the fix is in.

As most in this thread have deduced, I'm fairly positive that ALEC is quickly renaming itself and calculating methods of improved secrecy.

More war on Women (KLBJ News Radio, Austin)

Hi Everybody, I was driving around today and switched over to KLBJ 590 while the TODD & DON show was in progress. They were in the process of riffing on Team Obama's "Julia" story, and in no uncertain terms said that single mothers and women who have sex out of wedlock are WHORES and HOOKERS. Please help me spread this info, and let's launch a BOYCOTT against any advertisers. This station is incredibly offensive, completely one-sided, and they still carry Limbaugh as well.

Thanks for the clarification.

I know the importance of losing your idols. It is necessary to discover your own voice.

"I'm not like the others."

I'm not sure I understand

your comment or the writer's assertion. You have to be a raging asshole to appreciate Thompson's writing? Being judgmental is not being nasty? Am I "gonzo folk" if I have a Thompson avatar?

I'm pretty sure "due process" has been erradicated

in the most recent rounds of Patriot Act expansion/reinforcement. Anyone can be permanently eliminated without trial if they are believed to be a threat to "National Security", or if they are an "enemy combatant", domestic or foreign. It's our double-standard law structure selectively hard at work.

I had a nightmare the other night

that I was living with my family inside a concentration camp. Then I woke up and realized that it was true. It's well disguised for many of us, and if you have your TV on, it is easier to be oblivious, but we're all in a giant prison, throttled and controlled economically.

I recently went to BB

to purchase a BluRay/DVD set, because they had the best retail price. At check out, they offered a "replacement program" for the disc for $2 in case the disc got scratched. I'm pretty sure that I laughed out loud. They have been working overtime to alienate their customer base over the years, reducing inventory of cds/dvds, over-complicating their "rewards", lack of knowledge from the employees, etc.

YOU can take control of that.

I did, and now I hardly receive any. Look closely at the mailers and contact those responsible for mailing it out. Tell them to remove your address from their system, even if it is addressed to "Resident". Credit card offers (which I used to receive daily) can also be stopped, look closely at the details of one of the offers for instructions. It's not the fault of the Post Office, they only deliver what is being sent.

I ruined a perfectly good job interview

by pointing out my opposition the "right to work" form (Texas) that I had to sign for the interview process to reach completion. It stated that I could be terminated from employment for any reason, or no reason at all. Why sign it? It has never made any sense to me. I don't agree with it, in principle, and if they can fire you willy nilly anyway, without legal repercussions, they sure don't need my begrudged permission.

I had decided by that point that I didn't want the job anyway. They said (after interviewing and an hour of paperwork) that there would be a drug screen (which I also disagree with in principle). They could have revealed that in the job listing and saved a lot of applicants some time.
