Does it Count As "Breaking your Silence" if it's only been three days?

Never really thought I'd see a headline like that in Mother Jones.(Already tired of hearing about Tucker-The_Fucker, although I have to say, "mutually-assured destruction" doesn't really match my view of a healthy workplace...not that I feel sorry for him, either, but yikes.)
Also, Gallego's been sending an e-mail with a grammatical error in it, and that bugs me. It should be "I grew up poor. This country took a chance on me." or something else besides "Growing up poor, this country took a chance on me," which is what they sent out. Argh. That makes me wonder how much they pay the people who write this stuff and why it's not even as good as mine.

Hodgepodge as the life that spawned it, but...

I guess I will just post the usual sorts of things for my first Three Weeks posts.

-getting a conversation started with Grijalva's office turned out to be much easier than I expected. Cool. We're very glad he's a co-sponsor on The Social Security Restoration Act, which will raise asset limits for SSI recipients and end a marriage penalty.

_Orange Julius got a shoutout on Single Drunk Female yesterday...I sort of owe my life to them...glad to see that. The episode was about sharing(or not) I think. Found myself suprisingly attached to Carol/Bob and sad he moved out. Even though he has a point...kind of not surprised the daughter drinks. Nice to see mom smile a bit, though.
