DUmmy know-it-all nadinbrzhzhzhski spins a little bouncy tale. See if you can tell its purpose. (Hint: It has nothing to do with Wisconsin.)

So I went to the starbucks near where my sis lives
she lives inland, pretty red...
So I am working on my IPAD on a novel... and lady comes over. I'm wearing a red T-SHIRT...
"Is that about Wisconsin?" Low, almost conspiratorial.
"Yes."
:THANK YOU!"
She is a local teacher, and as she put it our unions are next... and she is right.
So talked a little about organizing and all that.
Remember this is a very red area of town.
I was surprised.
http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=439x611548Got it? Actually, there are two answers that give you full credit. First, know-it-all wants the DUmmies to envy her for allegedly owning an iPad. Second, and maybe even more important, know-it-all wants the DUmbasses to realize that she is so supremely intelligent, she's working on a novel. A novel! Yes, I know it will never be published. In fact, it doesn't even exist. Oh, and yes, it's all unlikely, since she's told us she's unemployed and Mr. know-it-all is a lousy provider, but it was time to be sure the DUmmies were in their proper inferior places.

14. Just a red shirt? No Wisconsin-specific verbiage or symbology?
I'm surprised - you have a remarkably perspicacious clientele at your local java emporium...
DUmmy petronius dares to question know-it-all nadin's truthiness!

15. Yeah, but nad, I really think it may SEEM like more to us because we're focused
on it and notice those who are == kind of like the new car thing - you get a new car and suddenly notice how MANy like them are on the street.
I agree some are awakening, but not as many as I'd think by hanging out here and watching/listening to the 'progressive' media. I'm shocked when, if I broach the subject, people just blow it off, pffft, we've got enough to worry about here in our state, I can't be bothered with what's happening in Wisconsin/Ohio/Libya/Egypt. Absolutely instantly makes my blood pressure skyrocket. I want to SHAKE them and scream at them! I'm sure that would be helpful.
DUmmy gately brags about his lunacy, oblivious to the fact that admiring the iPad and feeling awe at know-it-all's novel are the purposes of this thread.

2. Starbucks has been firing union organizers including here in Omaha
In the past DUers didn't seem to mind that. Things sometimes change very fast.
There's a deleted subthread where another DUmmy mentioned this, and the condescending nadin welcomed him to her "i**y" list.

6. Trust me, they are not my favorite
lousy coffee, expensvie coffee, lousy working conditions and no unions... plus they have been trying to drive my LOCAL coffee shop out of bidness for YEARS.. alas in some places it is only them or mickey Ds... oy what a choice. At least they got wifi
Wifi! Get it, DUmbass? Wifi! You're supposed to be talking about her iPad, not a lousy coffee shop union.

3. Atta girl, my dear nadin!
I'm not a bit surprised. Even red communities usually have a few enlightened citizens...
And then the CalPig went back to her vibrator.

9. I hope it does not get there
it is not romantic. But if they push enough it will. We are at a crisis the likes we have not seen in living memory.
Finally!! DUmmy TBC is slow, but finally, at last, someone notices the whole purpose of DUmmy nadinbrzhzhzhzhski's thread!

16. Is it difficult to work on the iPad? Especiallly to work on a novel?
She has an iPad, DUmbasses! She's working on a novel, idiots! She has money! She's smarter than you!
