    Also, CHers, we are about to lose our morning gathering space and I will miss you ll, and so, even if you don't celebrate Christmas or (like me) you hate it (I am using Jez to avoid my 'rents this morning), merry Xmas, you fucking dyke lesbian bonerkiller feminazis.

    In all seriousness, though, he's not an angry dude. I've watched him on Fox, at least during the election season.


    He's fairly calm in explaining his ridiculous hypocrisies without the least bit of reflection and insight. It's why he was the perfect whatever he was for Bush.

    The caganer (Obama doll) is a tradition in Spain, and isnt meant to be an insult. Its actually a handmade, limited addition, and goes with their nativity scene. Not every politician gets to be a caganer, and its meant as a compliment.

    @AthertonMerriweather: Well, you don't have to use it to say inconsequential things. And also, a bunch of your friends can see it at once, and you can see a bunch of things that other people are saying at once, so it's easier (though still not always possible) to find something interesting.


    Also, I'll get in trouble if they see me texting too much.

    @rosasparks, @et al: It depends how you use it. I have a feed reserved for the 20 or so people I'm likely to want to organize a trip to the bar or the movies or a show or dinner with. It's really convenient for that purpose, as it saves you the trouble of a-la-carte texting or accidentally leaving a friend out of a certain set of plans.


    Why is Twittering arrogant? People have to choose to follow you, so they're expressing interest in your small random thoughts or occurrances. Blogging is much more arrogant. And none of this is increasingly out of the mold of socially-acceptable communication anymore.


    You know what is arrogant, though? Emailing someone you don't know to call him an asshole after he declines to let you onto his private feed reserved for planning activities with his close friends because you think reading his blog entitles you to know what movie he's going to on Friday.

    @AthertonMerriweather: It's useful for company feeds like special discounts, new stock, and the like. Monterey Bay Aquarium will post links when they update the safe catch list or if the sea otters have done something especially cute on video. I don't view any different than a Facebook update except it's limited to 140 characters.

    @Too Hot For TNR: I would add to this that I used to have an open Twitter feed figuring that no one cared except a couple of people like Spencer and Braak. Then someone random who was following me sent one of my Tweets into my friend Hunter (and his boss) at Media Bistro, meaning my friend Hunter (who followed it! but had a sense of propriety) was asked to publish it, pissing me off. I made it private and don't let people I don't know follow me. I now get one request a day to read my random thoughts.

    Megan, stop with all the hate for the unions. They aren't perfect, and have made mistakes, but as they become weaker and weaker, there are actually less and less protections for workers. I understand your family had a bad experience with one union, but does that make it representative of all unions? Also yes unions should be more democratic, and the only way for that to happen is if the workers themselves demand it. Not by taking more and more power away from unions, leaving them to fight over the crumbs

    @alrightnow: I agree and disagree. In the educational arena, I both loved and hated my union. Teachers unions are part of the reason it's hard to fire bad teachers: in an admirable effort to protect teachers from things like principal retaliation, they tie the hands of administration. Trying to get rid of a craptactic teacher is a years long process, and even then s/he may just be transferred to an already failing school. It's a rock and a hard place.
