I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

I am pretty sure we should all get shirts that say "Uppity Bitch" - men and women alike.

I have been productive thus far this morning, 3 things off my work to do this, plus some ridic scheduling nonsense NOT on my to-do list. Then personal bill paying.

I would really really like to get something accomplished before a 2pm meeting, but I am not sure I can complete more than finding a file. It's been something I've needed to do for over a month, but no one to hekp me along. It's finding and figuring out someone else's use of an action matrix from management meetings.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

Isn't that the standard advice? (Never read the comments)

It is, but I often ignore it!

I think the trouble started with two things. One was the Reagan years where Reagan would run on and support policy with complete bullshit stories, and it worked brilliantly. I think there was a shift in supporting policy with narrative instead of fact.

The other related thing was the rise of right-wing media. Now we have right-wingers disagreeing not on just policy but also on reality. How do you achieve compromise when you have two sides not even working with the same reality?

How can a man show how much God loves him without having a quiverful of children to show off his God-given virility?

Plus there's the not-so-hidden thing of "Must breed more white Christian babies!"

The problem with comments on news articles is that you are only seeing the opinions of the kind of people who leave comments on news articles.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

There's also good evidence that a lot of far right comments are from paid commenters.

Whewwww. The club where I was Friday has my DL and ATM cards. I've been watching my account all weekend and no odd charges have hit, so I hadn't cancelled the card. I just need to drive into Denver to pick them up.

Kinda makes me have hope for the human race.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

That’s great news, Suzi!
