This will be therapeutic, I think. I had a colossally bad day at work yesterday which resulted in a tension migraine which therefore further resulted in unsatisfactory sleep. I am now sufficiently cranky

1-5) GRRRRRRRR. That's as articulate as I can get on those, I'm sorry.

6) What, you mean Wikipedia might not be the be-all and end-all of fact sourcing? Pish.

7) Yeah. I'm not sure which is more galling: The pick itself, or that it's having its intended effect upon the election drama.

8) Desensitization, or tool of adding sensationalism to stuff that shouldn't be quite so sensational? Either way: Agreed 100%.

9-10) It's funny how they had that number sitting in their collective hip pocket, ready to slap down on the table, isn't it? Oh wait... no, it isn't funny. *sigh*

11-14) Can't help you there, sorry. But I can appreciate the frustration.

15) A week and then some, and they won't let you have ANY time off in November? BASTARDS.

16) Ugh. My sympathy, as I was there very, very recently.

I can't take time off then because I work for the media and a) there's an election, and b) there's sweeps. So I understand the reasoning, but it's still a bummer.

We're all required to work overtime too, which kind of stinks because I'm salaried... so I don't get extra dough, but I just bank more PTO. Seriously, I might be able to take off the entire month of December! lol

I just don't know why it doesn't strike any of them as odd...

They talk about propaganda all the time, but is this not exactly what they preach against?

Actually, a treasury employee has been quoted admitting that 700 billion wasn't decided on by math, they just wanted to use "a really big number."

Fuck them.

[mattador]

Yeah.
