howeveraz, I think my degree did me well, I took a bunch of humanities and history, geology major, math minor. I think the whole package was a great deal.

I think Fareed Zakaria's Washington Post column this week is the ultimate condensation of why Trump is fundamentally unacceptable, period, regardless of whether you are liberal, conservative, Democrat, Republican or an Alsatian dog for fuck's sake. Nothing we haven't mentioned, sure, but a great closing argument as we approach a giant "...phew!" or the arrival of the Four Horsemen.

I want to know Trump's position on coupons. Does he believe in savings or does he think consumers should be paying full price. Hillary could win the election if Trump promised to abolish coupons.

go look at what happened to "trump university" and there's your answer |

but it also gives you a technical ability-- you can communicate with engineers, business executives, supplies, anyone really--- all the while sounding reasonable and coherent and not like someone who can't parse a sentence. note that i've said i'm for a SKILLED workforce. the ones who are feeling the pain the hardest right now are the high school dropouts, the functional illiterates, the ones who don't know how to operate a computer, can't make a basic worksheet, read a technical manual, follow procedures, etc. etc. that shit needs to end. the only way forward is, obviously, education--but an education has to enable a graduate to find gainful employment in their field of studies, not just give them a well rounded mind or whatever. starbucks has only so much room for people with a phd in cultural studies or critical theory or whatever the shit. i mean, yes, your future is your own responsibility, but the universities have been doing a fucking con job by promising every born sucker a career in academia and then giving them an adjunct job for $2000 per course. |
Quote:
And that's high-end for adjunt work, from my experience. A community college in my area pays something like $500 a credit. And 75% of their classes are 3 credits or less (they have an equivalency system for transferring students, but the adjunct instructors get raped. And most do a shit job because of it.) |
Lurching violently between not caring (there are other things going on in everyone's life) and shitting bricks.
Anyone else? |

i'm more calm since the latest polls, and the dipshit's announcement yesterday (was it yesterday? or saturday? i've lost track, lucky for me), but still miles to go etc etc IT AIN'T OVER TILL IT'S OVER or en la puerta del horno se quema el pan keep punching |
Adios, motherfuckers. The country is about to tell you to fuck off. And when next Tuesday is over, crawl back to your deplorable lives, eat shit, and disappear

just heard HRC speaking in michigan via washington post stream
okay, she's not supercharismatic like bill, that's for sure. she speaks in long complex sentences. she'd have a hard time being a celebrity. she's never going to be an entertainer. but fuck, i like what she's saying. she's got a good program-- just heard the last part of wages and education and student debt. it makes good policy sense and she can make it happen. go hillary go! win this one! LOVE TRUMPS HATE |

Also, she is literally the most qualified person for the position since Lyndon Fucking Johnson. She was passionate about universal health care in the U.S. long before it was cool... before the then-uncorrupted Affordable Care Act was even a twinkle in a young Barack Obama's eye. She has a proven track record of effectively getting legislation passed from her tenure in the senate. She's been the freaking First Lady, a two-term senator, and the US Secretary of State for fuck's sake. That sentence alone should be more than enough to convince any Dems on the edge that she's worth a vote to beat down Trump. No, she doesn't play the saxophone or sing. She looks a bit like my mother in more expensive clothes, and my mom had a HELL of a time while in academia getting her ideas across to a 95% male college board. I too am absolutely rooting for her, and I hope the rest of the nation does the same, because she's stepping into an important seat at an important time. She and Trump were both in MI today. Apparently it's become an anyone's guess kind of state. It's blue, but polling suggests it could flip. |
Ps I get to stay up until fucking forever tomorrow reporting results as they come in. I'm nothing close to a big-shot, so I'll be flllowing county and district data and phoning county commissioners and the like, but still... I'll be on call for the big meaty shit if anyone gets behind or calls in sick.
I'm pretty much planning on it being the most stressful night of my working life. And yes, I will be working under the influence of prescription anti-anxiety medications. |

of course you like, she's spent millions of dollars on marketers and psychologists to fine tune the program so you'll love it. And then Katy Perry comes out with her big satanic tits to make you dribble a bit. |

it's the satanic tits, i tell you what. they'll make me do anything. like, agree with policies i favor, and other total nonsense. ![]() BELIEVE ME. BELIEVE ME. BELIEVE ME. |
If no Bradley effect, should be all over. The misogyny factor might be a big thing, though. Sure as fuck hope not. We delivered paella and spinach/pear salad to our volunteers yesterday, there were a LOT of them, for our little burg of less than 150 thousand looked like 60 people there working the phones

just voted. it was more crowded than usual. i've been voting every election there for four years and never seen it so crowded. unfortunately i live in a swing state and had to vote clinton instead of stein (who honestly i wasn't thrilled with either). in 2000 i planned on voting nader, but when i got the booth a panic of what that idiot w bush presidency look like crossed my mind. i couldn't have known how bad his presidency would be, but i voted gore then. this election is way more important than that race.
AND MORE IMPORTANTLY. supposedly if you show your "i voted" sticker you can get a free taco from taco bell and a free coffee from starbucks. |
