Election Day: Mama Drama Edition
I thought I’d wrap up electioncoverage with this delightful “dose of enlightenment” featuring one of my very favorite threads. The rapid pace with which this conversation devolved must’ve set some kind of record. And with Thomas’s admitted cluelessness as the backdrop, it’s almost like watching daytime TV. Discussions like this are why people cancel their cable subscriptions and “watch” the internet now. Why pay to see Judge Judy yell at people when you can watch a loving-yet-ferocious mamabear attack someone for calling her out on mommyjacking online? (Obviously R. is the submitter here.)
That’s not to say I ever hoped people would squabble over a concept that originated on the blog. I didn’t. But reading Darlene’s comment and thinking to myself, “Ugh, you have to know about the Electoral College because you have kids?! That’s why?” and then reading the following exchange *was* pretty entertaining. Darlene must have it out for R., right? Talk about a nation divided. I do love some goodmamadrama.
Speaking of which, how ready is everyone to get back into regular posts around here? For those of you thinking that it’s time, I’m with you! It’s been hard to get back into the swing of things with the hurricane, election, and a bad cold messing up my “flow,” but after the Hurricane Sandy post goes up (this weekend or Monday), we’ll be able to laugh at more standard submissions again. I’ve never been more ready, especially after staring at pictureslikethis for three weeks. My eyes still haven’t fully recovered.
