It is too damn early and we've already been on the road over an hour. Please let me never live further than an hour from a major airport.
This girl at school? She told me that gelatin is made from ground-up cow's feet and that every time you eat Jell-O there's some cow out there limping around without any feet. But I told her that I'm sure the cow is dead before they cut its feet off, right?

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
Not Billytea. But as I understand it you are fined modestly for not voting. I presume the bill is mailed to you the way it is when running a red light is captured by a traffic camera in the USA. Also if you wish to not vote as a matter of principle, you can cast a blank or spoiled ballot. You only get fined for not showing up. Dunno what they do if you get sick or trapped in a collapsed tunnel or something at the last moment.
This is essentially correct, but you also have the opportunity to state your reason for not voting. There are valid reasons; for instance, I didn't vote while in the FAC for religious reasons, without being fined. (Illness or accident can also be a valid reason.) The fine is $20, or $50 for repeat offenders.

5 minutes of Testing...testing...test....test...123...test over the office emergency intercom. IT WORKS, OK.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Back from vacation, and I only had like 150 emails, and almost zero things that needed addressing. Sweet!

So I have been up since 3am which is contributing to this, but I just had to raise my voice at work. DO YOUR JOB, do it correctly. Stop half assing and thinking that is good enough.

I heard about the anti-semitic imagery in that twitter from Trump's campaign and I thought it was probably a tempest in a teapot and it was just someone using a star image without thinking how it would look. Then I saw it and... well, you have to catch that. Calling that out isn't a reach.

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

Also, it was originally posted a few weeks ago on a white supremacist site.

Ok, wow, the Trump campaign makes it really hard to give them benefit of the doubt.

They've retweeted things from white supremacist Twitter accounts before. Ones that were obviously neo-Nazi from the name or profile pic, not even ones where you'd have to go and look at older posts to figure it out.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
I stopped giving the Trump campaign the benefit of the doubt on anything a while ago. they don't deserve it.
