I was lured out of self-imposed exile -- after eight months being of being logged out, lurking occasionally when I would hear that the place was in meltdown -- by something I read that was so over the top, I [i]had[/i] to post. The thread is now, thankfully, locked.

If Obama gets the nomination, I'm going to do everything in my power to log off DU once and for all -- but not out of spite or because I'm a sore loser. On the contrary, I am fully prepared f... http://journals.democraticunderground.com/Sapphocrat/16 Wed, 13 Feb 2008 01:18:25 The "I'm voting for Obama because he's sexy / he's cool / I want a rock star" threads are all a joke -- from, I expect The Site That Shall Not Be Named.

Plainly put, I don't get the reassurance at all that Obama listens -- at least not to anyone other than his own advisers. Don't flame me for making t... http://journals.democraticunderground.com/Sapphocrat/14 Sun, 10 Feb 2008 18:41:12 1. You're going to get all the change you want whether the next president is Obama, Huckabee, or a houseplant.

2. "Hope" is a not a platform. "Hope" doesn't mean jack on its own. "Hope" is meaningless without a plan of action.

Frankly, I'm sick to death of hearing that argume... http://journals.democraticunderground.com/Sapphocrat/12 Mon, 10 Dec 2007 14:06:58 Stop wasting precious time actually watching Bush press conferences!

Mods, I understand that you may see this as calling out another DUer, or continuing an ongoing discussion in a new thread, but I promise you, that is not my purpose here.

I was sitting on the linoleum floor of our L-shaped kitchen at the ranch, playing with pots and pans as any two-year-old would, when my mother came in from the family room, where the television was, with one hand to her face, wearing a look of pain I will never forget.
