The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

Oh good, Jess. There were definite sparks in the preview that held my interest, but it could still go either way.

Clinton angered by Hastert comments Saturday, 10:22 a.m.

Add former President Clinton to the list of those angered by statements made this week by House Speaker Dennis Hastert that it doesn't make sense to rebuild New Orleans.

Hastert, R-Illinois, has since backed off his comments, saying he does not want to see the city "bulldozed,'' as he had told a newspaper several days ago.

Today's Washington Post reports that Clinton was discussing New Orleans's dilemma when someone described the speaker's comments to him. Had they been in the same place when the remarks were made, Clinton said, "I'm afraid I would have assaulted him."

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

"I'm afraid I would have assaulted him."

I love the mix of aggression and demureness.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

"I'm afraid I would have assaulted him."

Someone please put these two in a room together? Please?

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

Why waste him on a blowhard like Hastert? I've got some other nominations, though.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

I think racism and classism are often intertwined.

Its seems like plenty of openly racist whites don't mind RICH black people so much. (Some, of course, hate them even more).

In this situation, though, I don't think its hateful manifestations of race and classism that are causing the problems. It's distain and dismissal for "those" dirty, lazy, loud, irresponsible, people that's proved so lethal. Oh "they" will be fine, we don't need to send in busses or flatbeds to take "them" out -- "they" always manage somehow.

Of course, once you've left a few thousand people to die it's hard to distinguishl disregard from outright hatred anymore.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Huh. I didn't realize the actor playing the interesting, charismatic lead in Slings and Arrows was Paul Gross from Due South.

Believe me, tens of thousands of Canadian fangirls did.

What is even happening?

Today's Washington Post reports that Clinton was discussing New Orleans's dilemma when someone described the speaker's comments to him. Had they been in the same place when the remarks were made, Clinton said, "I'm afraid I would have assaulted him."

Someone please put these two in a room together? Please?

Someone please lift the two term minimum.

move out and draw fire

Argh! Now I'm even crankier I can't watch it!

Someone please lift the two term minimum.

No! We'd still have lost Clinton after the impeachment crap, and we'd get a third term of El Buche.

FWIW, I don't think it's that Bush doesn't care about them because they are black, or because they are poor. They are simply other people, and it doesn't occur to him to care about other people.
