Typing naked is liberating.

This is the less important reason I support telework, something about which my mother knows just about everything; it was, and is even in retirement, her life's work and passion. People working from home can be very productive and increases employee satisfaction. Working naked at your desk is awesome. Some micro managers, however, don't appreciate the sort of freedom that bare skin provides.

Going back for a moment to the issue I previously posted about; it seems that the GOP didn't like being caught in what I will so eloquently describe as a "dick move," so they promptly removed the language "forcible rape" out of the exceptions in which abortion would be allowed to receive federal funding. Now it seems that they're trying to take away from women's right to an abortion in other ways, namely these things: (this is an excerpt taken from an email I received from MoveOn.org, and while this is a very liberal organization, they used objective resources to find this information)

Effectively ban abortion coverage in the new health insurance exchanges even if people pay for coverage with their own money.

Impose tax penalties on small businesses that pay for health plans that cover abortion and people who pay for abortion care.

Force the District of Columbia to impose all of the above laws, instead of letting the city decide its own laws.

Permanently ban abortion care for women insured by the government.

This is abhorrible behavior by members of the Congress that is supposed to represent the freedom and rights of ALL Americans. How is it okay for them to tell anyone how to spend their own money? I will spend every goddamn cent I have on whatever I so choose within my legal rights. Since abortion is still LEGAL in this country, I should be able to spend my hard-earned American bucks on it until my uterus falls out if I desire.

Apparently, in a nation full of Bible-thumpers, freedom isn't entirely all-inclusive. As long as Jesus says it's ok, no problem. Right? The only problem with that is, I don't recall the last time that any public figure claiming to follow Jesus had any clue as to what Jesus was trying to relay in his messages to human beings.

Anyway, I'm going to stop writing about negative things, and go sign this petition.
You should, too, especially if you're the proud owner of a uterus.

The exciting part about today is that it's Superbowl XLV!! GO STEELERS.
