Also there is the ranting and the waving of fists at the heavens and the snarling under her breath.

Angel: He is dead. Technically, he's undead. It's a zombie. Connor: What's a zombie? Angel: It's an undead thing. Connor: Like you? Angel: No, zombies are slow-moving, dimwitted things that crave human flesh. Connor: Like you. Angel: No! It's different. Trust me.

She's never content with a single interjection. She gets wound up and it takes her several paragraphs to come back down. Sometimes there's sputtering. Pres. Bush is often a catalyst, though cruelty and inhumanity of any stripe can set her off.

Trust my rage
Susan - how fast is the horse moving when the Hero grabs it? I'm asking because I would assume that grabbing the woman by the arm would require some movement to work (or at least it did whenever Legolas pulled someone onto his horse) but if the horse is moving too fast, I would think grabbing the reins could really stop the horse short.
I should not watch SotU tonight, right? Usually I like to watch, just to see what's up, but I suspect this year it will just make me angry.

I have watched all of them since I was a child, but the last time I nearly threw heavy objects at the television. This and I scared the children by screaming BULLSHIT! Still, I feel like I should.
Stop me please! It can lead to no good.

I haven't watched a SotU since 2000. Don't figure I will again until at least 2009.

Not very--a fast walk. The rider isn't planning to pull the woman onto the horse, just grab her and force her to walk/run away from where she is.

I'll wait and read the text. I'll be less likely to shoot at the computer if I don't have to look at the smarmy face delivering it.

I can count on Jon Stewart to replay the highlights, right?

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

He's been my SotU source for ages now.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I am conflicted about the SotU. I'm kind of appalled with myself that I didn't know it was tonight until this morning. I don't want to watch, really, but feel that I Should. As a person who tries to be an informed citizen. Maybe I'll start with In A Fix or something and switch over at the commercial, see how it goes.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
I am ignoring the SotU and watching Eddie Izzard in its place. This has the added benefit of keeping me sane whilst I deal with IRS crap.
