I wish I could believe Atrios when he says OVERNIGHT. It's like Obama ordering orange juice.
I have a personal story that may help you folks understand how this Obama thing can hurt the average person. Many years ago Bill Bradley was giving a speech in the Senate and he used the phrase, 'Pell Grants for the poor.' At the time I was in school and a beneficiary of Pell Grants but I never thought of myself as poor or as Pell grants being exclusively for the poor. It was quite a sting and I'v never forgotten it nor forgiven Bradley.
So what Obama has said has real significance in small town America.
...well, thank God for this! I was going crazy trying to find an appropriately crappy insertable YouTube video on my crappy dialup to insert in that last thread...
Smoking shattered computer carcasses all over the house...disturbing, really....
...and, thank you for your concern, fred....
I saw a news report the other day about a couple with two young boys, both of whom were autistic. They were using a new therapy, of some sort which was the focus of the story, and it had greatly improved the older boy's condition. The younger being too young to benefit from it currently. It was amazing to this child, who did not appear to have signs of autism in the short footage shown of him.

fug that, I'm poor, 57 yr. old counting on gettin a pell & a couple of other grants to ride out this outrage of a BushCo economy.

Atrios, I was wondering if you'd read this? It's right in your back yard, maybe even within view of your deck:
A neutral observer, state Rep. Dwight Evans, whose district is in northwest Philadelphia, said there might be a racial subtext to the dispute. Ward leaders, he said, see Obama airing millions of dollars worth of television ads in the city -- money that benefits largely white station owners, feeding resentment. People wonder why Obama isn't sharing the largesse with the largely African American field workers trying to get him elected, Evans said.

Thanks for taking what I said to heart, Snow. Regarding what you posted upthread is true, early intervention works but schools and states are loathe to spend the money. It will very well take an act of Congress to make them do what is right.
My son has autism and his major deficit is speech. The school system still fights speech therapy for him because of funding issues and it is only through the insurance the company I work for that he got the speech therapy he needed (6 years too late for the optimal outcome you read about but I am thrilled at what the poor guy is able to do).

Yes. It is also epidemic in Europe, Japan and India. Autism and mercury poisoning have many shared traits.

He was typically developing until he had his MMR at 12 months. I am kicking myself because I used to be an advocate for vaccines. Little did I know the unnecessary preservatives made of mercury to extend their shelf life might have been a factor in brain damage. The CDC refuses to investigagte the link because one of their missions is to make sure every child has every vaccine imagined.

Phila, from what I remember, the kid had about a year of solid training with no results and within 5 days of starting on the new stuff he started feeding back all the stuff that they'd been training.
So that matches what you said...

That's interesting, and it's possibly that there's some connection. But it's also true that what you're describing happens spontaneously in autism, so it may just be a coincidence. Other possibilities are that new stimuli caused the kid to make some new connections, or that the nutritional program involved giving up on an earlier approach, which the kid was then effectively forced to use.
I'm no expert, though...I'm just going by the wife's experience.
Well, there was alcohol

Like this?
iirc, gordon sort of brought it on himself. somebody at eschaton knew the guy who owned the company he worked at,or was the ceo there, something like that, and said gordon better cool it or they would report him. gordon didnt believe it, and challenged them to go ahead. they did, and he got fired.
Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger said Friday that he would fight an initiative to amend the California Constitution to ban same-sex marriage if it qualifies for the November ballot.
Schwarzenegger has vetoed bills that would allow gay marriage but said he opposes the sort of amendments that are being proposed by two competing groups. Such amendments are already on the books in 26 states, but the governor said it would be a "waste of time" to pursue one in California.
"I will always be there to fight against that," Schwarzenegger said, prompting loud cheers and a standing ovation from about 200 people at the annual convention of the Log Cabin Republicans, the nation's largest gay Republican group.
The Austrian-born governor immediately cracked that he wished activists would instead focus on passing an amendment to allow naturalized citizens to run for president.
Both proposed initiatives would limit marriage to heterosexuals, and one measure would revoke the spousal rights and tax benefits currently extended to same-sex couples under state laws.
Schwarzenegger supports the current benefits for same-sex couples. In vetoing bills that would have legalized gay marriage, he has said he thinks the question should be up to voters or the courts, not lawmakers.
Geoffrey Kors, executive director of the gay rights group Equality California, said Schwarzenegger's opposition could help defeat a marriage ban or even prevent it from getting enough signatures to qualify for the ballot.
"We were thrilled. We have been asking him to do this," said Kors, whose group's volunteers have been working to persuade people not to sign petitions for the proposed initiative. "The governor's support to defeat it is critical."

My suggestion about portland eschacon is two fold. Avoid labor day weekend - it sucks for travel and hotels. Make the event multi-day because it makes it easier for NoCal, LowCal, Denverites and Phoenicians to rationalize attendance. Also the cost of flying Duncan Hack out is amortized over more days.
Crazy thing about the Rutles, they were actually pretty fucking good!

A few hours ago, Atrios was talking about maybe somebody could stay at his new place cuz he's not moving in for a couple of months.. I can't do it because of the aforementioned father, but it sounds like an opportunity for someone who has the time to go to Philly to work on the primary campaign of their choice...

Yeah. It's a gray area, at the very least.
I'm torn on this whole question. I like the free-for-all aspect of Eschaton's comments, esp. compared to dKos. But if I were in charge - God forbid - I'd probably take a more aggressive approach to deleting and/or banning certain types of trolls. I think we lost some really wonderful commenters because of these schmucks.
That said, I can see why Atrios wouldn't want to deal with it. Blogging's hard enough as it is, and it's certainly not his fault people keep feeding 'em.

Hey did you hear Feith on Hannity today?
I taped it, do you want a copy so you can destroy his comments?

Feith should be strung up by his neck from a lamp post along Pennsylvania Avenue along with the other traitors, Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld, Wolfowicz, Rice, Powell, Tenet...I say leave them there to wither and blow in the wind like wind chimes!
Hey did you hear Feith on Hannity today?
Did you hear Red Buttons on Jerry Lewis today?
Portland, MAINE!
Isn't that the place that you have to pass through on I-95 when you're goin' to Freeport, man?
Is it normal to bleed from the anus for over 4 days?
A lot of Chimpy's little mafia squad should be jailed.
And they fucking know it.
But none more than Dick Cheney. Isn't it weird that the vice president is generally held to be more culpable for what this nation has done, than the fucking President?
Fuck off Jack!!!

I think you should be directing that question to Jeff Gannon or John Aravosis.
Isn't that the place that you have to pass through on I-95 when you're goin' to Freeport, man?
I live in Freeport. Work in Portland. So yeah.
Dick Cheney needs to ask permission to take a fucking piss, for the rest of his hateful life.
Dick Cheney snacks on the hearts of infants and washes them down with gold goblets filled with fresh human blood.
I think you should be directing that question to Jeff Gannon or John Aravosis.
I get it, it's like, John Arovosis is GAY!1! so he takes it up the ass!
Hahaha!
Speaking of Dick Cheney, has he harvested the organs from his grandson yet?
I think you should be directing that question to Jeff Gannon or John Aravosis.
Homophobe alert.
On this Obama thig - I think he was right and excellent. But the anger he speaks of is really masking FEAR. These people he speaks of are frightened. Their jobs are gone, their local merchants have been driven out by Wal Mart. God, guns and hating those not like themselves are all they have left. But I don't think they are ready to hear that, so Obama was correct in framing what they[re feeling as anger.
Hey did you hear Feith on Hannity today?

spocko
...Nope, I don't have the stamina to spend time on shows like Hannity's even if I weren't at work. I'd like to hear what he had to say, though, so if you have a copy I'd love to hear it....
Please, Spocko, email me at the address on my homepage. It's been a long day and I'm going to bed now, but I'll be back in the game tomorrow...
Temple Of The Dog 04.12.08 - 2:11 am |
I want to go on record that I strongly condemn your comment about Feith.
And I'm quite serious. I believe he is a war criminal, but we are (or were) a nation of laws and I would like him to be tried and convicted and then punished. Punished by imprisonment. I am also not in favor of the death penalty.
I'm bothering to point this out because I've railed against talk radio hosts saying this kind of thing on commercially supported broadcast radio for three years and if they come to me later and say, "You didn't condemn hanging when if was for people you hate." I can say. Actually I did condemn those comments. When I saw those kind of comments I DID speak out and I did condemn them.
Now I know this venue is different and I know that you are not on publicly licensed broadcast radio, so you can swear and say stuff like you did, but as much as I think that these people should be in jail and not teaching at a catholic university I do not condone the actions you suggested.
It's Raining McCain

I'll send it Jack. If it is a really big file I'll send it via big file transfer service called "You Send It"
Sorry Mr. French, I just cannot stand that arrogant asshole.
Someone commented at his blog the other day that for someone who whined about not receiving a rebate check because he makes $75,000.00 a year and about the high cost of living in DC, Aravosis sure goes on a lot of overseas vacations.
Aravosis responded back that he has worked hard to get multiple degrees and gets "others" to pay for his vacations due to his "unique expertise"...
The guy has multiple degrees and yet has to make a living running a blog and begging his readers for donations so he can upgrade his blog OR pay for his numerous vacations.
Done venting...
I do not condone the actions you suggested.
spocko
Nor do I. But he should be put in the dock to answer, and none of this "I don't prefer to appear" shit applies.
Sorry spocko...I guess a guilotine would be out of the question too.

Actually spocko I also agree that we are a nation of laws, and the above criminals should get their day in court just as long as when they are found guilty they are thrown in some dark cell for the rest of their lives.

MP
Agreed, and actually that is why I'm pushing Athenae's book to radio producers and I'm sending the tape to Jack. These people have good questions to ask Feith and I want them to get to the producers of these radio shows. Now Hannity wouldn't listen, but he might just get on a centrist program that feels they can ask some tough questions.
I also think that there are steps we can take to make sure that he doesn't have a cushy job at a Catholic university.
Thing is, we all know they lied to Congress, lied to NATO lied to everyone to get this war on.

Rookie...no....Homophobe....no again.
Spocko, you are right.
We're better than them Violence is their way, not ours. Using the law can be frustrating because it takes time, but violence is not the way.
Must sleep nao - 'night.

Temple Of The Dog | 04.12.08 - 2:18 am
Dude. This is actually a pet peeve of mine.
Dick Cheney and Karl Rove are not two people who deserve to have some supernatural/evil aura associated with their names.
Dick is like an overgrown kid playing Stratego or Risk . . . only it's real life, with our real national security.
Karl is like the kid who would punches people in the nuts to gain an advantage in a fight. Everyone attributes a genius-like persona to a guy who simply does things that others believe to be to far into the gutter.
If Sarah Deere is out there.
Thing is, we all know they lied to Congress, lied to NATO lied to everyone to get this war on.

I totally agree but the war mongers supporters always throw back that the rest of the world thought Saddam had WMD's.
Senator Dick Durbin was one of the 8 senators on the intelligence commitee who saw the original evidence given by the Bushites, evidence the rest of the senators didn't see and he said he knew it was bullshit but because of National security if he would of said anything he could have been thrown in prison.
i'm no poet and i know it
i don't use five dollar words
this might not sound like much
compared to all the pretty things you've heard...
hey rookie, you're doing it all wrong. Now watch and learn ...
Thanks. Didn't know you were out there.
Do you think my instincts were correct, though?
No Labcoat Larry when people do evil things like Cheney and Rove, they should be labeled as such. If you feel it gives them a sense of a super natural auro that is your problem.
As for Risk or Stratego, that would be George W. Bush who probably used to beat his little brother Jeb at those two board games as a kid and in his warped mind thinks this automatically makes him a war president.
They rolled heavy, and they knew it.
Bet the fucking house.
And it came up snake eyes, and there wasn't a big ol' tie a yellow ribbon round the old oak tree parade like they thought, and it all went to shit and people started abandoning ship right and left, starting with General Tommy Franks, etc, fucking etc.
And this Members Only jacket wearing dipshit *still* will squiggle out of this and blame it on the Dem who takes over.
Good Grief.
Phil! Shut up!
I have a book called "the faith of George W. Bush" that tells the story of how he used to shoot his younger brother and sisters with his bb gun as they ran down the hallway.
1) What kind of parent allows that?
2) What kind of child does that?
3) Why wasn't this brought up in the campaign? Because after he was born again nothing bad he did before that counted. Great trick.
http://allintense.blogspot.com/
One thing is for certain. Al Qaida is praying to Allah that Insane McCain becomes our next president as this will assure that there record number of recruits will get valuable hands on training at our solders, their families, Iraqi citizens and US taxpayers expense.
Good Grief.
No Good, plenty Grief. Got to sleep now. G'night, batses.
Where's the Poop Troll when you need him?
hey aangus!!! Nice one
Conscience-driven "progressives" (gee, is there any other, more precious kind?) need to initiate a global "Free Lynndie England" movement!
This poor leash-wielding, Iraqi-stacking soldier-woman was a mere cog in the vast Bush torture apparatus, and you all know it!
Free Lynndie England, you leftie twats!

No. I think I stand by what I say.
The entire Neo-Con movement [of which Dick is a member] smacks of overgrown boys playing Stratego, D n' D, or Risk with global issues. I especially remember the Black Coffee Briefings of the Defense Policy Board and Richard Perle who especially make me think like this.
The problem I see is that many of the dipshits who vote [particularly here in the South] automatically feel affinity for these limpdicks when liberals [like myself] rail against them for being "evil" which translates to them as "effective."

Parents with beautiful minds.
Yep. And of course that is why Bush holds those leukemia marathons in her honor ever year.
/What? He doesn't? What kind of sick...
Anyone else out there get a feeling that Russia has been supporting the insurgents in Iraq?
We keep hearing the Bushites point the finger at Iran but I bet Russia is funding them behind the scenes as payback for the US supporting the "freedom fighters who fought against the old Soviet Union during their war with Afghanistan.

Monsieur is dying his beard in preparation for flying to a funeral tomorrow out east (don't ask), so I'm still up while he hogs the bathroom.
Which is fine, it's nice to be here with fine company such as yourself.

Monsieur is dying his beard
Cut mine off two weeks ago.
It was mostly white while my hair (on top!) isn't at all.

Or, are you talking to the mirror?
aangus, that's how Monsieur is. He's got some grey streaks in his hair, and he dyes that as well.
Hey, I can't say anything--I used to be a real redhead. I've gone completely grey underneath. I'm grateful for better living through chemistry.

If I were there, I'd take a trip up to Bagby hot springs, or to Cannon Beach for a breakfast at Cranky Sue's, followed by a hike over Tillamook Head... Or just a walk up Mt. Tabor.
It's gray and drizzle here too, but the sea is warm. My wife and I just got out of the water, might as well be in it on a day like today
gosh, even CNN is flogging Messiah Obama's "fuck small-town America and especially small-town Pennsylvania" remarks....
Could the chocolate be melting?
I'm looking forward to Obama's inaugural speech. It will probably be the most quoted political literature since the Gettysburg Address.
DF:
Dubrovnik's a romantic place, as befits your Obama dream...in the real world, he's toast.
When actually faced with four more years of Bush-league disasters -- I think you'll find you've spoken too soon.
Your "real world" is the real world of 50 years ago.
GodDamnAmerica Obama, in fey, twee, decadent San Francisco, slams his inferiors in small-town Pennsylvania..
He wasn't in San Francisco, and didn't say "God Damn America" -- but keep telling your idiotic lies.
...a political image Billary couldn't imagine until Messiah Obama dropped it in their lap...
Lubyanka flails in its repugnant racism, trolling away.
great campaign judgement!
I don't see any candidates racing to you for advice, lub.
Messiah Obama's Nixon Moment: I am not an elitist!
Messiah Lubyanka's Troll Moment: I am a proud racist!
CNN is flogging Messiah Obama's anti-small-town-America comments up the effing flagpole!
Is this beauty or what?
No, it's the middle of the night going into the weekend, and only fevered race-haters like you are watching CNN.
CNN:
Messiah Obama: "fuck those people who arere religious, those who believe in gun rights, those who have problems with illegal immigration, and those people who aren't totally aboard free trade...
Fuck em all!"
You go, GodDamnAmerica Obama-Dude!
On the other hand, an inaugural speech by a 70-year-old Elmer Fudd would also have its unique entertainment value.
Quoting people requires actually correctly repeating what they say -- not what you imagine they say.
Obama to San Francisco's fey, twee, decadent Dimocrats:
"Fuck America's small towns--they're all a bunch of knuckle-dragging imbeciles, beneath, really beneath our contempt...."
I'm more amused by Bill Clinton totally mis-stating the truth of Hillary's Tuzla gaffe, and then blaminh his lies on the press.
Obama was not in San Francisco; try again, dimwit.
plant:
he could be on Planet Zarcon, numbnuts, and it wouldn't matter, you twat
Lub: when you make up lies and attribute them to people, it makes YOU look Stupid.
Only a deluded mind like yours would consider such thoughts insightful. Get some sleep, you've got a full life of subhuman intelligence ahead of you.
climb out of your greasy basement, plant, and turn on a television
Not in a basement, nothing on telly at the moment.
Messiah Obama has just lost whatever chance he had at the Dimocrat nomination...
somehow it's always surprising to head-up-their-ass "progressives" that America has common sense!
How horrible!
Messiah Obama has just lost whatever chance he had at the Dimocrat nomination...
No, outraged imbeciles such as yourself would like this to be true, but the delegate count has not changed.
Messiah Hussein Obama: Kerry without bogus Vietnam heroics?
I just watched Ralph Nader on C-SPAN and as much as people may despise him he sure takes both parties to task.
He spoke the truth about the Bush administration lying us into war, how they have defiantely trampled on the constitution and obstructed justice.
He ripped on senators and congressman from both parties for not upholding their oaths of office, for enabling President Bush and then ripped on the Democrats for taking impeachment off of the table and for also tabling senator Feingold censure of Bush.
It would be nice to hear either Barack or Hillary speak out as boldly as Nader does.
Lubyanka: Illiterate Fantasy Novelist?
Lubyanko at least Kerry had the courage to fight for his country unlike the two pathetic cowards Bush and Cheney.
It would be nice to hear either Barack or Hillary speak out as boldly as Nader does.
It would be nice if anything Nader said made any difference, but it doesn't.
Messiah Obama:
Insulted small-town America in a haughty, condescending way...
See the republicans love Insane McCain because he wants our troops to stay in Iraq for 100 years. He likes to say how we've had troops stationed in South Korea, Japan and Germany for 50-60 years but he doesn't say that the troops over in those countries aren't being shot at or blown up each and every day like in Iraq.
Obama gave his opinion on what motivates many rural voters. He didn't suck up to them like Lubyanka would have.
Dis-arm McCain by referencing the costs of Dumbya's Great Blunder-War and how it prevents doing anything needful at home.
John "Insane" McCain, the man who once told Bill O'Lielly that our troops aren't trained to protect our own borders and yet they are trained to protect Iraq's border and South Korea's border.
Yep this is the idiot we want in the Whitehouse. Being a POW and 20,000 feet above a battle field does not make one a military or war expert.
Messiah Barack Hussein Obama:
In fey, twee, decadent San Francisco, making a comic mistake amid the Chardonnay-swilling, smug leftie twats...
..a thing of beauty!!!
At HuffPo read how McCain said something very similar to Obama's remarks about rural voters.
In fey, twee, decadent San Francisco,
THIS IS A LIE. Start with at least one true statement.
Obama is the only candidate who gives hope to all of us have nots. He may not deliver on half of what he promises but even half is 100 times better then what the republicans could ever offer America, unless of course you are one of the elite 1%, a corporation, a CEO, a defense contractor or Al Qaida.
plant:
Obama's fraudulence is out of the bag, asshole...
And our troll can't be bothered with even correctly placing the remarks he claims are so beautiful.
Pathetic.
Lube: your stupidity and fabulism are out of the bag.
Reichwing cowards love to drape themselves in the American flag and spout their phony patriotism.
They continue to support the dumbass in the Whitehouse even though he has destroyed our economy, weakened our military, made more enemies. The reichwingers are a lot like the people of Germany circa the 1930's.
Billary is in the process of driving Messiah Hussein Obama's small-town-values-hating comments up Messiah Hussein Obama's black/white ass....
At one time George "Dumbya" Bush thought Iraq was a type of Chevy Camaro.
While John "Insane" McCain in his increasing lapses of reality thinks when someone mentions Al Qaida, they are talking about some Mexican rock band.
morning, all.
The occupied WH has discarded the community service in temporary emergency services, only job training allowed. Taking care of others doesn't count for anything. So indicative of their usual lack of values.

The republican party. The party that in the 80's had the CIA aid, arm and train Osama Bin Laden and the future Al Qaida in their fight against the old Soviet Union.
The republican party that sold chemical weapons to Saddam Hussein who then used them on his own people and on Iranians.
FUCK THE REPUBLICANS! THEY EMBOLDEN OUR FUTURE ENEMIES!
The republican party should have a motto that says "In war we trust"

Hillary has her own problems, and driving up Obama's negatives hasn't worked well for her thus far.
Republicans claim they are against abortion and yet for six years they were the majority in both the house and senate, had a republican president and a right leaning supreme court so why didn't they pass a bill outlawing abortion if they are so against it. They had the numbers to do it.
Why do republicans hate America, our soldiers, peace and our constitution?
Karl Rove told them to.
A Federal Law banning abortion would require a Constitutional Amendment, which would have to pass 38 State Legislatures. It wasn't ever a sure thing.
Hi, V4VA, always fascinating that some life forms crawl around at night - and in the day sometimes - showing that they have only this spittle to offer. Sad.
Of course, some of them are on the editorial staff at WaPo.
I always wonder, "Whose minds do they think they're changing with all this lame dreck?"
why didn't they pass a bill outlawing abortion if they are so against it. They had the numbers to do it.
American Psycho
What would they have to sloganize if they actually did something? which as plantsman points out, requires a constitutional amendment, in addition to being more intrusive than any law we have so far. I don't know that if it came to actually dictating what treatment a woman and her doctor had to choose, even the utmost wingiest of right wingers wouldn't be appalled.
Of course, some of them are on the editorial staff at WaPo.

We're doing the garage sale thing again today.
Oh, joy.
Oh, WaPo is at its ethical basement level today. an editorial promoting mandatory arbitration in contracts!
my comment:
"Mandatory arbitration substitutes for proper application of the Rule of Law. Inserting it into contracts is business's way of absolving itself when it violates consumer rights, or passes a defective product off onto a buyer. The laws should apply, and all contracts should provide the basis for enforcement. There is no virtue in cheating, and business should not be allowed to do it, on the basis that it saves time and money. This editorial is another disgrace to basic standards of decency, fairness, and the public good."

Prescott Bush: Guilty of doing business with Nazi Germany during WWII and also part of a plan to over throw FDR and put a fascist regime in charge of our government.
George HW. Bush: Bailed out of his bomber during WWII leaving his fellow crew to die. Part of the CIA rogue agents that assassinated JFK. Iran/Contra. Had a hand in CIA drug running. Involved with a child prostitution ring in the DC area.
George W. Bush: AWOL during his National Guard Duty. Known boozer and coke head. Screwed shareholders of Harken Oil out of millions of dollars. Used eminent domain to get a baseball stadium built. Allowed Enron to happen. Allowed or was in on 9/11.
Marvin Bush: Security firm was in charge of security at the WTC pre 9/11. Later was hired by Houston Insurance firm that had a policy with the owner of the WTC.
Neil Bush: Made millions of dollars at US taxpayers expense in the 1980's Silverado S&L banking scandal.
Jeb Bush: Involved in a huge healthcare scam where he made millions of dollars along with his foreign partner. Helped rig the 2000 presidential elections in Florida.

There really is an undercurrent of rage with people realizing that not only have they not done well under rethugs, but every opportunity to improve their lot seems to be in the process of being eliminated. They're watching their children lose ground even if they do have a college education.
ql, frankly, if it weren't for a collection of very advantageous circumstances, I would like Diane be working just to keep going. I have great sympathy for anyone who is struggling, sometimes it was touch and go for me even with my great degree - and mostly because I left a pretty good situation to come out here so my elderly psychotic mom wouldn't have to fend for herself. This country needs public service returned to gov't.

Wow, Ruth! It's currently warmer here in NW Oregon
(54℉ than it is in North TX. That almost never happens.
Mr. ql had a full scholarship to college when he was 16. He dropped out and ran away to NYC. After a few false starts he wound up becoming a systems engineer earning six figures. He was instrumental in writing the first banking program for Citibank back in the seventies. The last few years he was working he started to lose ground. One place laid him off but kept the "guest worker" from Eastern Europe. This guy was forced to take a 20% cut in pay or face lay off as well. And of course if he were to be laid off he would have had to return to his home country, something he didn't want to do. It has only gotten worse.
It has only gotten worse.

"productivity" = doing lots more than one job for one often inadequate salary. Yes, my fellow commuters from TI were being subjected to the same stuff, when I was going back and forth to Dallas.

ql -- it sure has gotten worse.
and you have a long, sad tale of woe in your inbox
V4VA I do hope that long sad tale isn't about a mistaken interpretation of something? Am hoping for you.
One of my oldest friends (Canadian citizen) just spent a week in Cuba. She was lamenting the poverty and how hard people have to work: six days a week with a week of vacation (at the resort where she stayed).
I said, uh, Maureen, that's not particularly unusual in the US. People are working two and three jobs to keep their heads above water (and still sinking); a lot of them never get to take a vacation.
Ruth sadly, yes. It'll be resolved the right way or there will be legal action.
