I love this quote...

[hsifeng]

"...watching conservatives mock liberals for being PC, is like watching the morbidly obese mock Weight Watchers for its system of points."

As someone who confronts her own 'whiteness' and the things that come with it on a regular basis, I gotta tell you that I loved this piece. Its strangely comforting to see that the view is equally cloudy on the 'other side' of the fence.

it took me a moment to ferret out the comment's meaning until I realized:

PC is the tool that liberals are using to try and correct what they consider is an untolerable problem (speech racism-thought connection) - and while akward and unwieldy at times, it's better than sitting in your own feces because you're too fat to wash your own arse.

Hey! I have no answer to that very good question. We have folks in town over the next couple of weekends, but we should get together sometime soon and 'do coffee' or some such... miss you!

[yoursacredkey.livejournal.com]

[hsifeng.livejournal.com]

Agreed! What you up to this week?

[yoursacredkey.livejournal.com]

[hsifeng.livejournal.com]

No problem sweetie; do you want to get together for tea at Teazer?

[yoursacredkey.livejournal.com]

sure! what day will be good for you?

[hsifeng.livejournal.com]

I would probably aim for later in the week (Wednesday/Thursday/Friday): Which is best for you?

[yoursacredkey.livejournal.com]

it just depends on what time is better for you... if its the early evening/late afternoon, i'm thinking friday.

[hsifeng.livejournal.com]

Early evening/late afternoon is what I had in mind. So, Friday works best for you?

[yoursacredkey.livejournal.com]

yeah definitely! what time?

[hsifeng.livejournal.com]

I was thinking 6:00ish - does that work for you?

[yoursacredkey.livejournal.com]

sure! teazers at 6pm friday? or somewhere else?

[hsifeng.livejournal.com]

Teazers works for me if it works for you? If they are overcrowded we'll find an alternate location...

[yoursacredkey.livejournal.com]

See you there!
