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."

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

I mean, people clearly fucked up the handling of the complaint, but it seems clear that president-elect thought he could turn this whole situation to his advantage.
