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.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
And Obama won Hispanic voters by 44 percent -- 72 percent Obama to 28 percent Romney
Does anyone know what the Hispanic numbers were like in 2008?

Thrive to spite them
I found this about the Hispanic voting numbers in 2008 [link]

Interesting. I'm curious about what might have changed between now and then--obviously people have had a chance to see what Obama's like in office, but I'm also curious about demographics that might have been increasingly alienated over the past year by GOP shenanigans--are Hispanics feeling more uncomfortable? Are women clenching their knees and telling them to get away from their uteruses?

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
ita,
yes. What is interesting too is that in Missouri, Akin was polling below McCaskill, but he lost in a bigger landslide than was anticipated. A polling specialist seemed to think that some women on the phone said they were voting for Akin and changed their minds at the polls.

Mr. Scola’s wardrobe by Botany 500
“One of the least commented-upon aspects of the election returns is that well over fifty per cent of Caucasian females voted for Romney, too. Not as many of them as white men, of course, but a solid majority. Indeed, as a proportion of the total, more white women voted for Romney on Tuesday than voted for George W. Bush, in 2004, or for John McCain, in 2008.”

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
AHA! Figured out the magic words to use with UPS customer service: "Is there someone else I can speak to who might have that information?" That got me a supervisor who is telling me he has the local office on the other line. I still have no coffee table, but I somehow feel closer. He's "going to see" if they can deliver it tomorrow. Of course, I had shit to do tomorrow! But whatever. I'm starting to think God doesn't want me to have a new coffee table. (The last one I bought didn't fit in my mother's car and I had to return it on the spot.)

Oh, I can come pick it up at your center tomorrow? No I can't, you fuckers! Someone's supposed to call me back.

Also, white women are obviously the worst.
