most likely - these people frustrate me. They don't see the problem with their scenerio's. Okay so maybe a HS grad doesn't automatically go on to college or a tech school - some people just don't for whatever reason that's their own - they get paid minimum way. So does that mean they should not able to survive day to day with at least the basics of human life? 5 years later are they still in that position - maybe we try to find out why. What if that HS grad is really a college grad and that's the only work they can get?
I mean really do these people never play the "What if" game?

I'm still very wary of any reality show family. It's marketing.
That said, the skeptic in me believes that the money is on LGBT over the message Duck dynasty is sending.
Yes, in this regard -- I am very jaded.

I am too - trust me, still don't like the show, never seen an episode. Didn't like how they were seemingly making fun of people, and by they I mean the producers, viewers and network.
But this apparently has been going on long before the whole duck dynasty thing. I think one of their family is gay(?)

It's not like the change is immediate. The Colbert Report will still be running through the midterms. How long can he carry on that ultra-conservative Republitard character without it going stale?
It will be interesting to see how long a leash CBS gives him.

Um since this is the Miami-Dade Supervisor of Elections, Penelope Townsley is an African American, I seriously doubt that this is a nefarious right wing plot to deny people their voting rights. What it really is a case of someone not understanding what the ADA actually means.

She's elected. That's how we roll in Florida for supervisors of election.
I am outraged not because of any voting right issues. I am outraged because she's clueless about ADA and what constitutes protected classes under the law. It's clear to me she is laboring under what is a common assumption about the ADA which, is that the law only provides accommodation for disabilities to the gross anatomy; wheel chair ramps, wide bathroom stalls with grab bars, that kind of thing. The ADA covers all disabilities physical, mental, seen and unseen. What Ms Townsley is displaying is able body privilege if you will. She just doesn't get disability.
You know I was kidding about the outrage, right?
