– T-minus 10 minutes to #HCRmageddon. Kevin Drum breaks down what it will mean if the Supreme Court overturns Obamacare. (via motherjones) Obviously, this decision defines the rest of the day. Think we’ll see a surprise? (via shortformblog)

shortformblog:
According to Robert Costa, Team Romney is formally vetting Ryan, and the Wisconsin Republican has already submitted the requisite paperwork to the campaign for consideration as Romney’s running mate. Ryan, who seemed to give some light consideration to a run at the presidency this year before ultimately deciding to stay in the House, is a dream choice in the eyes of...
digitalsocrates asked: I think an important distinction you have to make when you are trying to make devil's advocate arguments (especially in cases of oppression) is to not imply guilt on the victim's part. You can criticize Brown for making some debatably inappropriate comments, but make the argument separate from the Speaker's actions. Don't imply that her comments made banning her (or Barb Byrum)...
digitalsocrates asked: I gotta say that your argument reeks of many kinds of arguments that derail and undermine feminist arguments. If I had to take a guess her comment was probably not out of line with what many male legislatures say regularly, and they wouldn't have faced the same kind of repercussions.

“hungryghoast replied to your quote: hungryghoast replied to your post: ok so...”
– Just calling it like I see it. It’s noble and inherently American to spit in the face of the evil-doer with all the power. It just doesn’t win for you in the short term.
The good thing is that actions like this actually will come back to bite the Michigan republicans right in the ass...
“hungryghoast replied to your post: ok so this Michigan Vagina thing.

– I understand anger and frustration, especially in Michigan’s especially egregious congressional hearings which have been proven to be largely a farce since the republicans have taken over. I get why any democrat in that situation would be furious. I am also furious that goverment can function...
ok so this Michigan Vagina thing.
I am very much against the idea that this woman couldn’t say the word vagina, and I absolutely think that this is just a way for the republican representatives to silence a democrat. I would bet a clean hundo it is just an excuse for them to jump on.
but also
The comment she made did actually lack some decorum. Not because she said Vagina, but because she made a comment about her...

am I emotionally distressed about returning to work.

Hahaha. It almost looks like people these days are too tightly wound to safely do this kind of thing anymore. A few of those people had minor panic attacks.

In a letter sent tonight, Florida Governor Rick Scott said the state will continue to purge registered voters from the rolls despite the Department of Justice’s warning that the effort is illegal. The Miami Herald reports, “the letter all but dares the Justice Department to sue Florida for allegedly violating the 1965 Voting Rights Act and the 1993 National...

Last week I finally started reading Game of Thrones
I generally wait for a series to finish before I start into it, because I have PROBLEMS with waiting. I waited until Harry Potter was complete before starting in. I watched all of Evangelion (with movies) in one Massive sitting.
So I am titlated with the reading and mad at myself for not holding out. It is a complex feeling, much like that...
My job went supernova
I took over a new roll at my job in May and have been doing double work since then, leaving almost nill time for tumbling. I think I’ve finally got my time under quasi control.
Coming back to tumblr is like sweet sugary candy…that argues with you about politics!
