Nice of you to speak to me again, even ...Hey Sarah! Nice of you to speak to me again, even though you're still just as badly in need of a Dale Carnegie refresher course as you have been since I met you.<br /><br />W/r/t #1: I was just going off Don Bankston's reply to Art Pronin's FB post, so correct him while you're at it.<br /><br />W/r/t #2: Glad to hear it about Bernie, but that'll be a short-term gig (as you well know, with your knowledge of politics). Back to Fort Bend after that? I would think with all your celebrity status you could do better. <br /><br />W/r/t #3: I didn't say you were a dumb young girl who knew nothing of politics; I said you were young and dumb and knew nothing of politics (which isn't sexist in the least). The fact that you ran everyone off from Amy's campaign was the proof. Let's also remember that I apologized for saying that at some point. I believe it was shortly after your Bill Maher appearance, and you refused to acknowledge it. So really, I'm kind of at a loss as to why I should be concerned about anything you say about me.<br /><br />Why, for example, should I care if you repeatedly accuse me of being sexist without any evidence to show for it?<br /><br />W/r/t #4: I don't get to watch Louisiana television, and don't watch much MSNBC (or any TV, for that matter) but I'll look for the reports online. I won't look very hard for them, though; really, your opinions just aren't that interesting. There may be men or women somewhere fantasizing about your work for all that I know; don't count me as one.<br /><br />My blog traffic is remarkable, thanks for noticing (even if you got it wrong). You -- or anyone else -- can verify it via Technorati, or BlogShares or a variety of other sources. But alas, mentioning you actually doesn't drive much of any traffic here. It may elsewhere, which must be why your ego is still so over-inflated. Honestly, you've got a real future as an actual politician -- and not a grunt worker -- as long as you can maintain that level of narcissism.<br /><br />'Someone my age' is ageist. As someone who once posted, to the effect, that "old people vote, so that's why I'm back on Facebook", you seem blissfully unaware of your own talents for insults that end in '-ist'. Or maybe still, just too impressed with your own capacity for ad hominem. It's unfortunate to see you haven't matured, politically speaking, in the past four years.<br /><br />That's me removing the apology I extended, which you ignored, about your political wisdom. Your comment above is the evidence.<br /><br />Hey, I'll cop to 'weird'. Out and proud. It was a little too chilly today to froth, though.<br /><br />Come back anytime; I enjoy the banter!

The last time you talked about me onli...Hey Perry,<br /><br />The last time you talked about me online, apparently you said, "it's a shame Sarah clings to an old grudge". That's why I was so surprised to find out about a bunch of weird stuff you said about me here today. I say it's weird considering I haven't spoken to you (or about you in public) for four years. Here are some corrections:<br /><br />I didn't work for JBE's campaign in Louisiana. I turned out voters who typically vote Democrat with a union and API non-profit coalition. I tend to think that people can make up their own minds when we are just talking about Medicaid expansion in the South, where it's a life or death issue.(Not as fun as purity politics, I know, I know.).<br /><br />I'll be meeting with at least two of Bernie's state directors after I return to Houston for the holidays. Keep fantasizing about my next job with Hillary, though. I've gone on MSNBC and disparaged her at least 3 times in the past year. I guess you missed that part of 2013's 15 minutes. I'll have a few more interviews coming out in the next week or so here in LA too, maybe you can catch up on more of my beliefs then?<br /><br />I blocked you after I logged into Amy Price's campaign email once and read some really sexist emails you sent about me just being a dumb young girl who didn't know about politics and to not listen to me. That's why my partner blew you off on my behalf when you tried to mention me for blog hits in 2013.<br /><br />But corrections are for blogs that people actually read. I only know about this because my poor Mom has a Google Alert on my name and had to read your sexist, weird, frothing about me today. Back to blocking you. Please try to drive traffic to your blog with stuff you know about, not attacks on people you have spoken to less than 10 times in this life and who don't bother you. It's really sad for someone your age.<br /><br /><br />Sincerely,<br /><br />Sarah SlamenSarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17456368431592263587noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3901123.post-69014045590169812232015-11-22T11:58:33.927-06:002015-11-22T11:58:33.927-06:00Per your post, we talk regularly about the abysmal...Per your post, we talk regularly about the abysmal Latino turnout in Texas voting, but what about the poor whites here?
