Now it's back to just stuff where if I give them money, I get products in return. Like from the Gap or Archie McPhee.

For an anxious person, I really am extremely good at finding the silver lining in the clouds -- or, as Ma Ingalls would put it, and I would agree: "There's no great loss without some small gain."

So what I'm thinking about the inexplicable RAIN OF REPUBLICAN SHITBURGERS that was Election Day is: At least I won't be getting an anxious, hand-wringing, chickens-running-around-with-their-heads-cut-off money-begging email every seventeen goddamn seconds from Nancy Pelosi, Act Blue, DCCC, Wendy Davis, Jim Dean, Howard Dean, Joe Biden, Hillary Clinton, Cecile Richards, Planned Parenthood, Organizing for Action, and/or any of the randos involved in comms for any of these people or their orgs. It's been quieter in the old in-box, which is somewhat of a relief at this point, after months of this shit.
