[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

Much ~ma to your husband, Connie. I hope his results are good.

Connie, tons of pet scan ~ ma for your DH.

Our wings are not tired.

Much ~ma for each and hubby, Connie. I would stay on the blindly optimistic train myself, but he has to do what he has to do too. Understandable in both instances.

Laura, a guy went on Facebook to recruit people to assassinate Obama

Yes, I really think the crazy hatred is way off the scale for Obama than it was for Bush. Unfortunately I do think that part of it is racist, but I know people I would otherwise not consider racist that hate him with a passion too.

omnis, pursue. That's an order from a shy woman who can use M-16. - Shir

The farther we get from TV "equal time" law, the more the crazy rhetoric gets. The fact that Fox News can keep spinning and spinning and spinning the same garbage all day, day after day, ramps up people's anxiety on an issue. So, if you are one of those viewers with Fox channel on all day, yeah, you will freak out, because all day, you are hearing the spin doctors say the same thing. How Obama is killing America. How ACA is the first step to communism. How the administration is soft on immigration. Etc. Etc. And just enough of it is based on facts, that it's quite easy to believe it all. Propaganda. It's a bitch, yo!

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

Fingers crossed for your hubby, Connie.

Fingers knotted into a Star of David for your DH Connie. Also making the sign of the hammer.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

Lots of ~ma for your hubby, Connie.

I've got an on-campus interview on Wednesday. Just today, around noon, they emailed me to let me know what they wanted me to do for the teaching demonstration. Part of it I can do -- it's a time crunch to prep a lesson plan, but it's stuff I've taught a ton of times before, so I can do it -- but the other part, there's just no way. It's a topic I've never taught before, from a perspective I've never taught before, and I simply cannot prep it in a day and a half, while also teaching my own classes. So I emailed back and told them that I could do the first part of it, but that I wouldn't be able to do the second part, and explained why. I'll see what they say. (I don't really think this job is for me, anyway, but I don't know enough about it to say for certain.)

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

I think it is fucking insane for them to email you about what to do for a job talk less than 2 days before you are going to do it.

I swear to God, academic drives me batshit sometimes.

They fail at job interviewing. Troubling if that's an indicator of the demands they expect from staff.
