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

the passive-agressive approach but it might be worthwhile (or at least satisfying) here.
I'd love to needle them, but see above re trying to find more work for the nanny. I care about her livelihood more than trying to prove people wrong on the Internet at this point, so I don't want to be the one to fan the flames.
I just feel so betrayed by Darwin. I thought the stupid people were supposed to be culled from the herd by now.

It's our giant pattern-seeking brains that are the problem. Makes it easier to see conspiracies everywhere.

It seems to me that while as a society we're a bit more likely to Question Authority, we haven't yet figured out that it's also really useful to Question the Authority-Questioners.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Okay, I'm going to need you people to talk more, because otherwise I go read things that are bad for me.

I have Thursday and Friday off next week, and for the first time ever, we're not traveling for Thanksgiving.

I hate travelling on T-Day, but maybe it's because I'll be condemned to the most terrible long drive with numerous traffic jams between here and NJ, or else hideous air travel fuckups.
Seriously, Dana -- you don't want me to start going on about the stupidity of the furor over OMG911WTCNYC including Giulani popping up to talk about how it's unprecedented and a terrible security risk. Because I have to physically stop myself from going to NY and literally start punching him, and all the other talking heads.
