"How dare these hicks from the Ozarks act like they're the equals of world leaders--and be respected in return!" Classism runs deep in this country as well, defined by money and contacts.
I'm very sorry if she tipped off anyone about your cunningly concealed herd of cows.

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.

Yeah, America is not a classless society, our classes just aren't defined by titles and hereditary landownership.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
Because of the TV show, I've been thinking about the OJ trial a lot lately, and I'm amazed at what a perfect shitstorm of race, gender, and class it was. It just brought to the foreground everything that Americans like to pretend doesn't exist.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
It is time for me to leave, but I am entering hour three of a conference call with my coworker, who is currently showing me every page of a 7-page document she edited. You'd think this might be a fast process, but it is not.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Come on, coworker of Dana!
The people I know who are anti-Clinton, it's because of her corporate ties. Which seems like a legitimate beef, but surely pales next to any given Republican.

JFC, Dana. I've been on that call.
If you don't survive, it's been nice knowing you.

Are you having technical difficulties, Dana? Is the screen sharing no longer working? {{cough, cough}}
Just took CJ out to purchase his first suit. It is being tailored and will be ready for next weekend. He is going to look so nice. We briefly considered a tux as it would be great for the party and for prom (yes, he is going to prom with his girlfriend!!!). But beyond that, not as many opportunities for wear. Though, knowing him, he would create tux opportunities.
