[lbo-talk] Jacobin debate up

[shag carpet bomb]

heh. i have  a weird habit of sometimes saying "yes sir" or "yes ma'am" and 
sometimes messing up on the gender. it always weirds out my 24 yo 
co-workers. but, fortunately, none of them have yet called me ma'am. 
instead, they are content to call me dog and, on occasion, tell me i sound 
like sarah palin. imma gonna take voice lessons soon. :)
