I have read about Orca (and I appreciate your link to the discussion of the "consultant con job"), but I am not at all convinced that Orca lost the Presidency for MR.
I totally agree.
I just find the Orca thing fascinating on its own.
Some people juggle geese!

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

I just realized that I managed to return a DVD case to the library without the DVD in it. Brilliant.

Now tagless for your comfort.
I've done that several times, Dana.
I have a bout today--a mixer in Appleton. Which means derby fun!

Harry Reid's a Mormon, and many of the Mormons I know are actually a lot more politically liberal than you'd expect. (And very happy about the election results.)
The Church as an organization has a lot to answer for (as do many Churches), but there are many LDS members in good standing who believe that it is not their job to force their beliefs on the population as a whole, which Mitt Romney himself has stated.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
Yeah, I went to a Web site that was run by feminist Mormons and they were PISSED about Romney.

From way back:
Pix, can you explain the NBPTS renewal process. For Entry 1, I just write about 4 professional growth areas. But then what is the extra pages of documentary evidence?I think I have a PDF of my entire submission if you want to take a look as a model. It took me freaking forever to figure out WTH I was supposed to be doing , but it came together well in the end. I know I would have liked to see a model of the whole thing, so let me know.

Florida has officially been called for Obama.
I heard that on the radio (the classical music public radio station) about 5 minutes ago. I thought it had been called for him Thursday or Friday, but I guess it wasn't official.

Le Nub, my sister just called and I lost the long post I wrote. And I just found the Sununu comment.
Let me just boil my comment down to racism makes as much sense to me as deciding to hate all people who are left or right handed. I KNOW there are layers and layers to racism and xenophobia, I know it's not a simple thing, and yet...it's so fucking ILLOGICAL to me. It offends me.
ETA: I understand hate. But one should, if one must hate, hate a person for something personal -- stealing your spouse, killing your dog, whatever. Skin color? It's like "Oooh, all people who like jeggings should not be able to vote because they are clearly dumb." I GET ethnic and cultural tensions, et. al., and know that's a part of it, and runs very deeply in some people, and often for good reason. But often, I just want to be a goddess for a day and fucking cluestick the shit out of a shitton of people.
And now, I am going to look at puppies or something for a few minutes and get back to work.

Woo hoo! My vote counted! Oh Florida, may you get it right some day.
