ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. - Never once mentioning President George W. Bush by name, or acknowledging that the former president endorsed his candidacy Tuesday, Mitt Romney spent the morning in Florida railing against President Obama for doing too little to solve the debt crisis he inherited from his "predecessor."

i'm taking a queer perspectives class and we had an assignment where we were to write an essay about our self and our identity.  the T.A. in the class decided to share with us hers and i thought it was a really (sad) but interesting story.  usually i dont do text posts or read them but i felt like i should share this:

Writing about myself should be the easiest thing for me to do! I have written so much about myself for classes, magazines, therapy....but I always seem to get a bit nervous when writing about who I am. I think my nerves come from the notion that whatever I write is a snapshot, a Polaroid candid of my being, that may disrupt the "Casey collection"  of photos each of you already has inside of your head. Strange, right? Well you all know I hate candid shots but here we go!

and:

The pilot in nowhere to be found, but it looks like he tried to make a makeshift shelter. His remains are most likely somewhere within a 20 miles radius of the aircraft, as it's at least 200 miles to the nearest town. Hopefully they can save it before the locals come and scrap it, as it's in relatively good shape.
