Margaret Atwood was a fucking prophet.

I have never worked at an office where this would not apply.

I remember it like it was yesterday, we all gathered around the Picture Box and prayed.

In the medical field you probably become desensitized quickly and aren’t always associating an ailment or procedure with an actual person who has dignity...even though that precisely what you should be doing (patients = human beings =\= fodder).

“I was taught to speak funny and have a big stick, and it works.”

Big talk, small stalk

Anderson Cooper was on fire last night! I hope more journalists will take his cue and follow up with the nonsense that Trump and Cruz spout all the time. The Washington Post’s The Fix is starting to do it, but many journos still feel the need to appear “neutral” when they really just need to be impartial.

I feel like I’m living in a perpetual Twilight Zone episode. Every day I have an increasing sense of dread and dismay coupled with a vague feeling that I must be dreaming.

Seriously thank you for saying that. This whole pure white dove shit about Bernie is bat shit. You can’t be in politics and be a pure white dove.
