I hate it when PR people tell reporters what they can and cannot report on. Good for Shaun Boyd for still reporting it, even thoough Romney's handlers told her not to question him about Akin.

That is pretty gutsy - to say what questions were off limits. 
Good job.

And Fuck Romney for trying to sweep issues under the rug - you are running for president - you don't get to call every shot.
You do not get to tell the American people what is and what is not an important topic.

Ryan Drewrey exactly! Not until you're president and can throw people out of the press pool for asking questions you don't like answering. THEN you can control the flow, just like in China!

So, I asked Andrew Tamm, who filled my Stream with a hundred (sarcasm there) animated gifs and cat pictures to remove me from whatever Circle he has me in where he posts the animated gifs and cat pictures. It was either that or unfollow him and I didn't see any reason to unfollow him.

I'm shutting down Google+ for the night and quite possibly for the weekend. Why? This stupid #gifwars thing people are so proud of. This Adam Black guy said he doesn't like gifs and now everyone is mass trolling him. Having been mass trolled like this I can relate to him easily enough. Have an opinion and the collective might of Google+'s lower class denizens jump on a bandwagon. I just saw a post where someone wanted to jump on board and had to get clarification she was tagging the proper Adam Black. She wasn't even connected to him ! Nor was she a part of the original discussion. She just wanted to follow the herd. When I called her out of it she claimed, "one gif doesn't make a troll." Perhaps not, but she's contributing to a larger troll effort. One straw doesn't break the camel's back, but thousands will. So, tonight, Google+ disgusts me. It probably will tomorrow as well. And possibly Sunday. I gave up Google+ for two months this spring
