Yes, it's terribly simple. The good guys are always stalwart and true, the bad guys are easily distinguished by their pointy horns or black hats, and, uh, we always defeat them and save the day. No one ever dies, and everybody lives happily ever after.

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

That sound you just heard? Was my cousin exploding in rage and frustration in Sioux Falls.

Send her an e and let her know that I'm channeling my gratitude in her direction.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

As opposed to "Come to our back-water polygamous town!" where they would do the exact opposite.

Bag the crypto. Say what is on your mind.

I do not want to be this close to a "Gus sighting" and an abortion debate.

For the record ... it wasn't me. I wasn't there. However, I will take the deduction.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

FOX:"All-Out Civil War in Iraq: Could It Be a Good Thing?" >[link]

A blogger says, "I seem to remember that any mention of a civil war in Iraq by a Democrat was grounds for being declared a traitor and giving comfort to our enemy just a little while back."

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

Sarameg, my mind is boggling at the thought of how small the population of SD is. I'm so used to big cities.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

That news item makes me ill on behalf of all the women in South Dakota (and, no doubt, eventually the other 49). Thank God both my senators voted against both Roberts and Alito, though this means I can't even call their offices and bitch them out about it, and I know from sorry experience that politicians in other states tend to not give a shit when they get angry calls and letters from outlanders.

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

aka "The artist formerly known as Corwood Industries."

The snotty way that my Senators have responded to my emails and letters indicates that they give less than a shit about the concerns of my particular blueberry in this sea of tomato soup that is Texas.
