Okay, reading a recommendation for a tuition waiver that begins "it is my dubious honor to recommend"

If it was a job recommendation, I might suspect it was on purpose.

Andrew Breitbart died.

I'm sorry for his family. Saying anything else would fall into the realm of things you don't say about the dead.

It just seemed unexpected. He was only 42, I think.

Ginger,

fyi, but here is what Breitbart said about Ted Kennedy after he died. Not that we need to adopt such language, but...

What font do you have on your resume?

Palatino. On a background color about midway between the two taupes in the image, but slightly warmer.

Tom, as great as it is to have the vindication of former bosses desperate to have you back, I think avoiding the soul-sucking aspect of former job is worth any amount of money. I wouldn't even recommend the 3x salary consultant option others have suggested unless it were for a strictly limited term to enable a more relaxed job search for something you'd enjoy doing.

I'll stick with Jesse's "Huh." because otherwise I will say things unpleasant and stress myself out.

ita, that's absolutely wonderful. I hope it can stay that way too.

Tom, seriously? How weird. And validating, I presume!

Okra = gross. Sorry, okra lovers. Your taste buds are wrong.

for me it is about okra's texture. I don't find the taste unpleasant. but the texture is just too much.

Okra = gross boiled, neutral in gumbo, and nummy good when breaded and fried 'til it's black.

fyi, but here is what Breitbart said about Ted Kennedy after he died.

Yeah, I know. That's why I typed several nasty things and then deleted them because I like to think I'm better than that.

After sliced okra has been cooked a while in something like gumbo or soup, the slime people complain of just becomes thickening. I am not objective on this subject, though, because I like okra in all its forms.

I know Andrew Breitbart mainly through a horrible racist Twitter battle with Elon James White. He was... not nice.

t /trying hard not to speak ill of the dead

le nub, are you pointing to Brietbart's post mortem evisceration of Ted Kennedy as a reason that we should be saddened by his death? That wasn't clear. I lived in MA for 20 years during which Ted Kennedy represented us in the Senate and was there when he died. God knows he was flawed as hell, bur he did OK by the citizens. He definitely got a pass on a lot of shit because he was a vaunted Kennedy and he was a privileged white rich dude (in the Senate, though, who isn't?) but he did work to help more than just his wealthy supporters.

If you disagree, that's cool, I was mostly just confused about the POV or your comment to Ginger with that "but" in there.
