YES! Galahs! Now I can sound smarter. And insult people. Score! And they are a noisy, jittery bunch.
Going to be a hot one.
And I wonder, what possible catastrophe came crashing down from heaven and brought this dashing stranger to tears?

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
Part of what that post says is "A message for you. This is no longer about an election. It is about letting our voices be heard and at least being able to say we tried to save America from becoming European America."
I thought they'd been complaining about it stopping being European America. Pretty sure I've seen complaints about it becoming African America and Central American America.

Also, I won't extrapolate to greater Australia, but 'Nursing a hangover, lov?' to the woman buying coffee at a gas station when other customers are buying BEER AT shy of 8? NO LOVE.

I assume that's code for socialized medicine (which is code for "not letting poor people just die when they get pneumonia").

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I really feel like people who don't like it here should go back where they came from.

Quick confab with my mom: she's making dad see a dr when they get back cause she doesn't like the changes she's been seeing, which she tried to explain away before but she's seeing it's so not explainawayable. So. Good? But also worrying.

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 thought people came here to escape socialism. Wasn't the Revolutinary War fought to end the tyranny of Karl Marx?

Trust my rage
I'm curious about people's reactions to the Petreaus thing. It's news, I think, because of his job and because he was so well respected, but I saw this play out over and over while I was close to the Army. Does it happen that way everywhere or is the military just really good at infidelity?
