  1. …”more honest and upright than Rob believes people to be.”

    Over and over again, I am shocked by how petty, bigotted and selfish people are. Hue-mans are consistently revolting.

  2. M4L- so sorry ot hear what happened. I really hope yo don;t get laid off too but whatever happens, I know yo will be fine. But learn to bake brownies just in case. BTW, I made brownies over the holiday and they were very very good. Ask MM.

  3. tiptoe- i will put up my post office on Atlantic Ave. near Nostrand against yours anyday. They define the words “unprofessional” and “horrible service.”

    “Wasder, yes Obama stepped up to the moment and gave a wonderful speech (I assume; I wasn’t able to catch it), but he also doesn’t have an entire fringe trying to use the shooting for their own political purposes.”

    So wrong, lech. The people pointing fingers at Palin are no fringe group, but the idea there is no fringe group trying to blame the President for everything from is too funny. The conservative right has done nothing but act like a fringe group when it comes to Obama.

    As for parallels, Obama has been far more graceful re birthers than Palin has been about the Giffords shooting. The fact that she is so defensive is because she knows she was an ass with that map, and that she contributes to the violent rhetoric that had made politics in this country so toxic. She never accepts responsibility for what she says. A less Presidential human being I can’t imagine.

  4. Tiptoe, I think right now, it is their version of “snow day”. Othertimes, I think you are right. Once, however, somebody put the mail in a little plastic sleeve which holds the sign “USPS Please put mail upstairs in boxes.”
    Not that impressive a group.

  5. “A better comparison is how Obama reacts to “birthers” as compared to how Palin reacted to the people who tried to make hay out of the Giffords shooting. Almost exact parallels IMO.”

    Really? i’d love to hear even one example of how Obama responded to birthers with exaggerated victimization or inciteful hyperbole.
