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

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

Elaboration on the "troll" amendment.

Violence Against Women Act! I've spent all goddamn day in deposition about provisions of that act. I can never get away!

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

As women in today's patriarchal society, we can never escape violence.

Excuse me. I need to change for krav.

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 third annual rally to proclaim God's support for Bush's judicial nominees, sponsored by the Family Research Council, was held at Greater Exodus Baptist Church, an African-American congregation in downtown Philadelphia.

....

Greater Exodus Baptist Church is pastored by the Rev. Herb Lusk, a charismatic former tailback for the Philadelphia Eagles and one of Bush's staunchest backers among black clergymen. Lusk, who endorsed Bush from his church via video at the 2000 Republican National Convention, has been awarded more than $1 million in grants under the president's faith-based initiative. In Lusk's view, the central divide in American life is not racial or economic but religious. Decrying "discrimination against people of God," he bellowed: "My brothers and sisters, I will not go down without a fight!" The largely black audience jumped to their feet, cheering and clapping. "Be careful how you fool with the church!" Lusk thundered. "Don't fool with the church because the church has buried many critics. All the critics we have not buried, we're making funeral arrangements for!"

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

700 words in. I have no idea what the fuck I'm writing.

Our wings are not tired.

I'd take the 8888 pretty post number as a sign that your writing will rock. As always.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

It's totally in character for me to space like that (I really shouldn't leave the kitchen when cooking), but usually I get warned sooner!
Given that this is how I started my recent fire, I'm hugging my smoke detector tightly. I just have it on a bookshelf almost at the ceiling but not on the bracket due to the twitchy. That way I can move it to the floor when it goes off while I am cooking and move it back. Taking the battery out has led me down the path to sometimes forgetting to replace it.

Last week's Waking the Dead is disturbing me. The aquakiller is hot. I mean, it is disturbing me for a lot of reasons but those I expect.

Bonus Houseses tonight. I haven't seen the first either.

You're writing interesting shit, Allyson.

It never cease to infuriate me that I live in a society in which an something like the Violence Against Women Act needs exist. Goddamned stupid humans.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

I had a candle incident a while ago and I smelled the smoke and had the fire extinguished before the smoke alarm went off. Functionally, I have a steam alarm.
