Buffy: So how'd she get away with the bad mojo stuff? Anya: Giles sold it to her. Giles: Well, I didn't know it was her. I mean, how could I? If it's any consolation, I may have overcharged her.

Now tagless for your comfort.

Yes, how did you know?

Heh. Didn't read the report, I just kind of figured.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

ION not-of-this-world, NASA says it will send people to the Moon to build a base sometime in the next 10-15 years.

Hmmm.... I'm getting hungry for Tang and Space Food Sticks....

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Moonbase! Suh-weet! (eta: but they said 2020 at the latest, I can't take that to the bank?)

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

Yes -t-- that is a pretty apt description of my boss.

Superweak, Sophia.

Woe to the fucking wicked.

ita, thanks!

But the authors of the new study used different methods of statistical analysis from those in an earlier one that was widely publicized, making direct comparisons difficult.

It what where now?

Challenging earlier findings, two studies from the Heritage Foundation reported yesterday that young people who took virginity pledges had lower rates of acquiring sexually transmitted diseases and engaged in fewer risky sexual behaviors.

This is another example of the Neocons blatant disregard for truth. The study is a misrepresentation of the data (this 'study' is based on the same data as the earler studies). It's a dirty stinking lie that could never be published in a legitimate journal. But it won't matter. These lies will be repeated over and over again. That's why the scum at the Heritage Foundation cooked them up.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."

The study is a misrepresentation of the data (this 'study' is based on the same data as the earler studies).

Shouldn't it be called a meta-analysis, if it was only a re-analysis of somebody else's data? Or, a meta-non-analysis, which is a more accurate description of what these people actually did.

I'm in agreeance with Rick that telling lies about science is bad and, let me check, I think sends Christians to hell. I mean, the scientists know they're lies, and that means at least some of the public policy people will know they're lies, but the number of people who won't know they're lies, and the number of people who know and don't care, makes me want to throw things.

Like, glass test tubes, or HCl, or neurotoxins.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Thanks, Brenda!

Does he get it logically, that he's screwing up recovery? What I mean to ask is, is it a battle between head and heart and heart wins?

Not him, but me (and others at the centre) -- there's a lot of love there too. If you told me it was between me going into the office or not, it'd be easier (though not effortless, I still have problems) to take care of myself.

Maybe if you don't admit you're invulnerable, the world won't notice.
