The Political & The Personal

[heidi]

The Political:

After calling for a constitutional amendment against same-sex marriage without once mentioning the dreaded words "gay" or "lesbian," President George W. Bush ended on a conciliatory note: "We should also conduct this difficult debate in a manner worthy of our country, without bitterness or anger. In all that lies ahead, let us match strong convictions with kindness and goodwill and decency." This reminds me of Dame Edna Everage, who, after saying something horribly cruel about her bridesmaid Madge Allsop, habitually adds, "I mean that in a nurturing and caring way."

Oh I love this! This is the grade level I'm supposed to be writing for at work. Seriously. I do "public information" for a state government agency. They WANT us to write to a 7th grade level. Actually they often want us to write to a 4th grade level, but I'm not sure I can do that (anymore) :)

Mine was grade six. I need to stop posting in short sentences. They're all choppy. I must stop it now. Or maybe tomorrow. I don't know. I'll think about it.

Now I'd be down to grade two. Will now stop spamming other's LJs. Sorry, Heidi!

Ahahaha, I cannot do it because I am friends-locked. This is a good thing, because Isuspect that my Fleisch-Kincaid level is somewhere around 2. :D

Out of idle curiosity, why are you saying, "wotcher, stormcrow"?

OT: Emailing problem

Heidi,

Every email address I've tried for you seems to forward on to your Yahoo address, and I get a rejection message that says you're over quota.

Did you get my last email at any of my attempts?

Awww. I got 5th Grade. *Pouts*. Just because I don't use big long words doesn't mean I can't. I want to eviscerate someone! See? That was a big one!
