he right wing fanaticista bloggers and lesser rightwing journalists are having a field day regarding the blogosphere's disappointment with Obama's appointment of hawks to his cabinet. Well, fuck them. I mean, all of them. If Obama wants to ignore those who got him to where he is now, more power to him. Of course, he is going to go to the center. Of course, he is going to acquiesce to the right to try to slowly build a strong, fair, leftward government. It's going to take time. Maybe lots of time. I don't agree with his sudden centrist stance. Esp. Billary in charge of a resurgent hawkish foreign policy. But, I am patient. An intelligent, articulate person is in charge now. And the right is all atwitter. The Goldbergs, Malkins, Ericksons are waving their hankies, overcome with the vapors. Let the losers sulk and let us celebrate that we have lost a little lately while they have lost ALL for a long time to come.

Diff was, Safeway was about the same size as it competitors. Walmart comes in as the giant bully. It doesn't take on those in its weight class, though other big box stores might give it a run in limited markets.
I don't see Walmart failing even if it has to retract a bit.

I just resented them because I was double majoring in a physical science and math, had my share of difficult classes. When I went up campus to take my distribution credits (English, history, etc) I often got better grades than the ones who were majoring and it pissed them off. But they didn't get it - I was majoring in stuff that was hard, the other stuff just didn't seem that challenging. History was more so, but the professors I had didn't seem very serious about it.

Sconset-- The hospital will have an office ("patient financial services" or "patient advocacy" or somesuch) that will help to fight the insurance company on your behalf. I'd suggest that you contact them and arrange for the surgery. If the insurance battle should not be won, any hospital will arrange a payment schedule afterwards, even if it's $50/month on a bil of $18k.
Take care of yourself, dear one.

I have an odd comment (for a writer) this evening.
Someone mentioned OSU and the easy courses that "Used" to be given to football players.
James Thurber has a wonderful story about being in class with a football player. The guy - with a Polish surname - could not seem to answer questions like: name three types of transportation.
The entire student body ended up imitating planes, trains, and trucks and the football player did not make the connection.
I was looking for the story to post an excerpt here but this material is still under copyright. Why?
Thurber has been dead for years. His books are out of print - mostly. Why not have his legacy on the web for people to cite and enjoy?
I am in favor of this: I think the more people who read what I write, the better I like it.
Certainly writers need to be paid but the system we have now fucking sucks big time.

A young woman's charm is her capital. She must invest it wisely rather than squander it.
This requires that she make marriage and family her primary focus. Otherwise her romantic and maternal instincts will be frustrated, and she will be alone and unhappy.
A young woman's beauty reflects her physical and spiritual innocence. Men find innocence very attractive; it balances them emotionally and spiritually. A woman who is hard and cynical is not attractive to men.

A young woman must consecrate her innocence for the man whom she will eventually love and marry. Her thoughts should be focused on him and on her future children. She should prepare herself to be worthy to become a wife and mother.
There is no more beautiful sight than a young mother looking after her children. The other day I saw a tall lithe young woman in the park playing with twin daughters on the swings.

This is for Cali, if he or perhaps she is interested in facts.
Which I doubt.
This is a NY Times Op-Ed from 23 March 2006, by a woman who is an admissions officer at Kenyon College. The piece is entitled "To All the Girls I've Rejected".
She felt a little guilty about turning down better qualified girls to make room for guys.
If the colleges admitted according to talent, they would be 60-40 or more women.

Sexual dissipation is not healthy for males either. It makes them disrespect women. I advise my 17-year-old son to seek a genuine relationship rather than casual sex. "Hooking up" is degrading, distracting, hurtful and generally unsatisfying. We are looking for more than sexual release.
As I've said, women should get married and have children before going to university. (University, especially the Arts, will poison their minds with Feminist dogma.) They should marry older guys who are beginning their careers.

Found a really good sight (depending on where you live) for local "best of" places to eat, shop, experience, etc.
As the current economic crisis takes hold of the holiday season, many people find themselves standing in lines they thought they'd never stand in, waiting for someone to provide the essentials for their families.
On Friday, several hundred of them waited outside the Salvation Army on Tuolumne Street to receive a mostly empty box of food for Thanksgiving. Nearly 200 who applied for the food didn't make the cut.
"How can we help them if we don't have the resources?" said Salvation Army Maj. Linda Rodriguez.
Each year the Salvation Army passes out boxes of food to families for Thanksgiving. Usually packed with all of the holiday trimmings, this year's boxes contained only eight cans of vegetables and soup, a box of stuffing, one of mashed potatoes and one of macaroni and cheese. The boxes also came with $10 gift certificates to buy a turkey at a local grocery store.
The Salvation Army received 462 applications to receive one of the 300 packages.
"Our people who donated are now starting to be our clients," Rodriguez said.
And I'll bet anything your 17 year old hates you and loves meth.

Question for some ladies here - see, the girlfriend won't talk to me after some seriously fun horseplay last night. How loud does it have to be before she seriously gets to call it "rape?" "No" has always been a part of our horseplay vocabulary (a little struggling makes it all the funner) so what the hell is she freaking out about? Now she mopes around the house giving me scared looks and she won't let the other guys come over to the house again. They think she's overreacting too, although one guy told his girlfriend (she walked in on us) and she's taking my girlfriend's side. So is she overreacting, or does she have a point? I think we should talk it out.

"People are waiting. They need help. They need jobs" Give us a break
from your mindless, lazy, socialist opinions. Need help? How about
getting up EARLY in the morning and getting a job of hard work. If you
can't support your children without begging for public assistance then
DON'T HAVE THEM. What a country...
Except that if you go to work early in the morning you are a bitch who leaves her children in soulless daycare all day long and so on. It's a funny game, that blame game. It has no end.

Just as a wrap-up on the way out the door, my current reading, by some coincidence, is The GOD Delusion by Richard Dawkins.
Dunno that I buy his line entirely, but I'm willing to dig into it. Somehow, seeing that Cali never answered the West Wing post or mine on the last thread regarding other Bible commandments like the ones about
shrimp and sending everyone with a discharge outside camp, I doubt that he's up to doing the same.

Feminism is sin. It is wrong because it is a rebellion against authority. Feminism is not about women's rights, nor equality, it's about rebellion against God's Word. What feminists are really saying is, "We don't believe the Bible is God's Word and we absolutely REFUSE to allow men to have exclusive authority."

Well, this is the way the rightards think: poor women who earn little money in shit jobs with no benefits need to go out and work.

Regarding the daycare bit: I heard on NPR a while back about a program where the big honchos in some city in the Southeast were given a role-playing session as a single mother who needed to get a check cashed before catching the bus to work. Opened their eyes, per the report. Not so damned easy when the bus doesn't run and the banks won't cash your check because you don't seem to have the right proof of residence and can't afford a checking account and other such shit.

Was trying to think of a better description than "not worth a shit", after I posted, and that word indeed came to mind. He's a prime example of why SF is called the literature of ideas--and sometimes fuckall else. Frankly, I'd prefer a writer who just totally sucked. Much easier to put down (or throw out the window) than someone who has a neat idea, and just seems to pick words at random for a prose style, and lacks the real-world knowledge to make his story believable.

I remember liking Trix when I was, oh, maybe 8 or 9 years old; now, at 46, it was just...yeesh, it was like eating a bowl of candy. Candy that contains no real, actual food, but is instead refined out of petroleum or something. Hideous stuff.
