Linketies and Life
*grump* Day three of this migraine. Storms rolling in and out, temperature shifts, all the stuff that normally sets me off. At work, but wearing sunglasses. I am so cool. NL has been hugely patient with keeping me company while I'm braindead and grumpy, and has now finished watching Firefly in the process of waiting through another of my naps. Also, forgot to mention that I finally finished Six Feet Under earlier this week; I really enjoyed it a lot, although I found the later Nate story arcs less interesting and believable than those of the other characters. Still, highly recommended (if there's anyone on the planet left to recommend them to).
Finally got back to using Google Reader, thanks to the new phone. Have a giant pile of linketies as a result. Here goes...

Top MoveOn leaders / executives are all over national television speaking for the movement. fully appreciate the help and support of MoveOn, but the MSM is clearly using them as the spokespeople for OWS. This is an blatant attempt to fracture the 99% into a Democratic Party organization.
Well, no, you're not the 53%

OK, I don't really know what xojane is, but holy shit, should this woman NOT be a health editor/director/writer. Yikes.
Related: The (Possibly) Last Thing I'll Say About That Post (a response from another editor about the post) -- I still think it was extremely poor judgment to post this as an official piece in a health section. As a personal blog post, fine. I'd still wince and sigh, but I'd be ok with it. But as it was presented? No. Really not helpful to anyone.
More: One woman is a total disaster; therefore, all women are total disasters -- Well, that pretty much summed up my feelings on the matter.

She has voted in every election since the 1930s (except in the 1960 Kennedy/Nixon race, as she had moved too close to Election Day to have time to update her registration), but has now been disenfranchised by voter suppression laws Republicans are pursuing because they can't win on a fair playing field.
