Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Doesn't really make any more sense, that.

"How dare these hicks from the Ozarks act like they're the equals of world leaders--and be respected in return!" Classism runs deep in this country as well, defined by money and contacts.

Yeah, America is not a classless society, our classes just aren't defined by titles and hereditary landownership.

Because of the TV show, I've been thinking about the OJ trial a lot lately, and I'm amazed at what a perfect shitstorm of race, gender, and class it was. It just brought to the foreground everything that Americans like to pretend doesn't exist.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

It is time for me to leave, but I am entering hour three of a conference call with my coworker, who is currently showing me every page of a 7-page document she edited. You'd think this might be a fast process, but it is not.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Come on, coworker of Dana!

The people I know who are anti-Clinton, it's because of her corporate ties. Which seems like a legitimate beef, but surely pales next to any given Republican.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

JFC, Dana. I've been on that call.

If you don't survive, it's been nice knowing you.
