very, very big on rollneck sweaters

.

As you may or may not have noticed, I spend most of my time in HUGE rollneck sweaters. I have a pretty good stock of them. Even having gotten back down to a size six pants, the chest is still outrageous and I don't want to deal with it. Never have. Whenever I'm thinking of wonderful things to wear, which is always BEFORE going out there to look for them, I think of HUGE, Omar-the-Tentmaker-style shirts and sweaters. This has been so for my whole life, even back when I was still staring at my flat chest in the bathroom mirror, willing my boobs to grow.

Well, Harley was so happy to be spared the kennel for two weeks, he cut loose with some of his mad money as a present to his pack leader... who will be wearing this sweater, in size ginormous, very soon.... My birthday sweaters both turned out to be entirely too impractical for schlumping around in the boondocks, especially on a woman known for coffee disasters and her boobs managing to get places no one ever thought of before. So THIS one, albeit supposedly only for Christmas time, will do in their stead very nicely indeed.

Also stocked up on nearly a year's worth of the good kind of vitamins the doctor says I should take for the rest of time. My blood levels of vitamin D are now in the spectacular range and STAYING there. My lifelong problem with staying in the semi-anemic zone has been cured by some fancy-ass B12 lozenges... and did you know B12 is excellent for your brain tissue and nerves? I did not, but I do now and my vaguely anemic thing is gone. My ratio of good triglycerides to bad ones ROCKS. My blood pressure, unaccountably, remains as low as an athlete's.

I'm practically Mary Poppins, dudes.

Now, if Goldie can just hang on until I relearn to fly, we're happening.

Those who make peaceful revolution impossible will make violent revolution inevitable.

The trouble with our liberal friends is not that they are ignorant, it's just that they know so much that isn't so.
—Ronald Reagan

Some of us who have already begun to break the silence of the night have found that the calling to speak is often a vocation of agony, but we must speak. We must speak with all the humility that is appropriate to our limited vision, but we must speak.

We're all fucked. I'm fucked. You're fucked. The whole department is fucked. It's the biggest cock-up ever. We're all completely fucked.

Anyone calling Obama a leftist, liberal, or progressive needs to have the stupid beat out of them.
—Old Uncle Dave

As for the Taliban ... their stated grievance is the same as Gen. Washington’s in our war with the British: If you want this war to end, get out of our country.
—Pat Buchanan

Obama-era drone warfare ... in general looks like Bush-era drone warfare on steroids.
—Scott Horton

There has to be altruism in the universe.

The morons in Washington are pushing the envelope of nuclear war. The insane drive for American hegemony threatens life on earth. The American people, by accepting the lies and deceptions of “their” government, are facilitating this outcome.
—Paul Craig Roberts

I am a child of the South. Janet Napolitano tells me I need to be afraid of people who are labeled white supremacists but I was raised around white supremacists. I am not afraid of white supremacists. I am concerned about my own government. The Patriot Act did not come from the white supremacists, it came from the White House and Congress. Citizens United did not come from white supremacists, it came from the Supreme Court.
—Cynthia McKinney

No one has to "marry" anyone else politically; no one has to embrace every tenet or belief that an anti-imperialist ally might hold. You simply have to say: "All of us, regardless of our other views, believe this truth to be self-evident: dismantling the empire will bring immediate and enormous benefits to our nation and to the world."
—Chris Floyd

The power of the people on top depends on the obedience of the people below.

...the government only starts listening to its voters once the more corrupt option turns out to be untenable.

· One out of seven American homeowners will probably lose their homes by the end of 2010.

· Only 4.7 percent of distressed homeowners who enrolled in the modification plan have gotten any help.

· Out of Obama's $75 billion program, only $2.3 million has been spent—or 0.03 percent.

Obama's performance on the foreclosure crisis—along with unemployment, the biggest problem America faces—makes Bush's laissez faire approach to Hurricane Katrina look caring and loving in comparison. If ever there were a cause for impeachment, look no further.
—Ted Rall

As self-appointed champions of civilisation against barbarism, they fail to see that a certain barbarism is the flipside of civilisation itself, inseparable from its smooth operation. For every cathedral, a pit of bones; for every artistic masterpiece, human wretchedness and back-breaking toil.
—Terry Eagleton

Here at home and throughout the world people are fighting back against the forces of wealth, privilege, and militarism — some because they have no choice, others because they would choose no other course but the one that leads to peace and justice.
