No, this isn't a thread about Cheney; I wouldn't be nearly that nice.
SOB is, in this case, doctor-speak for "shortness of breath". I haz it. It's become particularly exasperating when endeavoring to converse with a teabagger who has memorized the talking points and can spit them out machine gun style. No less irritating is the Marycan-Webister dictionary that provides handy new definitions that serve tea party/republican ambitions by irretrievably confounding the conversation; look up 'liberal' in your own dictionary, then ask a teabagger to define the word (but take a couple of aspirin first, trust me on this). So I'm working on finding ways to continue my participation without passing out on the pavement from lack of air.
Meanwhile, I find myself wondering about the keyboarding counterpart. SOB doesn't apply in cyberspace, but sometimes it sure feels like it does. At some point the thought occurs that repeatedly typing the same response to the same argument/suggestion/opinion, no matter in how many threads, is a waste of time. Much as I might hate to admit it, I can't be in more than one place at a time, and wouldn't my typing time be better used in communicating with those willing to listen at least as much as they lecture? Hmmmmm, there's a concept in there somewhere.
Lesson for me today: Breath and time are both too valuable to waste.
