So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

Brenda, I love the word frustrageon. It just sums up so much.

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

BTW - I'm sorry for my flippancy about NOLA and hell earlier on. It was kind of tasteless. I just tend to default to gallows humor. Not an excuse, but I am sorry.

Silence means security silence means approval

(Not, you know, that we've been having any issues related to repairing/replacing vulnerable structures that are key to the economic security of this whole neck of the woods or anything like that. Oh no.)

Butbutbutbut... TAXES! EEVL LIBERALS WHO STOLE SAINT DINO'S ELECTION! IN EYMAN WE TRUST!!!!!

I would like an initiative on the ballot here that says if the Big One happens Tim Eyman and John Carlson are required to apologize personally to the next of kin of those killed in the Alaskan Way Viaduct collapse and the 520 breakup. And the survivors too. And by apologize I mean they have to go to every person's residence, meet each person individually, and say how sorry they are that their greed and selfishness killed and maimed and put in harm's way.

The Superdome story makes me ill. and I really can't think of anyway it could have been prevented.

I'd sign it.

I'm not sure they know just how lucky we were in '01 to just lose buildings.

hip deep in pie

From Gawker:

What does surprise us: Just moments ago at the Ferragamo on 5th Avenue, Condoleeza Rice was seen spending several thousands of dollars on some nice, new shoes (we’ve confirmed this, so her new heels will surely get coverage from the WaPo’s Robin Givhan). A fellow shopper, unable to fathom the absurdity of Rice’s timing, went up to the Secretary and reportedly shouted, “How dare you shop for shoes while thousands are dying and homeless!” Never one to have her fashion choices questioned, Rice had security PHYSICALLY REMOVE the woman.

Angry Lady, whoever you are, we love you. You are a true American.

It's "& sup2 ;", without the spaces.

I’m responsible for my own happiness? I can’t even be responsible for my own breakfast! (Bojack Horseman)

Not that I don't agree with Angry Lady, but she seems to also be shopping for chi chi shoes.

Not that she's the Sec'y of State or anything, but, you know, if she's that mad and with that much disposable income, maybe she can be doing something better with her time as well.

Don't mind me, I'll just stand here with my hopelessly outdated class rage issues.

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