Well, for her, that would be "always a little less than half empty." :-)

VERY good point! LOL

You know you are the Angry Left when even the Angry Left's newspaper calls you the Angry Left!

When you reach for a glass of wine (whine?) before you
even get your PJs off, that's alcoholism.

She agonized over sweat shop wages before buying that $40 purse.

Didn't stop her though.

Oh the humanity of these caring liberals.

If she were in Congress, I'm sure she'd introduce a bill for the US Government to pay the difference to the people she has oppressed.

My name is Maryscott O'Connor. (MSOC for short.) I am 37, married (to Adam Crocker) with a 6 year old son (Terry O'Connor).

Note, she's not Mrs. Croker,...she's Ms. Crocked is more likely!

Drink up babe...

My father, Lieutenant Terence Raymond Roach, Jr. of the Third Marine Division, was killed on February 8, 1968 at Khe Sanh, during the Tet Offensive. I was born 3 months later, on April 29, 1968.

Her math is as bad as her manners.

That's 2 and a half, not three. But in liberalspeak, three is a correct answer too as long as it makes you feel good about yourself.

Rage evokes applause, and she seems to live for that.

Her and Cindy Sheehan.

The Code Pink, MFSO, VFP crowd has a cultlike hold on her, constantly parading Cindy before groups that demand to see the "Angry Mom" curse out Bush. The cruel reality of this is that the Code Pink, MFSO, VFP crowd has stopped Cindy from properly grieving. She's held prisoner in the anger stage of grief by the Code Pink, MFSO, VFP crowd.

Applause is the reward for Cindy as long as she performs as directed. Some of the more wacko things she has said are perhaps not really her own beliefs, but lines she knows will earn applause. The beliefs of the Code Pink, MFSO, VFP crowd.

Recently, Cindy has broken out of it a little, distancing herself from Code Pink's inappropriate, strike that, vulgar protest at Walter Reed Army Hospital on Friday nights.

This isn't a recent observation either. I had two women, nurses to qualify for mental health cases both express their concern for her welfare last summer.

One was a organizer of the counter-Cindy rally and one had a child in Iraq. Both were decent enough that though they see Cindy's behavior as threatening to our troops welfare, they were decent enough to care about wher welfare.

But saw that she was kept from moving on to the next stage in grieving Casey's death. Both feared, as I do, what would happen if the Code Pink, MFSO, VFP crowd dropped her when and if she became a liability to their cause.

...children out of wedlock, children from multiple fathers, children with multiple mothers, children with different last names than their parents...

My observation is that the more hidious the crime and if it's a "family" dispute, with mom, dad, son, daughter involved, none of them will have the same last name.

I can't quite figure out how you do that, but next horid story involving "family", see if that's the case too. I'll bet it is.

Did I read this right? She started before sunrise and was still at it when her son came home from school?!!!

Oh jeez, I didn't pick up on that at first. So she's drinking before sunrise, still in her PJs when the kid comes home from school in the afternoon, still pounding down the Merlo.

Somebody please call Child Protective Services on this woman.

The Left has been "outraged" ever since conservatives started pointing out their last President's compulsive womanizing.

It gets worse, doc.

This is a reply she posted to her WaPo blog entry...

Can't really put together coherent thoughts right now.

Terry's (Terry is her 6 year old child) lying on the couch with a badly sprained knee -- it happened last night and he mentioned that he "hurt it," but he kept running around, so we didn't think anything of it.

This morning, it's swelled up in a frightening manner. I wanted to take him to the emergency room. Adam, (Adam is her husband the lighting tech, not a doctor) who's had more than his share of sprained everythings, said we should ice it, keep him off his feet and monitor the situation before going to the emergency room, as they would likely give him Advil and tell us to ice it and keep him off his feet...

(Besides, if she took her kid to the ER, she wouldn't be able to keep up with her blog and all the other online hate sites she belongs to.)

Now he's happily sketching away.. the kid is a prolific artist, lemme tell you. He drew a "girl whale" a while ago -- with long hair, "Like you used to have, Mommy."

(Before she hacked it off in a psychotic rage, on election night 2004?)

I love my kid. And, contrary to the impression the Post article gives, I DO NOT SCARE MY CHILD. In fact, he RECITES the Howard Beale speech with me.

(She's going to make her kid a mental case, too.)

Methinks Finkel did not pay close enough attention to my relationship with my child.

(Methinks he paid very close attention.)

Do you think their tirades are based upon their, to me at least, universal position of perpetual victimhood? It seems to me they have the common trait of being victims and the only way they'll ever improve is for a liberal government to give them money and 'make things right'.

["Powerlessness" is O'Connor's explanation. "This is born of powerlessness."]

Which has unleashed the seething rage of "the mindless primitive, more enraged and more inflamed with each new frustration.*"
