Our wings are not tired.

Pre-migraine. Why does it always take me so long to recognise the feeling?

Oh yuck, do what you must to stop it dead in its tracks.

Kat, what menonite mob?

I didn't see it, Cindy. But apparently Mennonites were having a hard time making ends meet so they "turned from Bibles to Bullets" and began running drugs. Violence ensued and the are no under investigation by the FBI.

All gleaned from the commercial.

Morning folks.

I'd like to acknowledge that Robin is a goddess.

Trust my rage

Every time I hear about how Bush looked into Putin's soul, I cringe. I've heard that statement repeated, and Bush's actual statement replayed, several times already this morning.

It's so laughable to me - as if Marshall Flinkman could look into Jack Bristow's eyes and see his soul.

how Bush looked into Putin's soul

Really? I skipped this morning's news. Why does this evoke for me an image of Bush pulling open a hopper in the back of Putin's head and peering in over the edge?

And, of all people, why would anyone expect Bush to be big with the interpersonal insight?

Why is Putin's soul in the news again anyway?

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

Why is Putin's soul in the news again anyway?

Apparently a vampire had it for the last 25 years. But then he got dusted, and it returned to Putin.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

Putin's soul is in the news to distract from tapes of Bush talking about smoking the Weed. Pay no attention to the fnords.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

Bush looked into Putin's soul

Can I just say how fucking upsetting it is for me to hear that our President is using his judgment on the fitness of other people's souls as a valid basis for international policy? I mean, yeargh. Gnah. No words. Aaargh.

(If I were Stitch, I'd have rolled myself into a little ball right now and knocked over half of our office.)

I'm not Stitch, and I'm still considering this as a course of action.

THis is exactly what I mean. It's so embarassing.

[Bush made the comment about looking into Putin's eyes and seeing his soul a few years ago. Since they are meeting again this morning, the news media has been replaying the tape as a set-up to today's event.

Besides the fact that Putin is a former KGB guy (hence my Jack Bristow comparison) and probably is fairly decent at hiding his soul from those who look into his eyes, it's such a goofy, high-school crush sort of thing to say.]
