That is all teaching, education policy and occasionally clothes.

Time to Stop Purchasing Clothes.

Over the vacation, I bought:

2 dress/coat or jacket late 50s suit combos.
These are always too, too tempting because they are union-made and either due to girdles or reality, thin women in the 50s were expected to have female figures. Modern suits in my size assume straight up and down figures so they invariably end up with the waist hanging off while my thighs and booty look more ready for dancing than business.

One of these was extremely inexpensive and the other, not so much. However, I did get it for half price.

5 pairs of pants.
Still, I spent less than 60 bucks. These are: one pair of very high-waisted wide legged pants from H&M, two pairs of casual pants - same style, one green one black - from Jeremy's, a pair of sailor-striped pants and a pair of white jeans.

To some extent this is justifiable because I really didn't have any pants that fit and cannot wear jeans every day.

1 Catwoman t-shirt.
What?

1 rocking pair of shoes.

Also, Megan gave me a linen dress she'd picked up vintage hunting in Seattle.

I am not a slavering fan of Palast - I mean, I think he's wrong when he diagnoses voter purging/class warfare by the wealthy as being primarily motivated by class (as opposed to race - his argument is that they're out to get the poor, who just happen to be people of color. Uh, no). There are other issues too.

That said, I think all Americans on the left (and the center-right, like the Dems) should take a look at Armed Madhouse and keep up with the GOP shenanigans by reading his site. It's not going to be enough to register new voters and get the left to the polls even if the numbers are overwhelming unless we fight back.

You got that right.

ALL HAIL!

Your result for How good of a Calvinball player are you?...

Your Grade= A+ Good knowledge and excellent strategy!

51% Game_Knowledge and 96% Game_Skill!

Amazing. You are part of the 4.3% of the population that landed in this category.^*You know the game and its history well, and you did amazingly well when it came to playing Calvinball strategically.

This suggests that you probably have a natural talent in Calvinball. You have learned that the trick to doing well in Calvinball is not brute strength, but quick wit. With your natural ability you could go far.

You are definitely already talented enough to beat Calvin. A match versus the quick-witted tiger would be close. I'm going to give you the edge, but his superior knowledge of the game might propel him to victory.

* This is a made up number.

HA HA HA HA HA.

I'm still a little unclear how HRC and Barack Obama end up way over on the left, though. There's a pretty obvious gap between "American Democratic Party" and socialist.
