I don’t knowingly support people who don’t support me. Self inflicted debasement is so unattractive.

I take issue with “afterthought”: not even.

A man whose life sometimes depended on it told me, “Never trust a man who can’t control his appetites.”
Weiner is not dumb, he’s out of control. And, I gather, addicted to politics.

Love Lee, have a couple or so of her albums, vinyl. But I read a bio and if it was accurate, Lee was seriously mentally ill. Never knew that.

Not the slightest chance. Not from the Senator from MBNA. And not from the enthralled by and in thrall to Clintons, whose personal fortunes are money machine dependent.

I’m with you. The lesser evils get you to the same destination.

liberalarts commented on the blog post Charlie Crist’s Latest Step in His Political Transformation: Endorsing Marriage Equality
I’d like to see Christ remain as a moderate Republican. Back in my youth, there was such a thing as a liberal Republican. And respectable Republicans did not invade people’s private lives. Christ might be most helpful as a decent Republican moderate. A beacon of sensible, responsible Republicanism, as it were.

Exactly, screwed either way. Colbert-Busch is described as a businessperson and she sounds like one: a somewhat less rightish Republican. And Mark Sanford may be at least as difficult for his putative colleagues as for Democrats, uncooperative and uncompromising.

I don’t take direction from RedState or from you.

liberalarts commented on the blog post So how’d that thing go last night?
I’ve seen Sanford described as uncooperative and fractious, so maybe he’s advantageous in a way the DINO Colbert-Busch wouldn’t have been. I don’t need another ballot line Dem voting the Republican agenda.

I think they know that.

Gail Sheehy’s Passages came out at the end of the 70s and I remember one of her researched findings was that anyone in his mid-fifties who lost a job most likely would never work full time again. It’s almost the only thing I remember from the book. She also found that 80 percent of the “judgment” jobs were only visible in the professional grapevines.
Maybe the grapevines have extended themselves into body shops but the employment fortunes of fifty-ish workers at any level have, at best, not changed.

Is DKos flogging her candidacy? Can’t have enough of those tax cutting, budget balancing Dems. More, more.

The temporary Dark Ages lasted about 500 years. You could be right, tho, as a group of French historians studies the long arcs of history and 600 years, give or take, marks the trajectories. By their reckoning, capitalism is in its death throes.

Concur. YS wrote at NC that she had a conversation with a Harvard classmate who described Obie as a master of the statement of the trivially obvious, along the lines of water is wet. O, like any singly focused, um, entity, is completely attuned to the system and its minutest workings. Just last week, had a conversation with a mosquito control worker about the advantages of single purpose organisms: everything they are is pointed to one goal. Extremely effective–and in the mosquito, no brains, to speak of.
