9. That's been my thing too

Some stuff that gets said is so cravenly idiotic or devoid of fairness and reason that I just can't ignore it. That's where I get into trouble.

and I've noticed since his equality announcement and recent favorable poll numbers the desperation grows.

Not just desperation. A total lack of honesty and perspective has been creeping up too. I just had a conversation with someone still doing the "Obama talked down to the CBC" routine, something that just about everyone in the universe has declared a half-assed and truly cynical attempt to drive a wedge between the president and the black Reps in Congress -- almost none of whom fell for it. Add onto the fact that this "issue" is also more than 8 months old at this point and you'd have to be beyond desperate to keep trying to breathe life into it.
