data entry returned it to me with a post-it reading MODEL CITIZEN OF THE YEAR AWARD stuck to it. i love my job.
ETA: this guy got in a car wreck and endangered the lives of everyone on the same road as him, in case you were thinking of being all HOW DARE YOU JUDGE ETC. ETC. i feel pretty comfortable judging this guy.

i hope this person isn’t currently looking for a job, because that would make a less than favorable impression on a potential employer. also, they’re not a teenager. they’re 2 years older than me. what are you, cheech?

i want to add some to my netflix queue. so far i have:
space mutiny
the final sacrifice
hobgoblins
i used to like joel better than mike, but i suspect that if i watched it again i wouldn’t have a preference.
ETA: and don’t say manos: the hands of fate, because that movie is so mind-numbingly terrible that not even those guys can liven it up.

i say it’s not when did we lose our civility, but when did we develop such thin skins and the complete inability to handle being told we’re incorrect about something? when i firmly (but without nastiness) and with unimpeachable logic demolish whatever point you’re attempting to make, and you have a total meltdown, the flaw lies in your character. not mine.

What The Definition Of “Marriage” Is of the Day: Speaking out for the first time since divorcing Newt Gingrich in 1999, the presidential candidate’s second wife Marianne revealed to ABC News’s Brian Ross that Gingrich asked her for an open marriage after coming clean on his six-year affair with then-aide, now-third-wife Callista.

dear medicaid recipients of louisiana:
medicaid money doesn’t just fall from the sky whenever you go to the hospital. it comes from somewhere, and there’s a finite amount of it. so when i call you because you were involved in an auto accident and i want to know where to send your bill (state farm, us agencies, etc.), don’t scream and yell at me to file your bill with medicaid. when there’s an auto insurance...

my co-worker has been allowed to talk to her son
the national guard’s explanation is that they are not isolating him to punish him for coming out, but for his own safety. some of the other students are there as an alternative to juvie, and they don’t know how they will react. on one hand, this is logical. on the other, is your program so out of control that you can’t stop students from beating each other up? there is no...

he was supposed to be graduating from it in march with his GED and college assistance. he came out as gay to his unit yesterday. the national guard’s reaction to this is to lock him in a room by himself, not let him use the latrine when anyone else is in it, and hold him incommunicado from his family. apparently no one told them that DADT has ended. my co-worker is going to get him out as...

Ron Paul Atreides 2012! The Spice Will Flow!
But seriously, yeah Ron Paul attracts mid-twenties men with no concept of how the real world works but believe that their misunderstanding is, in fact, some form of superunderstanding. That kind of delusion is very prevalent among the most hardcore of nerds.

THE INTERNET IS AMAZING
awesome-everyday:
My friend, Marianna gave me a Pizza Hut gift card for my birthday/new year’s/because she’s awesome.
We have never met face-to-face but she is my internet BFF. I mean, the woman knows me well enough to give me snacks over anything else.
So this iBFF relationship created some super good vibes, purely over the phone and via the interwebs.
Then I ordered the pizza on the...
