I don't frelling believe this!!!
There once was this woman...
Intelligent.
Attractive.
Fun to talk to.
We really hit it off. Then something happened, and she kinda disappeared from my life.
Now, a year later, she e-mails me that Rush Limbaugh piece of crap about the WTC victims getting more money in compensation then the spouses of soldiers killed in combat.
Arrgh!
And the most aggravating thing is that I don't have the facts at hand to reply to her e-mail. Anyone know the "essay" in question?

1. My uncle sent me this same garbage the other day.
I am f-ing sick of Rush and his anti-entitlement garbage. I didn't know that employees at the WTC had made an oath to give up their lives for their country.

7. I hate to ask this..
but what exactly is so bad about the comments she made? My sociology teacher mentioned something about this around a month ago--said she NEVER agrees with Rush (she's a socialist;), except on this issue. I don't think people are upset that the WTC victims got something for the deaths...They are upset that the families of US soldiers get SO LITTLE. I agree. I think the widow of every soldier needs to get enough to draw a pension from, $150k at least...and free college education for the soldier's children. They deserve better than they are getting under Dubya.

2. Tell her to stay the heck out of your life
and take her right wing drivel with her...

I wouldn't waste my time with her.

3. What I can't believe...
Is that you're using curse words from Farscape. AND that I've seen enough episodes of that show to recognize it as such. Next I'll be referring to DU as the Democratic Scoobies or something else related to my current Buffy obsession. I need help.

Oh, and as for the email, just never talk to her again. She's a pod person now. She's infected.

4. The funny thing is...
She never was before. This really sucks, because she was a wondeful person.
As for the Farscape thing...hey, what can I say? I'm a fan.

5. Hell's bells
She must be on the same email chain as my stepson. He's started sending the most noxious crap over here...it's like he's not even the same person he was two weeks ago.:grr:

6. Did you ever talk politics with her?
Sounds like she's just trying to bust your chops.

Ignore it, you won't change her mind.

8. Snopes says the story is basically true
http://www.snopes.com/inboxer/outrage/military.htm
but begs the question, "Annnnnnnnd?"

Also, if the version she sent has the stuff about Congressional pensions tacked on to the end, this is refuted elsewhere at Snopes.
