Just because a small town can't have the same circulation list as the LOC does it mean they shouldn't even try?
If you can get your head out of your ass regarding what a library "should" be, then you'll realize this isn't a bad idea. Instead of simply offering oodles of books, the vast majority of which will likely never be touched, maybe we should focus on providing spaces that help people access, share and discuss information/literature? Kind of like study hall but for willing adults (and I suppose eager children).
Why have a building? Well, maybe because it's worth having a place like that that doesn't require you to buy a latte every hour.

I know it's difficult to admit it when you've backed a stinker, Strangerfolk, but you need to cut this dried up turd out of your asshairs and move on.

dak7e commented on Washington GOPers Blame National Party for McKenna's Loss.
Honestly... I don't think this was so much an issue over policies. It seemed to me McKenna was doing what he could to distance himself from some of his previous, more right-wing/idiotic statements and like would've tacked much more to the middle as a governor.
I think he really lost because he acted like a little bitch. In the debates and in his commercials. A whiney little bitch. Compare that to Inslee's lovable lug image, and there ya go.

So, Phoebe, rather than attempting to answer or refute Ricks' accusations, you feel the right approach is to shut down the offending voice and pretend like the whole thing never happened.
How very republican of you.

dak7e commented on Boeing Said It Will Deny Equal Pension Benefits to Married Gay Couples.
Boeing has one sh*tty union negotiator. Just how much money are we talking about in granting SS survivor benefits? Likely not even a rounding error when one looks at the big picture. But by running his mouth off like this he just handed the union folks one PR golden ticket.
Unless hes out of cellphone range. I'm guessing this idiot negotiator is not going to have the best holiday weekend.

Hey, Gay Dude for Romney -
I know we're all planning our election night activities and heard about this promotion they're having at Steamworks exclusively for people like you. For just $5, they blindfold you, throw you over a bench and f*ck you with a three inch dildo. Since you clearly love to get screwed by something unpleasant, I thought this would be right up your alley.

dak7e commented on Obama's Handling of Sandy Receiving Very Positive Reviews.
as the pathetic responses in 3 and 9 indicate, this situation has worked out very well for Obama. The incumbent looks great by doing what he should do and doing it well. Romney is neutered because negative attack ads (which are the only thing he has) just won't work right now.
Add in how this NECC/Meningitis thing has suddenly started to sink its claws into Romney, and I think this momentum deadlock will start shifting back to Obama just when it needs to.

And yeah, this is basically just a slightly redone version of a library. They've just dropped physical books... and I know Constant's gonna hate this, but those are rapidly becoming an expensive vestigial tail many localities can't afford to hold on to.
