Kinda expected that regardless of the margin, if she loses, she won't go gracefully.

Oh, totally!

Check this out. An online kerfuffle (dog fancy) leads to lawsuits.

I have a feeling only the lawyers are gonna come out ahead on this one.

Damn, I should probably remove my green nail polish prior, huh? Interviewer is a bit of a Bubba, apparently. And I did such a good job on it, too. I wonder how dressed up I should get for a construction position? I have a black not-too-fancy suit I can wear.

unfortunately, yes. You can be cool and funky after you sign on the dotted line. Now is the time to appear trustworthy. If the interviewer is a good ol' boy, play to that. Take off the green polish, wear heels, a light colored blouse (dare I say pink if you have it). Yes, I know it's a contruction position, but they still want you to be a "lady"

PA Homeland Security gave names of anti-drill activists to drilling company

Pennsylvania Homeland Security has been spying on anti-drilling activists, taking down names of attendees at meetings and even a screening of a documentary on drilling; these dossiers on peaceful protesters are then supplied to Marcellus Shale, a drilling company. The State Homeland Security Director James Powers justifies the snooping on meetings and information sessions because activists' "presence may spark something else. [I don't want to see public meetings] escalate to physical criminal acts."

I've read the PA Governor has apologized for this.

Work emails: I just got this from our copywriter who is truly awesome.

If you’re receiving this email, it’s because I work with you and/or work on projects for you fairly regularly. Or maybe I just like the cut of your jib. Either way, I’m going to be on my honeymoon starting two weeks from today, and I’ll be out for around two weeks. Less vaguely, that’s date – date. If you think you may have need for some sweet, sweet copy during that time, please let me know as soon as possible so I can try and take care of it before I leave. I’ll be in deepest Africa with no connection to work email, most likely riding lions and such.

I’ll also be out Friday, since it’s the day before my wedding and I allegedly have to rehearse walking 10 feet down an aisle and standing reasonably still for 15 minutes.

In my absence, please direct any requests for copy to His Boss and any social media requests to My Boss. Because both of them seemed like they needed more work.

Salani kahle (Authentic isiZulu!),

Oh, crap, I lent my black heels (both pairs) to a friend for an out-of-town wedding. Shit. Just texted her to see if she's left yet.

I have a pink/white/beige/black striped button-down that I think will do. I'll wear tasteful jewelry and take out the extra hoops, but makeup will be minimal. Vortex, can I text you pics tonight?

Transparent soda cans??? No. Not natural.

Typing today is easier than yesterday, but I am officially over it now.

Transparent soda cans??? No. Not natural.

So your sense of aesthetics trumps your sense of "Hey, just like that Star Trek movie!"?

Somebody is making soda cans out of $10/sq inch material?

Transparent soda cans??? No. Not natural.

But can it be recycled?
