info as to how better use DU. Ignoring the responses and looking at your edit, it shows a jury flaw. One can write an ok post, alert, pass the alert, then edit to make the post nasty and there will be no way to hide it since it already passed a jury alert.

Bah to the OP and poster.

[quinnox]

2. Yep. It is funny, my own thread is auto-hidden so I had to remove the word (temporarily) from my

auto trash list in order to see my own thread.

[Skittles]

3. WTF

who can call themselves a Democrat or a liberal / progressive and get tired of a pivotal SC ruling / topic so quickly?

[Skittles]

7. I think we can all draw our own conclusions

yes indeed

[Erich Bloodaxe BSN]

78. My conclusion?

The kind of people who are 'tired of' HL, would most likely not be contributing anything useful to comment threads in those diaries anyway, so this is actually a 'win' of an idea for people who want to discuss HL. It will create less trolling.

[cyberswede]

88. Yet the OP is still really trolling the topic, isn't he?

[wandy]

8. Sometimes I wonder if that isn't part of our problem........

People who care about others take things like this as a personal insult. We talk it up, try to take action, get tired of hearing about it and then after time it slips from memory.
The anger subsides, we poke fun at teapublicans making fools of themselves and don't continue to take a firm stand until the next GOP insult to sanity or human dignity.

Although it is to our credit that we don't hold a grudge, forgetting implies forgiveness and in that we enable the right wing to do further damage.

[JI7]

11. there is no "we" here, the ones who care about this issue aren't complaining about it

the fact is those who complain about it have done so from day 1 .

[BainsBane]

75. and every single other issue

That relates to Women, people of color, and basically anyone but them. When people show contempt or disregard for everyone but themselves, they show themselves incapable of being responsible citizens. It's not even about liberalism. It's a matter of basic human compassion and concern for society.

[Stellar]

76. I agree totally with you!

The OP reminds me of a bagger with no compassion at all. Maybe it's because I'm a female and still really bothered by this Hobby Lobby issue.

[Skittles]

15. excellent assessment, wandy

[KT2000]

35. So true

it goes from arc to arc and the RW still controls the message.

[LeftyMom]

12. The OP gets really irritated by women with opinions.

[Skittles]

16. yup - one of THOSE kind

[genwah]

64. Who can call themselves a liberal/progressive, and not see the GOTV-gift that has

been given to us? I want to hear how voter registration can incorporate Hobby Lobby. How every door knock and I mean EVERY door knock; for me it was a girlfriend who had menstrual cramps that required BC pills when she was in junior high. It's a story I will tell to ANYONE I can, and even if it has nothing to do with the person I'm talking to, I say at the end, "...doesn't apply to everyone, but she was my girlfriend, or I would have never known. I look around at my family, at my friends, and for most of them, I'll never know. That's kinda the point."

[FSogol]

82. +1. Exactly. n/t

[phleshdef]

4. Considering the future ramifications of what happened with this awful decision...

I don't see how anyone who is doing their due diligence to be a student of politics and current events could possibly be "tired" of this story. This is pretty important shit and we can't let this one go. This should be a fucking rallying cry.

[JI7]

5. why would anyone who feels that way be on a forum like this

[Tuesday Afternoon]

9. Boom. There it is.

[sheshe2]

57. The Op was alerted on

and left to stand on a 3-4 decision. That pissed me off, JI7.

[quinnox]

58. Wow, another bogus alert

[sheshe2]

61. Actually....

your disinterest of a ruling that #1 affects half this country, you know, those pesky women. If you think for a minute that this only applies to HL employees then you haven't been listening, not that I am surprised. They opened the door with this ruling and the companies are stepping up left and right to claim exemptions.

Who knows who they will go after next. It may be you.

[quinnox]

63. Do you have the results? I am just curious to see them.

[sheshe2]

66. Of where it is going?

Yes, I do. It has been posted around this board in those bothersome posts that you wish to trash. I have also read other articles off this board. If you care to learn, then do some research on your own. I am not your teacher, you want to ignore what is going on then that is your privilege. If you want to learn then start reading about this decision and the repercussions.

Hint. Start with Justice Ginsburg's dissent...

http://news.msn.com/us/read-justice-ginsburgs-passionate-35-page-dissent-of-hobby-lobby-decision-1

Then go from there.

When you have finished educating yourself on this decision then you can get back to me.

[quinnox]

67. No, I meant the jury results of the alert you referred to. I'm assuming you were on the jury, and

so have the results. I would be interested to see what the alert said, and what the jurors said as well.

I'll start reading that other stuff after I see the jury results of the alert.

[sheshe2]

69. See below...

[quinnox]

71. Thanks

[Bobbie Jo]

62. A 3-4 result isn't bogus

it's unfortunate, but hardly bogus.

No....I wasn't the alerter. Just found this bogus OP.

For those who are tired of the Hobby Lobby topic, Pssst
http://www.democraticunderground.com/10025204896

REASON FOR ALERT

This post is disruptive, hurtful, rude, insensitive, over-the-top, or otherwise inappropriate.

ALERTER'S COMMENTS

Sexist post, this OP encourages us to "gloss" over incredibly important women's issues. It's clear to me that this post is not as forthcoming as it should be. Please hide this OTT, non-progressive, women hating post.

You served on a randomly-selected Jury of DU members which reviewed this post. The review was completed at Mon Jul 7, 2014, 02:15 AM, and the Jury voted 3-4 to LEAVE IT.

Juror #1 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: At first, I was inclined to let the post stand. It did not seem that offensive. However, upon further reflection, it became very offensive. At least fifty percent of DU is female. Yet the issues important to them are frequently given the "hush-hush" treatment. Ridiculous. Posters attempting to shut down feminist issues on a "progressive" board in 2014 (for **%%##$$) sake, deserve to be banned.
Juror #2 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #3 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #4 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: If the OP has a problem with a ruling that directly affects half the population then by all means trash it. By making it an OP belittles women. This decision has huge consequences, the door has opened and now blatant discrimination is there for any corporation to use and abuse due to their so called religious beliefs. This is not just about women. Sad that they have not figured that out!
Juror #5 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: Extremely foolish Alert, calling such sexist is encouraging unnecessary hostility. LEAVE IT, and DISCUSS.
Juror #6 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: In context, clearly more than just a reminder of DU features. Poster is certainly welcome to ignore posts on subjects; why call attention to an obvious disdain for a topic like this?
Juror #7 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: Is this for real? Alerter, are you fucking kidding me? I emphatically vote to Leave It. - Skip Intro

Thank you very much for participating in our Jury system, and we hope you will be able to participate again in the future.

[quinnox]

70. Thank you

[Bobbie Jo]

73. Thanks for posting, she

Bogus my ass.

They keep coming up with new ways to trivialize this issue around here. That is, on top of all the other "hysterical" nonsense this one dishes out.

[alp227]

107. "LEAVE IT and DISCUSS" <--I'm TIRED of that B.S.

Some topics are simply NOT worth discussing. End of story. I bet that kind of juror is probably an undercover Freeper or Conservative Caver who'd allow a thread like "Debate: Was Obama born in Kenya?" to stand.

[sheshe2]

And it does no credit to those behind it.

I'm not in the mood to forget.

[madfloridian]

13. Well, when a Baptist pastor posts these things about liberals at HL protest....

I can guarantee you I won't tire of the subject.

My response to him was:

I think Jesus loves liberals. Would he approve of Pastor @NickReedLA and his criticism? Would he disapprove of birth control? Doubt it.

[Luminous Animal]

14. No surprise AT ALL that you would want to hide Hoppy Lobby posts.

[conservaphobe]

17. Sorry, but you're going to hear a lot about women's rights from DEMOCRATS!

Outrage that lasts for a day or two and fizzles out doesn't effect change.

The constant roaring of our voices online, in the streets and at the ballot box has always been how we've corrected wrongs.

Getting "tired" of a women's rights issue says more about you than those who are upset.

[frazzled]

18. We're tired of people who think this is just trivial "women's stuff"

that has taken up too much room ... crowding out their favorite topics, such as "my right to use any offensive language I like because ... freedom."

This is one of the most significantly bad Supreme Court decisions in recent history, with ramifications that are stultifying. Not only does it recognize corporations as persons with beliefs that can trump other people's legal rights, it recognizes scientifically false claims as valid "beliefs," and it opens the door to massive disregard for laws based on employers' religious beliefs. It's a freaking nightmare on every level. And it affects 80% of the corporations in this country, and 52% of the nations' workers.

Do you always censor subjects you disagree with or find "inconvenient"? I don't believe in hiding threads. And in a dozen years here, I've never put anyone on ignore, because I don't believe you should play "monkey no see." But if I were to start, I guess you'd be my first ignore.

If you think this Supreme Court decision is too boring or petty, what topics exactly do you think are worthy of your dainty eyes?

[quinnox]

20. DU tools are there for everyone to use to customize DU to their liking

I encourage anyone to take advantage of DU tools, even the ignore function, if you feel that is something that would make DU more to your liking.

[frazzled]

25. You didn't answer: WHAT do YOU think is important to discuss?

And why do you choose to dismiss this landmark case involving women's rights, workers' rights, the separation of church and state, and a crazy-ass Supreme Court majority with poor legal reasoning ability?

I see you've rec'ed every thread that proposes people are overreacting to this decision. I only can think that you agree with Scalia, Alito, Thomas et al. Which means I can't take anything you say seriously. But I still will not put you on ignore. I'm strong enough to deal with opinions I differ with. (I'm a woman. We're strong ... and we're not going to be "hidden" by people who just don't "get" it.)

[quinnox]

27. I listed some topics I feel strongly about below

NSA spying is a topic I never get tired of, for example.

[frazzled]

30. Eh, stock, boring answers ...

that any Ron Paulite would endorse. You can't be progressive and dismiss this case.

[quinnox]

31. Anyone who dismisses the NSA spying issue is not a true progressive, in my book

And I hardly think Ron Paul would endorse universal health care.

[Starry Messenger]

37. You're not for universal health care if you find this case tiresome.

[quinnox]

38. wrong

[Starry Messenger]

41. Nope.

[Arugula Latte]

96. Anyone who routinely dismisses the rights of women is not a true progressive, in my book

[davidn3600]

32. Not sure women's rights mean much when Big Brother has you under constant surveillance

Having a police and surveillance state is a bigger problem than Hobby Lobby not paying for women's birth control pills.

[TDale313]

36. The SC just said Corporations can use...

Religious grounds to descriminate against half the population. You can claim it's much narrower than that, that it's really no big deal. Many of us feel it's a huge fuckin' deal. They've opened a really scary door, even if they're pretending it's just a tiny crack.

[pnwmom]

39. The fact that women are considered less of a "person" than a corporation is

is a bigger problem to women than exaggerated claims of a "police and surveillance" state.

[davidn3600]

44. Citizens United determined that long before this case

It's been clear for awhile now that the Supreme Court considers corporations to be people in a legal sense. Not much can be done about that unless the constitution is amended to make the definitions clear.

The general public won't stand up to corporations...most people won't even stand up to their government.

[pnwmom]

51. You, as a man, are not considered to be less of a person than a corporation.

Which is probably why you don't understand why women are so upset about the Hobby Lobby decision.

[Skittles]

50. you're completely missing the point

COMPLETELY

[sheshe2]

72. No it is not!

David, you're a man correct? Then you have no clue what this decision means to all women do you? NSA is far more important than women's equality? Really?

Have you been reading or listening at all. The highest court in this land just said women are less than men. They also opened the door to corporations to discriminate against anyone at anytime because of their religious beliefs. Think about it, you may well be next on the list.

I have far more fear of this partisan Supreme Court than I do of NSA.

[alp227]

102. ever hear of walking and chewing gum at the same time? nt

[defacto7]

59. Oh... so this OP is a how-to for using DU properly.

You should get rid of those Hobby Lobby remarks then so your OP is on topic.

[quinnox]

60. DU has many tools for personal customization, it is one of the strengths of this site

I didn't realize pointing this out would be so controversial.

[TDale313]

65. Yeah, sure you didn't.

Shockingly, people don't take it well when their concerns about their rights being eroded are treated with dismissiveness and condescension. Imagine that.

[FSogol]

84. You Better Believe It!

[CreekDog]

95. is that how you learned you can say anything you want after your post is juried?

like your nasty, rude edit that included going after WCGreen after the jury didn't hide your post?

[Tuesday Afternoon]

109. wtf?

can you PM me a link, please. Are you saying he went after a man that could be very possibly seeing his last days ... ?

If you go to "My account", and then "Trash can", and then write "hobby" in the space for auto-trash keyword, it will magically disappear most of the threads about it. Just a tip for those who get tired of certain topics that flood the board from time to time.

The trick is to pick a good keyword, and this technique can be used for any "hot" news story that from time to time will flood DU for a while.

Here are some more examples of keywords I have trashed in the past, and my reasons for doing so:

Christie -- because I get really tired of people posting OPs about him. I don't give a fig about the scumbag.
Cruz -- same reason as above.
Palin -- same reason.
Phelps -- same reason.
Steubenville -- some time back, there was a big criminal case in the news about this city, it seemed to be never-ending. I didn't have any interest in it, at all.
wcgreen -- I forget, lol. No idea.
woo -- I just think it is a really stupid internet "fad word", and so I trash all threads referring to it.

After a certain time period, when the topic has faded and is no longer being seen or posted about in a frenzy, you can go back to your auto trash key word and remove the word from the list. One of the best things about DU is each individual can customize it to their liking, and this is one of the strengths of this site, for sure!

[Tuesday Afternoon]

112. thanks. He has edited this post since last night. Why he thinks we are interested in his

Trash List, I have no idea.

and, that was tacky, to say the least.

No Need to mention that man at all.

This is a real WTF moment for DU, I think.

[CreekDog]

113. he edited after it was juried, making his post bulletproof

if a jury reviews your post and leaves it, you can edit it to your heart's content and it will stand.

i have posed in ATA about this.

probably half a dozen of my ATA questions in a row have not been answered, we'll see if this loophole is sanctioned.

[Tuesday Afternoon]

115. yes, and just because One Can do this doesn't mean One Should.

Seems this guy is thumbing his nose at everyone.

I really wonder if I am watching an EPIC Flame Out taking place.

[TDale313]

134. We can hope. n/t

[defacto7]

121. Pointing that out is not controversial.

Using Hobby Lobby as the example puts your OP into a category inconsistent with the point you claim to be making. You've made Hobby Lobby your point, not tools of DU. That is why there is so much push back.

If encouraging people to put Hobby Lobby articles on ignore using "key words" is you message, this is the outcome you should expect.

If enlightening people about the tools of DU is the only message you want to make, you missed target.

[LeftyMom]

19. Ladies and allies, I suggest replying to the OP's threads with articles about women's issues.

Eventually he'll block them all (and maybe convince his trilby-clad brethren to do the same) and we can discuss our lives and our rights in peace.

[Starry Messenger]

21. Is there anything progressive you are actually in support of?

Let me know, so I can put "hobby" in the title, since politics are so obviously just that for you.

[quinnox]

22. Some subjects I feel strongly about

NSA spying (against it), drone warfare (against it), environmentalism - protecting and preserving (for it), universal health care (for it), free college education for all, living wage. Much higher taxes on the top percent.

Those are just some of the more important issues.

You tell me if that is progressive.

[Starry Messenger]

23. More important than legal equity for half the human race.

Gotcha. And no. You aren't.

[pnwmom]

40. Justice Scalia has written that women are not counted as "citizens" or "persons"

in the 14th amendment and thus are not guaranteed equal protection of the laws.

Corporations, on the other hand, are.

None of your issues are more important than the human rights of more than half the population.

[quinnox]

42. You're obviously not understanding the significance of several of those issues

Some of those are of far more critical importance than a Supreme Court ruling.

[pnwmom]

54. You obviously don't understand the significance to women of it being demonstrated

once again that we are not fully citizens or persons in the US.

[Generic Other]

91. Next he will be arguing about whether

we have souls. This OP has offered up self-centered malecentric blather in response to women's legitimate anger. Our so-called ally yawning at women's concerns. Not very impressive.

[TDale313]

24. It's nice to see this bs being called out.

Anyone who finds women's issues so tedious deserves the blowback.

(Oh, and btw, this ruling doesn't just impact women)

If you go to "My account", and then "Trash can", and then write "quinnox" in the space for auto-trash keyword, it will magically disappear many of the threads about it. Just a tip for those who get tired of certain topics that flood the board from time to time.

79. Great tip!

Thank you!

[mwrguy]

29. I'm sorry you are inconvenienced by seeing threads about women's rights.

Perhaps you are in the wrong place.

[quinnox]

33. I'm not "inconvenienced"

As I showed, anyone can customize the DU experience to their liking.

It is one of the strengths of DU!

[Skittles]

45. to their liking?

I trash words like POWERBALL because I don't give a fuck who the latest Powerball winner is - but a Supreme Court ruling that makes an employer's religion more important than women's rights - you want to remain in the dark about that? WTF

[quinnox]

48. Do you want me to not trash the key word "hobby" on my auto-trash list?

[Skittles]

52. I think other DUers have it right

probably best for people like you to stay away

[quinnox]

55. Ok, it just seemed like you were upset about my suggestion. That is why I asked.

[sheshe2]

131. This is interesting....

As I showed, anyone can customize the DU experience to their liking.

It is one of the strengths of DU!

Since you customized your OP "to your liking" after it went to jury and can no longer be alerted on. Seems to me that you are playing games on DU.

[xfundy]

34. Even easier!

Just tune in to fox noise. Much easier than thinking, and ignoring reality seems to be your goal, based on this post. Good luck with that.

[Gormy Cuss]

43. How kind of you to 'splain that to everyone. n/t

[Skittles]

47. I see what you did there Gormy

[joshcryer]

46. By all means, everyone not interested in topics important to DU...

...please trash them.

That way we won't have to see your opinion in our threads.

[quinnox]

49. Exactly, or another way is to use the ignore function

That is another way to not see a particular duer's opinions.

Make use of the tools DU gives you, that is my opinion.

[Skittles]

53. things tend to go.......right over your head, don't they

[quinnox]

56. If you say so

[m-lekktor]

86. except please spare us the vanity thread telling us which topics you trash.

unless your passive aggressive tendencies just overtake you and you can't help yourself!

[Separation]

74. But what if I miss a cool "hobby" thread?

I'm semi retired and always looking for new hobbies. I'd hate to miss out on a new hobby.

[treestar]

77. I don't mind it

The person is concerned that the issue is big. Somehow it is bothering them.

I like DU floods for some reason. When there is a hot topic with a lot of threads.

[seaglass]

81. Now everyone knows the word to put in OP titles if they don't want your opinion. Thanks! n/t

[Demsrule86]

85. I don't think I am tired of Hobby Lobby

Honestly, the right would like us to forget the fact they are trampling women's rights preferably before November. Why do you desire to aid them in this endeavor. In the words of Joe Biden whom I adore...this is a BFD.

[cyberswede]

87. WCGreen is a DUer recovering from a transplant, I believe.

Happily, he appears to be improving, which I'm sure you will be glad to know.

****WCGreen Update --Saturday July 5, 2014****
From his wife:

A Christopher Green update:

Sorry, I have spending a lot more time with Chris. He is more himself every day. Last night we watched fireworks from his 9th floor room, facing east. Confinement to his bed prevented him from seeing them all. There were fireworks all along the lake, out east and south.

Thanks again to all that supported us by eating at Frankie's Italian Cuisine!

97. Jesus fucking christ.

This has to be one of the scummiest threads I have seen on DU. It's always the same handful of assholes gleefully finger painting their shit all over the walls of DU.

YOUR COMMENTS

The edited statement about ignoring posts about WCGreen is over the top and offensive. WCGreen is a longtime member of DU and has had serious health issues and many DUers appreciate the updates about him that have been posted here. Or at least are classy enough to not suggest people hide updates about him because "LOL I forget".

[panader0]

123. Incredible--but somehow I don't think Chris Green will mind being on this jerk's ignore list.

[bigtree]

101. we shouldn't 'tire' until the issues are resolved.

period.

[bravenak]

104. I see you changed it.

I see no improvement.

[JI7]

130. the edit is far worse and more offensive with the attack on a DU member

[alp227]

105. I understand why you're tired of reading about right wing scumbags,

but can you articulate an argument why you don't want to read about the Steubenville rape case or Hobby Lobby? I can only hope you're not hiding any evil intentions. And WCGreen? Seriously? Why don't you pay him a visit to his hospital bed and brag about it in front of his friends & family. Good luck if YOU need a hospital bed afterwards.

[lunatica]

106. Knock yourself out

Everyone will surely admire you for your cleverness in your effort to be the topic police.

[uppityperson]

108. Here is the original and the 4 edits. Even if self deletes, admin can view edits

Here is the whole thing, so now I can look at it all together and see what was changed. "this is one of the strengths of this site, for sure!"

If you go to "My account", and then "Trash can", and then write "hobby" in the space for auto-trash keyword, it will magically disappear most of the threads about it. Just a tip for those who get tired of certain topics that flood the board from time to time.

The trick is to pick a good keyword, and this technique can be used for any "hot" news story that from time to time will flood DU for a while.

After a certain time period, when the topic has faded and is no loner being seen, you can go back to your auto trash key word and remove the word from the list.

Here are some more examples of keywords I have trashed in the past, and my reasons for doing so:

Christie -- because I get really tired of people posting OPs about him. I don't give a fig about the scumbag.
Cruz -- same reason as above.
Palin -- same reason.
Phelps -- same reason.
Steubenville -- some time back, there was a big criminal case in the news about this city, it seemed to be never-ending. I didn't have any interest in it, at all.
wcgreen -- I forget, lol. No idea.
woo -- I just think it is a really stupid internet "fad word", and so I trash all threads referring to it.

136. He edited to add "or posted about in a frenzy" - good grief

The posts objecting to the Hobby Lobby decision could hardly be called "a frenzy."

(...not to mention the WCGreen health updates and how THOSE shouldn't be referred to as a "frenzy.&quot

[MerryBlooms]

110. Unbelievably callous of you to belittle a man struggling in the hospital after a lung transplant.

[boston bean]

116. That was most disgusting, I must say.

That was plain old mean, rude, callous, disruptive and OOT, shocking and hateful, malicious, repugnant.

Hopefully, someone, somewhere in charge of this website remembers their own written words:

Don't do anything else which is similarly disruptive.

Just because it isn't listed here, doesn't mean it's ok. If you post anything which is obviously disruptive, malicious, or repugnant to this community, its members, or its values, you risk being in violation of these Terms of Service.

120. Seriously. Enough is enough. n/t

[herding cats]

117. Unbelievable.

You're not doing yourself any favors here with your addition of WCGreen in your OP. It really is making you look like an even bigger heel to know you found his rare health updates to be too much for you to bear. It's a window into your heart you may not have wanted to open for all to see. The man is fighting for his life and reads this site from his hospital bed, and you made your disdain for his health public.

I don't know what you hoped to accomplish with this, but you've managed to offend a lot of people for no damn good reason. I know I'm thoroughly disgusted by your OP.

[shanine]

118. You are one evil sick fuck

[Skittles]

124. excellent assessment

IBTL

[JI7]

127. the person has made negative comments about african american hair and many other offensive

shit.

i'm not surprised.

but to personally go after another member of this website who is dealing with serious health issues and laugh about it ??????

[Little Star]

133. Got that right....

119. my ATA post.

Post edited to ADD offensive statement about DU member AFTER jury review

The newly edited OP can no longer be juried, though it deserves to be reviewed at least.

AUTOMATED MESSAGE: You alerted on a post which was already alerted
Mail Message
On Mon Jul 7, 2014, 09:07 AM you sent an alert on the following post:

For those who are tired of the Hobby Lobby topic, Pssst
http://www.democraticunderground.com/10025204896

REASON FOR ALERT

This post is disruptive, hurtful, rude, insensitive, over-the-top, or otherwise inappropriate.

YOUR COMMENTS

The edited statement about ignoring posts about WCGreen is over the top and offensive. WCGreen is a longtime member of DU and has had serious health issues and many DUers appreciate the updates about him that have been posted here. Or at least are classy enough to not suggest people hide updates about him because "LOL I forget".

http://www.democraticunderground.com/~CaliforniaPeggy

JURY RESULTS

Someone else already alerted on this post before you alerted on it, and only the first alert was sent to a Jury. A randomly-selected Jury of DU members completed their review of the post on Sun Jul 6, 2014, 11:15 PM, and voted 3-4 to keep IT. Please note that even though your alert was not sent to a Jury, it has been forwarded to the Administrators who review all alerts.

Thank you.

137. I have a few of those.

My current list:

Megyn Kelly (???) I don't even remember who she is, but I must have gotten sick of seeing her at some point. Don't tell me. If I really wanted to know, it would be easy to find out.

Obama Because cheerleading offends my sense of intellectual integrity, and I've removed some of the temptation to say what I really think about a neo-liberal POTUS on a "DEMOCRATIC!!!!underground site.
Obamacare Because I'm tired of pointing out that it's not the solution to the health CARE crisis
porn...there must have been some thread wars at some point, lol
woo...much the same as you

So I just went in and took out the two I don't remember why I had there; I'm not to the point, YET, that I need to add "hobby."
