When agencies or individuals fall prey to unfair competitors, irate ex-employees or disgruntled shoppers, then a SERM gets to be vital during the financial survival of the organization.
Firms like SERMs are necessary in preserving, and in some cases salvaging and restoring providers or person's popularity and fantastic identify.
Via the internet searches are a single in the 1st points that contemporary day consumes do prior to spending dough with a corporation or individual, and 1 poor click can suggest economic disaster for a home business, in particular in this actually growing cyber economy. Reputation for these SERMs are boosting by leaps and bounds using the realization it is not prudent to attempt to conduct online business on this cyber age rather than possess a SERM on retainer together with your accountant and your lawyer.
Businesses are also appreciating the collateral advantage of having a Reputation Management agency on-board as an integral a part of their corporation model, its amazing promoting! Whilst securing a company's high-quality status and identify online, it generates excellent press and positive exposure that finally adds significantly for the bottom line of a company's harmony sheet, creating the solutions to actually spend for by itself in many conditions.
This tends to become an exceptionally powerful promoting level for corporations too as people today, to understand that they're cleansing and defending their reputations and cyber pictures, despite the fact that simultaneously running an incredibly helpful marketing initiative. In some cases companies entirely disregard their former promoting efforts over the internet and choose the benefits of On the net Status Management.
Having a SERM firm on your aspect is with no a doubt the way to go in this cyber age. For much more material on online reputation management and corporate reputation management, Please visit us at http://removeripoffreports.net/

Who's Making Money
She claims she’s known since 2006 that this would be her last term. Could be, but (a) she’s changed her mind about the Senate before and (b) getting blown out by Rick Perry in the gubernatorial primary last year surely must have brought home to her what a 2012 primary would look like. Tea partiers want this seat, and one way or another, they’re probably going to get it. Why put herself through another brutal, expensive primary that’s likely to end in embarrassment?
I wonder what Olympia Snowe’s thinking right now.
Hutchison, first elected to the Senate in 1993, said the swearing-in of the new Congress, among other things, made her feel it was the right moment to announce her resignation.
She predicted that her departure from the political scene would set off a rampage of candidates looking to replace her.
“It’s just time for people to start making their plans,” Hutchison said. “Now it’s time for a new person.”
Likely Republican contenders to succeed her include Lt. Gov. David Dewhurst, Dallas Mayor Tom Leppert, state Sen. Florence Shapiro of Plano, Railroad Commissioners Elizabeth Ames Jones and Michael Williams, Weatherford car dealer Roger Williams, and Ted Cruz, a former Texas solicitor general and candidate for state attorney general.
Sound off, Texans: Who’s the favorite? Heard a lot of excitement for Williams on Twitter today after the news about KBH first broke. Via his campaign website, here he is on big government and health-care reform.
Update: A source familiar with Texas politics handicaps the race thusly:
The most amazing thing here is the level of talent that will be competing for this seat. There are several GOP candidates who are viable and would be good to great senators if elected.
Inside track – Lt Gov David Dewhurst. He’s a billionaire, so he can fund the race and defend the seat, and he holds what is actually the most powerful post in Texas government, so he has been collecting chits on this run for years.
Track 2 – AG Greg Abbott. The grassroots and Tea Parties adore Abbott. He has championed the anti-ObamaCare lawsuit, and is one of Texas’ absolute best stump speakers. He has also led a crackdown on deadbeat dads, which has earned him a lot of support in the middle.
Track 3 – Roger Williams. Former Texas Secretary of State, and he chaired the state Victory effort in 2008, raising $5 million in a couple of months. He’s wealthy, sharp, and may have the most experienced campaign talent on his side.
Track 4 – Michael Williams, Elizabeth Ames Jones, state Sen. Dan Patrick, former solicitor general Ted Cruz. Williams and Jones are both on the Railroad Commission, Williams has major grassroots support and is mindblowingly good at stump speeches, Patrick has a major Houston radio show and is very media savvy and well liked, Jones has money and some major backers of her own. Cruz is a bit of a dark horse (as is Patrick) but the grassroots love him and he’s also great on the stump. None of these candidates are bad candidates. All have held or currently hold major offices.
It will be a fascinating race to watch. There may be 20-25 candidates total on the GOP side, compared to 2 or 3 on the D side, with former Houston mayor Bill White leading that field. He was a terrible candidate for governor, no reason to think he’ll be any better running for Senate. The GOP keeps the seat, and chances are, gets a more conservative senator.

Christine O’Donnell and Sarah Palin appeal to a lot of people who find our modern world too complex and difficult to navigate. Those two women frame everything in simple terms that don’t require much in the way of soul-searching or intellectual exercise. Ignorance with confidence is a message that works well, and it is particularly suited to our sound-bite TV culture, because it can be dispensed in small, pithy doses between shampoo commercials.

I don’t think that anyone, male or female, should get upset when he/she reveals that he/she is not very ready for political prime-time. I would expect them to take some time for self-examination and work to learn something and change the image. It’s not the fault of others if a male/female comes across as having half-baked ideas. The blame has to be placed on the offender, and anyone who says crazy stuff deserves all of the condemnation and ridicule he/she gets. McDonnell threw her own hat in the political ring.
O’Donnell was the conductor, and her supporters were the passengers. The train wrecked. I’m an observer, and I say she’s to blame for the predicament she now finds herself in. I’ve got enough of my own problems to worry about Christine’s. Her lesson should be: don’t try driving a train if you haven’t been trained to do so, and yes, I’m laughing at her, enjoying it, and hoping that she decides not to run for another political office for the rest of her life. I also abhor anyone who uses Christianity to further his/her own personal/political goals.

That so explains why she was never generally accepted by the Palinites. She could never generate the amount of seething resentment with which they identify. She said the right things; she had the right enemies. But she was never truly one of them. Being psychotic and bone ignorant was not enough. You also have to be a sociopath—kill ‘em all and let God sort ‘em out mentality; you’re either part of the problem or part of the solution; in war, there are no innocent bystanders; you’re either on the guest list or on the menu; fuck ‘em all but six and use them for pall bearers.

I watched the same interview (definitely CNN) and that anchor dude seemed a bit taken aback by her craziness and lack of legal help. Mainly because she didn’t have a clue why he asked the question (over and over) or that anything she said might be problematic from a legal perspective. He first asked the question after her answer to his question about her townhouse rent being paid with campaign funds. She basically admitted it and went into some convoluted explanation about how it was campaign headquarters or something. That’s when he asked if she had gotten legal advice before appearing. The prosecutor is cackling with glee. She really is a stupid one this one.
And Cole? You are a man and I’ll forgive your stupidity here on that basis. O’Donnell is, yes, a true believer and every bit as dumb as she is crazy. But the idea that she doesn’t have a mean bone in her body, poor thing, is a con only a man could buy. She’s every bit as mean as Sarah Barracuda. She just doesn’t have the right mentors (because she’s truly crazy and they know it), she isn’t nearly as sly and calculating as Palin, but she’s said a lot of horrible mean things about a lot of people.

Because Israel has nothing the fuck to do with this, and unless you’ve conducted some kind of in-depth analysis of my many comments on your stupid blog, the statement that “normally when [I] get malicious . . . it is normally [sic] when Israel is the topic” is a type of selective, gratuitous obnoxiousness that I don’t think I’ve ever seen you direct at anyone else, no matter how “malicious” their comments.
And calling me “malicious” for calling out sexism, even if you don’t agree with it—especially given the level of insult that is the accepted norm here short of using the word “c**t”—is a whole ‘nother species of gratuitous assholery in a class of its very own.

As for whether Cole’s characterization of O’Donnell is soft-hearted, the terminology (“stupid, silly, pig-ignorant”) sounds forgiving insofar as it’s not condemnatory. He doesn’t say that she’s ‘a fucking idiot asshole’, for example. However! It’s the kind of thing you might say about, oh, Alvin Greene. They’re both simpletons.

And I do not take accusations of sexism lightly either. One of the many things I despise about Hamsher is her constant, pathetic exploitation of that card when she’s got no others in her hand.
Just show me a place where you’ve ever said anything remotely like this
I just don’t sense a malicious streak. Sure, the outcome of her policies would have a malicious impact on the American people, but I don’t think she understands that.

That part of the qoute gave me an “Ah-ha!” moment. But usually an “Ah-ha!” moment lifts the spirit, whereas this one chilled my very soul.
The fact that Christine O’Donnell and others like her can and do glide through life in this country based on nothing more than proudly declaring and living by the credo “I don’t have to believe anything that contradicts what I believe the Bible says about the world” is proof that this really is a Christian nation.

I can. If there is ever a Chauncey Gardiner running that is the male version of O’Donnell, I probably will.
My god, your argument boils down to “I wasn’t mean enough to her for your tastes because I’m sexist” when I thought I was pretty damned awful to her, and just thought she didn’t have a mean streak but is a blithering idiot, wholly incompetent, and ignorant. You are also completely avoiding the fact that when discussing women I do consider having a mean streak, like Bachmann, Palin, or back in the 2008 campaign, Hillary, I unload to your satisfaction. Wouldn’t that in and of itself prove that my comments are matched to the occasion and the individual, and not guided by sexism? Or are you making up the rules for sexism these days?
And incidentally, when I am sufficiently rude to your tastes to people like Palin and Bachmann, wingnuts call me sexist.

And when Israel does something I think is wrong, I say so.

Maybe it brings out the protective instinct or maybe they think it indicates honest goodness (too stupid to lie). I don’t think a guy could pull off this ‘dumb blond’ routine. That may indicate a sexist society (I could debate either side of that) but discussing if the ditsy is really that stupid or just playing is not sexist.

No one ever discusses the fuckability of male politicians? On what planet?
One of the reasons Poppy Bush picked Quayle was his slight resemblance to Robert Redford, which was sure to attract the wimmens.
I remember reading articles about women swooning over W, and I remember diaries at Kos about who was the dreamiest Dem in the country (I think Martin O’Malley won).
There was a whole Web site devoted to Howard Dean’s pulchitrude, replete with shirtless pix of his teenage self.

I think O’Donnell figured that her running for office was a ‘job’ that she could pay herself with from the ‘proceeds’. It’s the entitled mindset that comes to a conclusion like that. They figure that they exist therefore they have a right to whatever they can do and get their hands on.
Just because they are so great and exceptional, much more so than anyone else!
Back in the early 80’s I worked for a real jerk of a conservative and his brother in their small business. These guys philosophy was “possession is 9/10ths of the law”, arguing that if you want something then you just go ahead and take it for yourself until someone stops you. If no one stops you then you were obviously right. If someone tries to stop you then you fight tooth and nail to keep it. If you lose you take your lumps and move on. Sadly, it works.
Both brothers were sad sopped drunks, each putting away a fifth of gin a day regularly, sometimes more if they were fighting (which was quite often). They kept two sets of books for the business and I when I learned about them (inadvertently) they told me that their business would fail if they ever had to pay taxes on the actual income of the place. I won’t go in to more detail about it but after that I pretty much knew everything in those books. I didn’t know, or try to figure out, if their claim was true but I was given a significant pay raise afterward and I really needed the money at the time so I shut my mouth.
Frequently their wives would run off to Las Vegas or southern California (they were originally from there), taking every penny the business had in cash on hand (which was often 10 grand or more) and heading off to party under the guise of having brawled with their husbands. The brothers would take off to get them, leaving me to run the business (which I really did even when they were ‘there’) for a week or two, handing them a huge wad of cash upon their return. I never made bank deposits but I handled all of the cash, receipts and the accounting of them so I know what was coming in. I also saw both sets of books and knew the differences, which were quite considerable.
One day I showed up for work and found out I couldn’t. They had sold the business (the new owners were leveling the place for another use) and left town without telling me. I later learned where they went (they retired to a small town in the same state) but I never bothered contacting them. I had plenty of money saved so I just moved on to the next good thing (college).
Funny thing though, they were Jehovah’s Witnesses. No joke. Conservative as all fuck but batshit crazy as hell and committed to the church as all get out. For all of their money I sure as hell wouldn’t have wanted their lives, they were well off and miserable as hell. Still, I would say they walked away from life (both have since passed on) having done quite well with their “possession is 9/10ths of the law” philosophy.
It seems to work elsewhere in conservative circles quite well too. Quite the philosophy.

Oh yeah, Al Gore is fat. You may not like the fact that physical appearance matters in politics but it does and that is just that. Now I don’t want to fuck GWB, Palin, ODonnell or the damn snow man down the street or Obama or Biden.

She’s shown a mean streak – as noted above she makes “gay” insinuations about most men who oppose her, except Biden and he’s tapping her phones and throwing FBI heat at her. As if.

is NOT the equivalent of discussions about GWB or Ronald Reagan being “evil or just stupid.” The overall concept is similar—but look at the words, and the condescending attitude they express.
I “just don’t sense a malicious streak” in Bush/Reagan?
“I don’t think” Bush/Reagan “understands” what the outcome of his policies would be? Really??
And to get back to TBogg’s “has this right” thesis: Bush/Reagan shouldn’t be blamed for misappropriating campaign funds because they were “spiritually pure, lost in a fantasy, and dependent on the kindness of strangers”??

You absolutely did say the essence of that, when the rape accusations against Assange came out last summer. Without missing a beat. And reiterated it thereafter. And if you don’t believe it, I’m sure your archives are more accessible to you than they are to me.
I have no idea why they are more accessible to me than you, but if you put “rape assange” in the search box you will see I dismissed the charges WHEN the Swiss dropped them, stating it is deeply troubling when charges of rape are tossed around, because rape is a serious thing.
The only other thing I said about it was the following:
You know what? Maybe he is a pervert and a rapist. But you don’t exactly have to be Alex Jones or Paul Watson or drinking grain and rain water to think this is a little sketchy. Especially the way it just sort of appeared after the military document dump, and now after the latest dump, the arrest warrant is issued. It is just getting too convenient (Ritter) that every time someone throws a fly in the ointment, this kind of thing happens. Maybe there is something in the personality type and it is all just a big coincidence. Or maybe not.
And I stand by that. You don’t exactly have to be a conspiracy theorist to note that every time someone speaks up, this sort of thing happens. And even then, I noted the possibility of his being a rapist and that maybe there is something in the personality type that makes people who are defiant (like Assange or Ritter) that also coincides with their being sexual deviants.
As to this bullshit:
I eagerly await a link to where you—similar to your hero Glennzilla—ever said anything along the lines of “Regardless of anyone’s opinions of Assange and Wikileaks, an accusation of rape is a serious matter to be resolved pursuant to the applicable law—and no one should EVER attack the accuser, or question her motives, any more than they should assume the guilt of the accused.”
Lo and behold, I linked to two pieces that SAID JUST FUCKING THAT. Here is the Amanda Marcotte piece I linked:
We can be grown-ups here. We can entertain the idea that Wikileaks is performing a valuable service while acknowledging the strong possibility that Julian Assange is himself an asshole who treats women like they’re objects he can exert his massive power issues on. We can criticize Interpol for treating these alleged sex crimes more seriously than they ever treat sex crimes and maintain sympathy for women who reportedly were quite afraid they had been exposed to unintended pregnancy or worse. Maybe we can even do one better than that, and accept that more than a few men who consider themselves liberals or even leftists—-or may even claim to be feminists—-still act like women’s concerns should be dismissed and our rights can be transgressed with ease. I’m not accusing Assange of anything, but I seriously think it’s silly to think the accusations couldn’t be credible.
And here is Feministe:
I’m not particularly interested in debating What Assange Did or Whether Assange Is A Rapist, and I’d appreciate it if we could steer clear of that in the comments section. Rather, I’m interested in pushing back on the primary media narrative about this case, which is that women lie and exaggerate about rape, and will call even the littlest thing — a broken condom! — rape if they’re permitted to under a too-liberal feminist legal system. In fact, there are lots of good reasons to support consent-based sexual assault laws, and to recognize that consent goes far beyond “yes you can put that in here now.” It’s a shame that the shoddy, sensationalist reporting on this case have muddied those waters.
You have now trotted out every single form of weak bullshit imaginable, and the facts and the archives have shot you down each and every time. You even got to throw in a weak shot at Greenwald.
Do you want to stop now, or keep digging?

John Cole, 12/1 Is this a joke?
“And before the trolls assert I am downplaying charges of rape and sexual crimes, I am not. He should be arrested and allowed to face his accusers and go through the judicial process. But the most wanted list? There aren’t any serial murderers, terrorists, drug smugglers, sex slave traffickers, gun runners, or other violent predators who belong on the most wanted list and deserve a little more attention? Christ, you want to catch Julian Assange, just stand near a live news camera for any of the major networks. He’ll show up eventually.”
I had written this blog off years ago as right wingnut and was amazed when I dropped in a few months ago, because ok, things have evolved. And that’s great, and maybe I’ve changed too… but I have sort of kept an eye out for old tendencies… and I remember lately being mostly impressed that Cole has been extremely tolerant in general, in his own special way, so I was wondering if eemon had a legit point or not.

Wait.
That’s my stock answer to every “Is this politician ignorant or mean?” debate. Just wait. Sooner or later, the person in question will demonstrate both qualities with aplomb.
Every liberal thought Dan Quayle was just some harmless airhead ne’er-do-well until he made it his top priority to go after single mothers with a vengeance. That was pretty mean. I’m sure that, given enough time, O’Donnell will launch into a toxic harangue against some class of dispossessed, “ungodly” people. She certainly has the theological background for it: Conservative Christians are a notoriously petty and narcissistic lot. It’s kind of hard not to be when you subscribe to the metaphysical version of Facebook.

@alwhite:
I don’t think a guy could pull off this ‘dumb blond’ routine.
Dan Quayle made it as far as the vice-presidency. And I don’t know any women, not even Republicans, who found Danny Boy “sexy”. But Bill “Always Wrong” Kristol bragged to other male Republicans that Quayle’s “sexiness” would make him more attractive to female voters, which is just one more indication of what male Republicans think about women.
And it could be argued that St. Ronnie got away with a whole ton of thuggish-to-openly-criminal behavior, starting with his original attempt to hijack the 1964 RNC convention, by playing the “I’m just a simple tootsie from the country (of Hollywood)” card. I think Reagan was a mean muthafukker, despite the hagiography, but well before his handlers announced the Alzheimers diagnosis, any criticism of Governor Ronnie, Candidate Ronnie, President Ronnie would be greeted with howls of Leave Ronnie alloooooonnne! from his defenders.

@eemom: I can’t really see it that way—I keep getting that she’s a vacuous true believer rather than a cynical manipulator/huckster like Palin. But that’s not “aw, leave her alone,” it’s more like—to borrow John’s reference—stupid not evil.
But on the larger issue, I do think that vacuous political men don’t actually get called cute and charming along the way. People who didn’t like Dan Quayle didn’t take a beat to say that he was a pleasant person first, not that I recall. Gary Hart and John Edwards were considered handsome but not vacuous. Scott Brown may be the exception. But we’re drawing from a very restricted universe here: attractive, genial politicians of either sex who didn’t have many accomplishments.

Sorry for the OT, but:
Funny, these days when I think of Gordon Liddy I see Dabney Coleman. Could be the same thing as how Ben Bradlee will always be Jason Robards in my mind.
Funny thing about Watergate, too: The bad guys really did win. Cheney and Rumsfeld are billionaires; even Nixon got his hero’s burial. And Gordon Liddy has a fucking radio show. The fact that he can talk on air about how much he admires Bush’s johnson is instructive of the First Amendment, to say nothing of reminding us how many deep-closeted sadists like Gordon Liddy are living openly among us, either daring us to call them on it or thinking we can’t see their thing for what it is, I’m not sure which. In either case, they’re fucking poison.
But really, doesn’t Liddy remind you of Dabney Coleman?

@eemom:
oh, goodie. Now we’re back in “would I want to fuck her or not” land.
Yes, there were MANY conversations like that among women about GWB and Dan Quayle.
Nope, nothing sexist about this line of inquiry, nothing at all. Nothing to see here, ladies, just move on…And now you’re moving the goalposts.
Your initial complaint was, verbatim:
I’m not usually one to start stupid wars about sexism (unless I’m bored, which I am)—but srsly, would you and TBogg extend such tenderhearted indulgence toward this opportunistic buffoon if she were a man?
You asserted that Cole and Tbogg were giving O’Donnell the benefit of the doubt of being dumb as a post rather than an evil bitch because she was female, and that this was sexist. The problem is, you don’t actually know why they approached this topic from the angle they did, and you pretty much have to take their explanations at face value.
Lacking any legitimate ground to stand on there, you then seized on the side discussion of O’Donnell’s attractiveness and pointed to that, conflating it with your accusations against Cole and implying that the existence of this line of conversation supported the point you were trying to make about Cole and Tbogg’s posts.
Never mind the fact that neither Cole nor Tbogg were part of that side conversation. Never mind the fact that “well-meaning but dumb” or words to that effect was a description regularly applied to Reagan for years. Never mind that your point about women not talking about the fuckability of male politicians is also ignorant horseshit—do you not actually have any female friends, or were you just asleep during the Clinton years and Obama’s campaign?
And that’s not even getting into your multiple sweeping generalizations about men in this thread alone that you make without any evident awareness of just how much they undermine any point you were trying to make.
I’m sure you could be more full of shit than you’ve been in this thread, but it would take a powerful and sustained effort.

@Bella Q: I agree that she’s probably dumb as a box of hammers, (I dunno really, I haven’t actually paid that much attention to her). But folks on the left are mistaken about what happened in that exchange. Righties are always telling each other, “but the first amendment does not include the words ‘separation of church and state.’ ” And they are right, it doesn’t. (Jefferson wrote that elsewhere.) The fact that those exact words are not part of the 1st amendment proves something or other to them.
She was reacting to her opponents comment b/c she thought he thought that the text of the 1st amendment included those words and couldn’t believe he was that stupid.
Since those of us on the left don’t spend a lot of time pondering whether or not those exact words are in the amendment, but rather the sense of the amendment (admirably explicated by Jefferson) we missed the reference.
Sort of like a dogwhistle thing. Not exactly, but related.

That was my take too, that she got a bit of a raw deal with that separation of church and state deal, since the outside world doesn’t know that it’s VERY important in the Jesusland belief system that those exact words aren’t in the First Amendment. So she was answering correctly according to her group’s view of the issue, and didn’t really understand why she took the hit for it and her opponent didn’t.

I think O’Donnell sincerely believes that the people who gave her money to run for office gave it to her with the understanding that she is doing God’s work no matter how long it takes and a rent payment here and an evening of bowling there are just a place to stay and a thing to do during The Perpetual Campaign of Righteousness, for she is the embodiment of the contributors hopes and desires. They want her to use it as she sees fit.
But that’s ideological, and it applies to conservatives and campaign finance in general.
This is a real dividing line, and I don’t know how much more proof we need.
Citizens, McCain-Feingold, maybe the best example is the Chamber of Commerce. Democrats actually got traction on the Chamber of Commerce/transparency charges with the broader public (and Citizens, actually, which polls really poorly), and the whole conservative choir stuck by The Chamber’s “right” to not reveal donors, despite some political peril.
It’s an article of faith with conservatives: campaign finance rules are a way for liberals to SILENCE conservatives. Read the WSJ editorial page sometime.
I think this is deeply ingrained on the Right. It’s like voter fraud, or “no separation of church and state in the 1st Amendment”. This belief goes all the way to the Supreme Court.
She doesn’t explain it not because she’s stupid but because she doesn’t have to. The base know exactly what she’s talking about.
I’d bet 5 bucks she brings up “free speech” as a defense in the next interview. The money donated was political speech. She shouldn’t have to reveal how she spent it. It’s not that big a stretch. It’s was almost inevitable that they’d extend that money=political speech idea to ludicrous lengths. If the Chamber doesn’t have to reveal who donated, why should she have to reveal how she spent the donations?

I don’t mind being sexist. Christine O’Donnell fits a few different stereotypes of women. Aside from the religious crap, we’ve all met women like her in a bar, and most of us have taken one home at least once…kinda dumb, nice enough, pretty, naive, and easy pickings after she’s had a few cocktails and compliments.
Hell, it’d be fun to bend her over a Satanic altar and tell her to babble all that Jesus crap while we fuck. In exchange, I’ll call her Senator while we do it. Good times.

@eemom:
is NOT the equivalent of discussions about GWB or Ronald Reagan being “evil or just stupid.” The overall concept is similar—but look at the words, and the condescending attitude they express.
I “just don’t sense a malicious streak” in Bush/Reagan?
“I don’t think” Bush/Reagan “understands” what the outcome of his policies would be? Really??
Bush? No. Reagan? Absolutely, as I said earlier. I’m willing to be disagreed with about it, but Reagan would (and I’m stealing this line from somewhere) give you the shirt off his back if you asked for it, right before—in his undershirt—signing legislation to take your unemployment away. Reagan and O’Donnell are EXACTLY the same politician to my mind. Cole’s said nothing about O’Donnell that I don’t think applies to Reagan except occasionally using the words “she” and “her.” Nothing.
For the record, here’s some actual sexism: I have serious trouble taking anything you say seriously because you put the word “mom” in your handle. My experience on the Web has conditioned me to believe that anyone who includes the words “mom” or “mommy” in their handle is always an abject moron.
We’ll wait until you can see the difference. (Hey, look! Condescension!)

I am mystified by the way in which pug-ugly ignorance trumps intelligence. (Please don’t interpret that as meanness—I’m actually quite pug-dog friendly!) Apparently, say a stupid or untrue thing with the right attitude and delivery, and you come out victorious over your informed, enlightened opponent, at least in the eyes of your followers. I had a student once who disappeared for about five weeks towards the end of the semester and then showed up to take the final. When she failed, she stomped out of the room, shouting, “Thanks for letting me not pass!” Oh, but the way she said it was supposed to be quite withering! It was not she who failed; it was me who somehow botched things for her. So Christine rolls her eyes after displaying her own ignorance and there will be some who cheer for her. Yes, Kuvasz #78, we are witnessing the C- brigade flouting their ignorance.
