I’m not really feeling any of my prompts this morning. \u00a0Try to re-sample something I wrote on this date in the past, and there’s not a lot.<\/p>\n

08\/15\/2011 - 8\/15\/2011\n---------------------------------------------------------------------------\nAmazon's \"Gold Box\" recommended Barbra Streisand. I'm scared.<\/pre>\n
She can sing, but that’s true of lots of people whose music doesn’t suit me.
\nThis is one of the areas where I’m a\u00a0bad person.<\/strong> \u00a0I’m okay with people having opinions that differ from mine. \u00a0I also don’t think it’s okay to force other people to adopt my choices.
\nI’ll also stick up for your right to make choices I don’t like.
\nThrough Sunday and Monday, at the behest of Virginia’s governor, there was a message that the bigots who marched in Charlottesville shouldn’t have been allowed to do so.
\nNaturally, he chose to go shoot his mouth off on radio supported by money taken by force, and blame the ACLU<\/a> for creating the situation. \u00a0What in the actual fuck?
\nSo last night, after eating my wife’s culturally-appropriated Cuban sandwiches, I was thinking about how, no, I disagree with the idea that there’s only one way to think about it. \u00a0There’s many ways to think about it, and no one is absolutely correct.
\nEstablishing that there’s only one proper way to think is tyrannical.
\nThere was a tweet storm going back and forth about it last night.<\/p>\n

I also appreciated Greg Guttfeld’s commentary on\u00a0The Five<\/em>. \u00a0Unfortunately, I can’s seem to find that online this morning. \u00a0Chris Long,
\nOn that note, I guess I’m going to switch focus. \u00a0After trying, unsuccessfully, to get through to this HR department that sent me a notice about my application on Saturday, they finally picked up their phone after lunch. \u00a0No change. \u00a0Um, so why did you send me an email about it on Saturday (and not pick up your phone when I called in the morning)?
\nI was also looking up information about the eclipse. \u00a0Yes, the Sun is going to get blacked-out on my birthday. \u00a0If I was superstitious, I’d say that’s a sign. \u00a0I’m debating whether it might be a good time to hit the roof of the building to watch. \u00a0At the same time, it sounds like the whole thing is going to take more time than I’m willing to devote. \u00a0We’ll see.
\nBu-buh-but you need to buy glasses so you don’t tuin your retinas!!1!
\nOr just don’t look directly at it, and watch as the brightness levels go down.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
