Don't say sadist like it's always a bad thing.
OK. Let me try that. "Some sadists are not Physical Therapists."
Hey! That is true.
Buffy. When I saw you stop the world from, you know, ending, I just assumed that was a big week for you. Turns out I suddenly find myself needing to know the plural of 'apocalypse.'

one of the options was electoral college, and one person turned in a three-paragraph rant about how the electoral college is completely unfair and undemocratic. Never seen that much profanity on math homework before. He did have the correct answer buried in there, and it amused me enough in the middle of a really long night of grading that I gave him full credit.
A mathy ranter after my own heart!

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Hmm... at least one Times reporter had problems wiht Judy Miller and her overreliance on government sources as far back as 2000.
Craig Pyes, a former contract writer for the Times who teamed up with Miller for a series on al Qaeda, complained about her in a December 2000 memo to Times editors and asked that his byline not appear on one piece.
"I'm not willing to work further on this project with Judy Miller," wrote Pyes, who now writes for the Los Angeles Times. He added: "I do not trust her work, her judgment, or her conduct. She is an advocate, and her actions threaten the integrity of the enterprise, and of everyone who works with her. . . . She has turned in a draft of a story of a collective enterprise that is little more than dictation from government sources over several days, filled with unproven assertions and factual inaccuracies," and "tried to stampede it into the paper."
This reporter put his finger on what was wrong with Miller's pre-war WMD reporting.
Jailed reporter, Times thrashed over missteps

Dear G'sA,
NOT FAIR!
bitterly, me.
I think I am hormonal. Excuse me while I spiral into a ridiculous self-pity thingymabob in my head wherein I ignore the horrendous things happening in fictional characters' lives and focus only on pretty men being occasionally nice but more importantly just around.

This will probably get me some meany-points. The last couple of GA's have left me thinking "Another prime-time soap."

Huh. The Chicago White Sox are going to the World Series.
Bastards.
Also, people are honking horns and setting off firecrackers. This is the North side, people!

Silence means security silence means approval
The White Sox have won the AL pennant.
There's going to be a World Series in Chicago for the first time since 1959.

Why would that be mean, Gus? They acknowledge that it's a prime time soap.
In fact, that's what I like about it!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
The last couple of GA's have left me thinking "Another prime-time soap."
The last couple? Didn't you watch any of the ones before?
