Savage Love Letter of the Day.
Straight, normal, teenage girls as well as budding lesbians have been making out with other teenage girls at sleepovers since time began. Literally. Scientists just found fossilized teenage neanderthal girls in sapphic embrace surrounded by neolithic pizza boxes and wrapped in bear-skin snuggies.
MOM needs to stop snooping and leave the kids alone.

Who Said It?.
I could not find a link to read the letter in it's entirety. I'm not suggesting that the quoted paragraph is "out of context," just that all this clicking on the internet tires me and I still haven't seen the letter itself.

From the Desk of Tom Carr.
If the city's appeal reduces the award by half, then the city will still pay out exactly $5 million, but about $6 million less would be coming into the city's economy, from the insurance companies, and by way of the injured firefighter's account.

Stolen Presidency.
Careful, Charles. Claims of a stolen election and false military claims will get you identified as a conspiracy theorist. Right along with Dan Rather's claims of a dodgy military service record. The Stranger wouldn't want to throw their lot in with those who believe that actual torture absent due process is one mark of totalitarianism, now would they.
Got to be sure it is all even handed in politics. They call Obama a Hitler-like figure, but the others called Bush a Hitler-like figure. He said / she said. Just politics. Nothing to see here.
Move along kids, just politics. People who see a difference are "conspiracy theorists." And we have padded rooms waiting for those sorts.

Lunchtime Quickie.
Thank god for the internets so we can watch these entertainments from the security of our gated suburbs, and judge them.
Maybe someday, far, far in future, we will be able to view rage as a symptom of stress and powerlessness; an explosion of adrenaline in body evolved to either fight or flee, instead of returning politely to a cubicle when the lunch break time expires even if the food has not come yet.

Christian Science Monitor: Facebook poll on killing Obama sign of antigovernment anger

It should be pointed out that when many, many people actively promote the assassination of a person, as was the case with Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr, and then one person does it, that is not considered a conspiracy. Just a lone gunman.
We don't have conspiracies in the US. Just those, crazy, crazy conspiracy theorists.
And an abundance of lone gunmen.

There's a Bad Moon on the Rise.
There is no Islamic conspiracy, because there is no such thing as a conspiracy. If you believe in conspiracies, then you are insane. Price fixing does not exist. The Mafia is a myth. OPEC is not a cartel.

It's Way Too Early....
If you are un-aware of the issues around recovery from childhood abuse, sexual abuse, and dysfuctional families, and let me assure you that nearly all of you are un-aware, then this is an important learning opportunity.
It not like this is statistically so unusual that nobody you know, or are related to, could be affected by it.
