Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

I'm from Michigan. I get long-term unemployment despair. I get wanting someone to blame. But I don't think the Teabaggers are pointing their fury in the right direction.

Oh- I think it is crazy-- I was going to say that the situation is ripe for brainwashing, but that seems rude. I feel like poor white people are angry, and the teabaggers have taken that anger and directed it at poor black people. Probably because if the poor people of all colors got together and didn't blame each other, we would actually be able to get some reform done!

At least you can laugh....

Until we get President Palin, anyway.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

I can understand that. Given the choice between Lazio and Cuomo, I can see how anyone from outside tha Albany machine would seem appealing...except I've heard Paladino speak, and he's a fucking crazy person. I honestly don't know what I'd do if I were a Republican in this primary season. Probably stay home and plan to vote Independent in November.

Seriously, I was reading Corporette yesterday and one of the commenters was asking about a friend who wanted to borrow money who had been out of work for two years. And the other commenters went off, and I was reading it going "I know y'all are lawyers and shit but damn, you do know we are in a big recession and some people are out of work that long, and I'm sure the poor woman is depressed and has already cashed out her 401k and borrowed from her family??"

Our wings are not tired.

I want like buttons for work emails. Someone just sent out one with a "too soon?" joke in it. I'm a sucker for that shit.

So am I. I find myself wanting "like" buttons for lots of things, especially blogs, so I can just be "I was here. I read it. I like this. KTHXBYE."

Oh- I think it is crazy-- I was going to say that the situation is ripe for brainwashing, but that seems rude. I feel like poor white people are angry, and the teabaggers have taken that anger and directed it at poor black people. Probably because if the poor people of all colors got together and didn't blame each other, we would actually be able to get some reform done!

And Sophia just nailed it. It's the 21st century U.S. version of divide and conquer.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

Meara-ing:

There is a company mug and a company ID card holder at my desk.

Yay! Congrats on logoed accoutrement acquisition.

It's a good day that brought Tom Hardy into the world.

AMEN!!

Lucy in the sky with diamonds!

Dude, that is awesome. And I don't even like diamonds. And now I'm picture the Doctor proposing to River Song there, though somehow I doubt he was the one to pop the question.

Yay, tommyrot kitty!

Happy birthday, Nora!

Thanks for the help on the email last night - I have an interview Friday morning! I don't even know where to begin prepping this interview, I have traditionally not interviewed well. Any advice/coaching much appreciated.

We're very stretchy. - Connie Neil

Skipping the last few days of posts to say good luck on your interview, smonster!!

I had my psych eval for my bypass surgery yesterday. When the guy asked me my reasons for wanting the surgery, I mentioned in passing the fact that, with the economy being what it is, who knows when I'll need to be interviewing for a job again, and it's a lot harder getting a job at the size I am now. He was really surprised at the size-ist prejudice, and I was surprised at his surprise. Fascinating that a thin white professional man was really shocked to hear that obese women have a hard time getting hired.

And none of us deserving the cruelty or the grace -- Leonard Cohen

Happy Birthday, Nora!

Oh, and interview ~ma, smonster!

And, uh, Happy Birthday, Tom Hardy, because he'd probably find a way to vanity Google himself here.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
