“Well, I Don’t Really Want To Shake Your Hand, You’re Intrinsically Evil.”

It's homophobia at the Conservative Political Action Conference. Yeah, big surprise, but it's just... weird.

Alex Knepper, an openly gay conservative, bumped into the young student of "natural law" at CPAC, who gave the entirely meretricious attack on the inclusion of "GOPride" [sic] at CPAC above. It's a revealing exchange. Sorba is quite fixated on the issue of homosexuality, for some reason. But here's the full exchange:

Hey, you California types. How bad will it be to drive from Burbank Airport to Ventura if I arrive at like 4:15 on a Thursday? Will it be utter rush hour hell?

I'm NoCal, but I suspect that would be a nightmare.

Where in Ventura? It's probably your best airport bet, but it probably won't be fun.

Happy Birthday, Laura!!!!

The Burbank part is a given. Already booked. Going to Ventura Beach.

A new layer of mgmt has been put in between my boss and her boss. She's flown in from NY to meet everyone and hear their assessment of the group. I'm still deciding how honest to be with her.

I got taxes done this weekend! Federal and Kansas taxes are electronically filed. Missouri taxes will need to be mailed, but I'm holding off on that since it's a payment instead of a refund. On the good side, the KS refund is more than the MO payment.

Going to Ventura Beach.

All the way to the beach? Yeah, you'll be there a while. 101 is pretty evil at the best of times, but you're making the best of a bad deal.

Microsoft Word and SharePoint are conspiring to piss me the hell off. No one has checked this document out. Let me edit it, for crissakes.

I did my taxes in January. My tax refund arrived the same day as my direct deposited paycheck. It was weird.
