a Co-worker though.
"The Dow dropped 300 points because Obama was re-elected."
Me: "It will go back up."
Him: "In 4 years."
Me: "You do realize it's gone up 5000 points since he was elected, right?"
Him: "No, it didn't."
Me: "It was around 8000 when Obama took office. It's around 13000 now."
Him: "I don't think so." (walks away)
I sent him an IM with the Dow from 1 -21 -09 and today. 2 hours later and no reply.
Stuff like this frustrates the hell out of me. I have no problem discussing differences of policy and philosophy with people. But I hate them refusing to know or accept factual data.
Finally caught up. Like most folks here, I'm breathing a huge sigh of relief. I'm very chuffed about Maine passing the pro-gay-marriage referndum. Also pleased with the MA results.
One side note on my recent travails - I was psyched to hear Mom voted by absentee ballot prior to passing away. She'd have voted a straight Democratic ticket if past is precedent, and I think it is. I did allow myself a moment of amusement during everything by muttering "Mom was from Chicago?" to myself.

Frank, that's lovely. Go Mom.
their last prime minister was indicted for tax fraud and bribery.
That's probably only the tip of the iceberg.
Is this a flouride thing?
