Rudeness confounds me...
So…I’m confused. I just commented on a video that Felicia Day posted on Google +, and a commenter came along after me and said “ no offense…but apparently what I want in a stream and what Felicia will put in a stream are very different things. Bye bye.”
It upset me so much, I deleted my comment. Probably because I’ve dealt with this phenomenon a few times...

KOALAS :((((((((((
I reblogged this earlier from my phone and couldn’t see the date on the picture was from 2009. Googled it and discovered the story is, in fact, two years old. Just an FYI update, folks. I still...

Am I happy with...

To be clear, my gut reaction is more or less a gag reflex. I’m sure I will catch flak for this,…
This is a great blog, and I agree 100%.

In fact, the whole poll (go read it) shows positive favorables for Democratic positions in this last debate, not that that made a damn bit of difference to anyone involved.
