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.
Just got to new city on trip after a surprise five hot bus ride! Somehow we thought it would be 2.5???
We also don't actually have tickets from here to Santiago tomorrow...and my friend is all "I want to stay here it's nice (after we've been here 20 minutes) can we extend our hotel room to two nights?" And I'm all "fuck no". Apparently 10 days of travel together may be our limit.
Also bitter because she has Internet service here while I have to wait until we are somewhere with wifi. So all I know is what she's told me today...and I am irked that Obama selected an old white dude. Seriously?!?!?
Yay, benign!
meara, this is calculated on Obama's part. He picked the most agreeable candidate he could find, with a long history of bipartisan support. The end game is to show how ridiculous the republicans are being. They can't back down without losing a lot of face, so this highlights the obstructionism to the fence sitters.
Edit: a confirmation hearing with another candidate could seriously damage that person's chances in the future. Indications are if Garland gets a hearing and is voted down on party lines he'll be happy to stay on the DC Circuit Court.
Timelies all!
Yay, Consuela!
Yay Consuela!
I will also offer that the left has its share of loonies, too.
Oh yes, but they're generally chaining themselves to trees or trying to have photographers thrown out of "safe spaces" at public student protests, not running for President. Sanders is by far the most extreme leftist I've seen with any shot at real power in this country, and while he's perhaps tilting at corporate windmills I'd say he's idealistic rather than crazy.
Oh, man, I had to do a lot of actual thinking my last hour or so of work. Was hoping to avoid that today. But I got through it, possibly even correctly.
Thanks, folks! I'm not psyched about the quarterly biopsies, but it's still preferable to surgery.

This is true. The GOP is really letting its freak flag fly (so to speak) in the presidential race this year
You know, of the various bullshit that pops up occasionally about Katrina, I am for sure very tired of "Well, our community had bad flooding too, but because we pulled together and helped each other, you didn't hear about it on the news."
Fuck you, friend of a friend on FB. Fuck you a lot.
