It might also be interesting to those science geeks who don't write science fiction.
And people who want to build rocketships.

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

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
Wheeeee!
The boss says we can go home early, today!!!

Yay, Allyson! My boss just approved me taking tomorrow off and she's already told me that the other 1 1/2 PTO days I still have can be taken in the first part of January "unofficially," so I won't be losing them.
Interesting comment from former Senator Alan Simpson re: the potential impact on Washington from the Abramoff case from the Washington Post:
Alan K. Simpson (R), the former Wyoming senator who was in Washington during the last big congressional scandal---the Abscam FBI sting in the late 1970s and early 1980s, in which six House members and one senator were convicted -- said the Abramoff case looks bigger. Simpson said he recently rode in a plane with one of Abramoff's attorneys, who told him: "There are going to be guys in your former line of work who are going to be taken down."

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Huh. Just got another $100 in gift points. "Outstanding Performance." Need to go browsing again.
Sadly, I'm even dizzier than when I was up before. Anyone want to bring me a chai latte from Coffee Bean? I think that would cure me.
Theo, that's so terrible. I skimmed your friendslist to look (I'm nosy like that), and I'm speechless, but glad to see the outpouring of sympathy and support she's getting in LJ.
Frank, that bites. But on the upside, the Buffistas get to vicariously car shop with you.
Allyson, yay.

The poll found that 22% think Saddam was behind the 9/11 attacks.
Proving that if someone says something to you enough, you just might start believing 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

Oh, hell, Theo.
Crap. Crap. Crap. I know her IRL. Crap. Crap.

B popped up on IM last night, but was too quickly gone before I could squee and say 'hi' to everyone.

"Fuck Western ideologically-motivated gender identification!" Sulu gasped, and came.
So very, very appalled by Theo's friend's news. Dear God. That puts life's woes into perspective.
Much envy for the mini F2F-having.
Damn, Trudy, did anyone ever tell you how very hot you are?
