Todd clings to an attempt to properly use a web browser, but in reality he doesn't grasp the concept of clicking "Post" once, or alternatively has no idea what that "Would you like to repost?" dialog even means. Who the fuck does, anyway?
Why is it that people who pay relatively the least in taxes, seem to bitch about them the most. The urban middle classes and especially upper middle classes are those that are hit the hardest by the alternative minimum and crap tax brackets. The marriage penalty tax is something that urbanites have to grin and bear when there are two income households. Yet, the urbanites take it in stride. Why? because the urbanites are dependent on the tax dollars ... and not for "welfare" like most of the rural people believe. It's because cities need infrastructure, and more importantly they need education in order to fill in the high demand jobs. In fact, it's gotten to such a point that there is a huge brain drain with respect to the rural areas of the country. People are leaving ruraland in DROVES, to find jobs where their college degrees are valuble in cities ... ie Seattle, New York, San Fransisco, and now the Southern cities like Atlanta and ugh ... Houston.
In places like Appalachia, a college degree can ostrisize from your family almost analogously as coming out of the closet, or so I've been told by one of my fellow former grad students. It's really that weird and that divided.
There is this weird assumption that rural lands believe the cities are sustained on welfare, when in reality those who live or have lived there know how really really hard it is to make money AND make a living. Poor crappy welfare neighborhoods are something that people try their damndest to avoid, and leave when given the opportunity.
I don't think the rural folk can grasp how gray and diverse the urban life is ... the dynamic of our jobs and our interpersonal relationships that draw on a spectrum of emotions, creeds, aggreements, and disaggreements. Ones religion has about as much to do with daily discourse as ones participation in rec basketball (I guess that's what I miss) Rural folk believe in this "liberal ideology". When historically, it may never have really existed. Liberals are really good at disagreeing amongst themselves and are in general agreement that they are not republicans. Republican minded people seem to like "leaders" and "agenda" and to "get things done" when they are truely seem to be buzz words for lets start a war. It's almost easier for them to have a few ideas, and "cling" to them than to try to wrap their mind around the diversity that is the fictitious "liberal agenda".
This is nonsensical.
blah blah blah. It was a moment in time, and it's over.
I cling to the knowledge that we will be faced with fewer posts like this in a few weeks.
so tired of this. so tired.
This morning I clinged to some sticky stuff on the Metro #26.
Clung.
Actually, you're EXACTLY right. I wonder what the reaction would have been if John McCain had said this in a VFW hall in Texas?
Josh Feit clings to an attempt at journalist to vent his frustrations, but he's still an idiot.

Bounce stops static cling so static won't stop you
You forgot snobbery and elitism, and assuming everyone from the rural country married their sister, Josh.
You forgot lattes.
Not that two wrongs make a right, but they say shittier things about us ...
What would the frustrations be, Josh? Maybe, uh, those things?

Congratualtions Josh, you're stupid.
@15 Yep, I pretty much deserved that. If I'm going to call somoene an idiot don't fuck up the post.
I cling to a belief that we actually have real elections ... but I'm not so sure ...
#18, it's all in good fun :).
Sure Josh, we don't feel like those institutions have ever failed us.
