Argh. Rage. [link] Cheney is requesting the Senate put an exemption for the CIA in an anti-torture bill basically saying "There might come a time when we really, really need to torture somebody. Really." Unbelievable.
Mal: Well, look at this! Appears we got here just in the nick of time. What does that make us? Zoe: Big damn heroes, sir.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.

Always Anti-fascist!
You go first, Mr. Vice President.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
Cheney is requesting the Senate put an exemption for the CIA in an anti-torture bill
Well, and really. When has the CIA balked at breaking the law in the pursuit of whatever it is they pursue? They don't need an exemption any more than they needed an exemption in all those "It is illegal to overthrow our government" laws in South and Central America.
Also, Dick, honey, where was this lovin' up the CIA back when Tenet was in charge? Don't think those guys don't notice that you blame them whenever something goes wrong.

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

I suppose if I ever met him in a dark alley, it'd make a handy excuse to kick him repeatedly in the balls. "It was necessary for national security! Honest!"

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
The administration (and neoconservatives in general) have been pretty anti-CIA recently, and have sought to take part of the CIA's mission away as punishment for the CIA not producing the intelligence the neocons wanted about Iraq's WMDs or about Soviet military capabilities in the '80s. (The neocons et al were trying to sell the big US arms buildup then, so they wanted the CIA estimates of Soviet military capabilities to be high. It turned out that even without this inflation, the CIA estimates were too high, but the neocons never seemed to like the idea of the CIA producing relatively unbiased intelligence.)

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
If you want to go that route, I'm sure Clovis would be more than happy to ghost-write it for you.
Can I jump up and down and say memememe get one of these too?
That reminds me, Clovis never friended me in LJ. I feel like cannon fodder. Or maybe zombie food.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Wow. Perkins too nice for Clovis. Who knew?
I just made a chiro appointment.
My PT wanted to adjust my neck on Tuesday, but he muttered something about me stroking out, and opted out.

If we can distract the Devilbunny from his world domination plans, sure!

Don't feel that way. Remember that Clovis is a very self-absorbed little evil rabbit, and constantly forgets to check who has friended him.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
Last night I saw episodes 6, 7 and 8 of "Trapped in a Closet", our generation's Ring Cycle. And, it. is. awesome.
Seriously, people, you must see.
