Huh. So we're bout to get hit with a bill for the hurricane.

Hey -- interesting article passed on by an English friend of mine: Where have all the goats gone?
(work-safe and also cruelty-free, it's about charity goats through an organization not unlike Heifer.org)

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
So, Yahoo reports that CBS and NBC will feature individual episodes that people can "buy." But instead of going through itunes or other means so that people can download the program, they are offering this through directtv. I think it is nonsensical. They would have a WHOLE lot more $$ if they tossed it on their websites a week or so after the show aired.

Having met Vincent Gallo, I think I can honestly say that the sperm thing is a piss take. He's pretentious, and kind of a dork, but he's not completely irredeemable.

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

It being a piss take doesn't make him redeemable in my book. It might mean he's not a racist elitist money-grubbing jackass, but that sort of pisstaking rates hugely low with me.
Ha ha ha I said a really funny thing where I pretended to be an asshole and people got their panties in a twist and then...
Whatev.
Unpleasant or disgusting. But still way over on >>>that>>> side of the scale for me.

Yeah, he's an 'artist'. Have you seen his films? He likes to provoke people.

So some of us button pushers are more feral, huh? I can work with that.
I remembered my lunch today.

And it works. Thing is, when he provokes people, they get to react. My reaction is one of revulsion - whether his statements are true or not, I find it horrible behaviour, and not by my lights redeemable.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

That dance involves a lot of finger wagging, doesn't it?

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
There is something hard-wired in all of us about interacting with things that predict food or sex or escape, even when that interaction does nothing to increase the chances of food or sex or escape.
Ah, so it may not be "hitting" the button so much as "hitting on" the button.
