Yikes.
Tea Party Convention organizer: Tancredo gave 'fantastic speech'
The organizer of the Tea Party Convention says he agrees with Tom Tancredo's description of President Obama as a socialist.
The former congressman from Colorado and 2008 Republican presidential candidate blasted Obama, saying "people who could not even spell the word 'vote', or say it in English, put a committed socialist ideologue in the White House. His name is Barack Hussein Obama."
I believe Tancredo also advocated for a civics-literacy test for people to be allowed to vote.
This may not be the speech or the guy you want giving the speech when you have an movement that some people think has racial undertones. When advocating for a return to Jim Crow laws, it gets a little difficult to complain that people are reading racism into it. Sort of like complaining about reading racism into Dread Scott ruling.
Augh. I think a well-meaning coworker might have done something that I will have to spend a while fixing. Nothing major, but worthy of a sigh.
We sit next to a support desk now. Not only does at least one of them project a great deal, they are very difficult to not listen to. One guy is having a great deal of difficulty having the user type in the word "exchange." It's epic. I think he's on to the second person on that machine now, and he's explaining the backspace key. And that it's okay if you backspace too far, because you can just type it in again.
I can't wrap my head around the patience required. Now he's spelling "office."
Finally watched the Superbowl ad my department worked on...SO NOT WORTH THE TROUBLE.
(It's the "Seasons change, football is always here" one for NFL Films. It has exactly nothing to do with their original pitch, which has me wondering why exactly we did all those hours of expensive research for them?)
My boss totally folded on the fight I was trying to instigate on Friday. @@ I'm totally right, and yet will never win.

As if that's not an idea that would blow up in the teabaggers' face.
True, if we had a civics-literacy test the elections would be decided primarily by immigrants.

Well, on 100 specific questions.
God, I could use a massage. And I say that having never had a professional one. I ache.
I know this is shocking, but I have a masseuse who is awesome. If you want a hookup I'll pass along her number.
I was doing fine until I sat down to work. Now my shoulders are killin' me! I think I could technically get out and go to work but am not highly motivated to. I have plenty of work to do that I can do here.
eta msbelle, I'm sorry mac is acting up. ugh.
