The Washington Monthly

The Washington Monthly

"Over at the Stakeholder, Jesse Lee writes about the latest A3S2 wingnuttery, and it's a doozy. The immigration bill working its way through Congress contains a section giving the Secretary of Homeland Security the authority to "waive...all laws" in the critical area of — wait for it — construction of barriers and fences. And of course the courts are prohibited from interfering."

hmm...maybe they aren't building fences and barriers to keep people out, but to keep people in....

"As part of an extensive, in-depth interview, a trained examiner rates the offender on a 20-item personality test. The items include glibness and superficial charm, grandiose self-worth, pathological lying, proneness to boredom and emotional vacuity. The subjects earn zero points if the description is not applicable, two points if it is highly applicable, and one if it is somewhat or sometimes true. "

Well at least I'm not a pathological liar...
or at least, uh, pathological.

I came into work with a great attitude this mornin...
I was tired, but the work on "Mauvais Choix" (Aileen's piece) went so great last night that it really propped me up...
well, suffice it to say that work has already worn me down again and I am now grouchy and useless!!!
