I think Edwards is a dog. a really serious dog. I have lost respect for him based on what I know from trial transcripts.

I have to agree: I don't want to hear more.

I don't doubt your DH, Laura. At all.

I have lost respect for him based on what I know from trial transcripts.

I didn't think I had any to lose. I absolutely loathed him as my senator, when it was entirely clear that he was only representing himself and wouldn't lift a finger to, you know, actually vote if it meant taking a position on anything at all that might constitute an actual record in the presidential run it was completely obvious he was prepping for. I never bought his fake-populist bullshit given his previous big-money politics. The very sight of him absolutely makes my flesh crawl, and has from the day he popped up on the scene.

And yet? I lost respect for him in this trial.

Oh yeah, I would think if the trial was based on his personal behavior the verdict would have been swift and unanimous. The actual legal stuff they were deciding was more complex and I wasn't interested enough to study the facts.

Since I have been working at home today (twisted knee) I have been wasting more time reading news stuff. After reading local interviews with face-eating dude in Miami's girlfriend and mother I feel bad for joking about the incident. I had first heard about it from my aunt that works as a nurse at a local hospital. They were sent warnings after the event. Don't know what happened there, but clearly something very bad.

Working on an abuse team, I tend to forget how far down a dark rabbit hole we can get. Because we kinda just took a new team member down there and blew his mind when we turned on the flashlight.

FYI - I'm planning to hit the F2F, and returning home to San Diego after - also staying with a friend, not at a hotel, so will have refrigerator/freezer access. If you ladies would like to use EpicTangent messenger service, let me know.

I am currently scheduled to fly home before the actual F2F starts but we know how well that worked out last time. Instead of four days, it was closer to four weeks. So I will keep it in mind.

I hate websites that operate like that--honestly, you can tell me up front, because if I don't want to give out my email address I'd also really rather not waste the time on the quiz.

Me too! And I did waste my time on it because I am not giving them my email address. Though I could really use a good bra fitting and exchanging some of my current ones out.

amych,

your perspective is interesting. I didn't know any of this when he ran. He seemed to have his politics and his heart in the right place, though I must admit, I was a bit concerned about his sincerity, but I thought this was probably my general distrust of politicians in general.

I had first heard about it from my aunt that works as a nurse at a local hospital. They were sent warnings after the event. Don't know what happened there, but clearly something very bad.

Warnings about ... what? Isn't the attacker dead?

yeah, but if he took a bad batch of some drugs, more weird shit could be coming.

Oh. Ack.

I am as amych WRT to Edwards. Smarmy and sleazy, for sure.
