I’ve been waiting to see “The Hot Flashes” since summer when I read a recap/preview on the Bitch Media blog.

Tonight, I have no tact, I’m paranoid and I don’t understand how collaboration works. So the gatekeeper decides that I do not get access to my elected official unless I explain myself to him first. This is why I hate that so many elected officials have gmail accounts that are screened by staff anyway. What’s […]
