Lunch

How many of you get your lunch to go and how many of you bring your own lunches to work/school?

*EDIT: If you do bring your homemade lunch, what it is it?

Why the comparsion to Hitler?

Why do Republicans always compare something that they don't like to Hitler and/or the Nazis? Throughout Barack Obama's time in the WH, pukes have, sometimes literally, painted a Hitler mustache on the President. Gays and Gay rights advocates are continually compared with the Gestapo or the SS. Universal healthcare is almost always in the same sentence or paragraph as "Nazism".

Is it projection? Is it a manifestation of a deep desire in far-right fringe to become like Nazi Germany?

Do you like Indian food?

I LOVE it. Esp. Chicken Makhani or "Butter Chicken". http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Butter_chicken

I also LOVE Naan bread as well. Does anyone else have a taste for Indian cuisine?

PSA: Please don't give animals as Christmas gifts.

I know I am a day late, but I just wanted to say this. Please don't give kittens or puppies as gifts unless you know that the receiver is WILLING and ABLE to care for a pet. And regardless if they are willing and able, DO NOT spring it on them as a surprise UNLESS you know that they really, really want a furry or feathered or scaly friend.

I don't mean to come across as a Grinch, but too many furbabies end up at shelters over the holidays due to this very thing.

Passenger Booted from Flight After Meltdown over ‘Merry Christmas’ Greeting

Source: Mediaite

Just when you think the War of Christmas was won…the Grinch rears his ugly head.

The new front opened at New York’s La Guardia Airport, where an American Airlines crew had the audacity to decide to wish passengers a Merry Christmas on Christmas Eve. One passenger doth protest, however, and was eventually thrown off American Airlines Flight 1140 to Dallas after taking serious offense to the holiday greeting.

The situation unfolded as the unnamed passenger–traveling alone–was wished a “Merry Christmas” as he and other passengers boarded the plane, to which the curmudgeon reportedly said angrily to one of the female attendants, “You shouldn’t say that because not everyone celebrates Christmas.”

This is getting so old. Like one commenter said, if a simple greeting sends you into a rage, then you must have it pretty easy. Most people have real problems.

Who do you like better?

Rachel Maddow or Keith Olbermann?

I like Rachel, but I don't think that she quite has the "go for the jugular" that KO had. I also feel that she is held back a little bit by NBC higher ups.

I really, really miss the KO and his countdown format. Also, the "worst person" segment was not to be missed.
