I'm Here, I'm the Queen, and I Call It

Submitted by Nightprowlkitty on Mon, 03/07/2016 - 8:00pm

So how lucky can you little bloggers be that I have arrived at your little blog?

And how can I proclaim myself Queen?

I call it.

I am bringing back the age-old most primal power play in the book.

I encountered it as a child and frankly haven't found anything more ubiquitous in our grand culture.

I shall give an example.

I was probably around 7 or so, and my brother was around 13. We were playing Monopoly and I was winning.

Hello from the Great Northwest

It is very good to see you all here. The tone and friendliness of the posts and comments tell me I have made the right choice.

It has even inspired me to consider buying a computer again so I can actually write a blog post of substance. I have been asked to diary a couple of things at GOS lately that you all might find interesting. Think I would rather do that here.

Until then I will continue to enjoy reading and learning new things from the rest of you.

I am a new member here, and I about flipped last week when I realized that the trip I'd been planning with my sister and step-mom to Arizona to scatter my dad's ashes would begin at 5am on Tuesday, March 15 ... Primary day here I Missouri! I've been looking forward to voting for Bernie for months, giving to his campaign, and here I was going to miss it.

I believe that's a serious misinterpretation of how the Political system works

Is what Noam Chomsky says to Charlie Rose in this great 2003 interview.

I took a break from spotify and listened to this among other things while coding away at work today. His points are well worth noting in this election. Exactly of course what Bernie has been pointing out. And I imagine a large part of why we are here.

Have a listen and/or watch. The whole interview is great if you have time.

Where do I begin?

I don't even know where to start.

UPDATE.
Okay.
I guess I'll start with one foot firmly pressed on the third rail.

So, the moderator asks an epistemologically incoherent question: What are your blind spots WRT race? (Sorry, but they're his blind spots. HTF can he know what they are?)

Confronted with the impossible task of responding, the candidate gamely makes the attempt, specifically referring to ghettos and poverty.

Is facebook selling dead accounts to Campaigns?

I'm going to keep this short because it is just speculation on some odd things I have seen this week. Last week I was blocked on FB for a week I think it was just automated because I was sharing a lot of posts with a lot of groups. Before this election I was not a big user of FB I used it but not a lot so maybe I just do not know all that much about FB and how it works I hope someone can explain something strange.
