Ahem. Yes.
It's possible that he's in the land of perpetual Wednesday, or the crazy melty land, or you know, the world without shrimp.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Guess I can still get one of those lottery tickets. Although standing in line is not an option. Not that enthused.
Socialized last night, so back to working today, with football in the background although I don't really have a favored team.

A friend of mine just politely linked to Snopes on Facebook, and the person replied: "Um, Snopes is run by liberals and isn't trustworthy, when researching something of a conservative nature."

Reality has a well documented liberal bias, flea.

Exactly! I'm tempted to link [link] but ... you can't win with some people.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
If they think Snopes is biased, they're not going to believe factcheck.org either.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
It would be interesting to hear what the response was to the factcheck validation of Snopes. Probably also deeply troubling but, you know, interesting.

I have the same issue when trying to dispute anything from some of my conservative extended family members. They don't trust anything unless it's from Fox News or Newsmax or something.
Having a political discussion is tough when the two sides aren't living in the same world.

not your mom's socks.
I actually had a relative say, when I disputed a Fox point, "Why can't we just have a fair and balanced discussion?"
I poured more wine and wished for some sort of typhoon or flood or something.

Confession: I really hate the term "sportsball." The way I see people on FB use it comes across as condescending and rude. Am I reading it wrong?
