And there's SO much more! Like
I guess we now know there's one person out there who actually liked the LoEG movie.
Buffy: So how'd she get away with the bad mojo stuff? Anya: Giles sold it to her. Giles: Well, I didn't know it was her. I mean, how could I? If it's any consolation, I may have overcharged her.

Literary Buffistas 3: Don't Parse the Blurb, Dear.
There's more to life than watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer! No. Really, there is! Honestly! Here's a place for Buffistas to come and discuss what it is they're reading, their favorite authors and poets. "Geez. Crack a book sometime."

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

The artist formerly associated with cupcakes.
I actually don't want to spoil it because it's so outrageous, but I did put a post-it there for Jilli.
claps hands in glee
See, going into this knowing it's cracktastic and omgwtfvampires is perfect. I think I will plan a long evening of pink fizzy drinks and a hot bath to accompany reading it.

“Not dead yet!”
The librarians will especially love this, but I think it's just overall coolness, a librarian's response to a parent's challenge of Uncle Bobby's Wedding

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
That was awesome. Thanks for linking, Barb. I'm going to share it myself.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
I am heartened and uplifted for the whole day Barb, from reading that wonderful letter. Thank you so much for posting the link.

Woe to the fucking wicked.
It's interesting that this is banned books week. I was/am considering challenging the shelving of a book at the local library [link] . I think it is more appropriately shelved with adult political humor. My thinking is that it's, well, mean. It's not that it's supporting ideology with which I disagree, but that the attacks and monster-ization of identifiably real people makes it inappropriate for the Children's section.
But I don't know. I support the right of the book to be available. I support the idea of children learning about different viewpoints. ::sigh::

“Not dead yet!”
You're not saying it needs to be removed, Debet. I see your dilemma, though. On the one hand, I would tend to agree with you about where it needs to go, on the other, especially given the experiences we've had in the schools here in Jacksonville, the kids with parents who will approve of that book have already had those ideas indoctrinated into them and it's not going to be telling them anything they haven't already heard and the kids whose parents fall on the other side of the fence, tend to go to their parents and say, "This is stupid, what's going on?"
So...

You could buy that book I've seen on kos.."Why Mama Is A Democrat" (We like to share,iirc.) But this is also possibly the source of our party's infidelity tradition as well.

And here I could've sworn Republican politicians were the ones screwing interns and assuming wide stances.

Republicans screw America while they're at it.
