Land of the spree, and the home of the knave!
Damn it! You know what? I'm sick of this crap. I'm sick of being the guy who eats insects and gets the funny syphilis. As of this moment, it's over. I'm finished being everybody's butt monkey!

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

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 MRO (Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter) has emerged from the far side of Mars and everything looks good.
eta: Yay! They've confirmed it has successfully entered orbit.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
That's the very site that told me my passport wouldn't be arriving until after my trip. So I called and upgraded my service, but it's not updated online yet.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Why aren't doctors magicians? I mean, really.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Ugh, ita. I was thinking the same thing earlier, after someone I know got yet another description of what's wrong, but neither why nor what to do.
In news about me, it's 65 here, supposed to be low of 45 tonight. What do I wear out? I was considering a t-shirt and denim jacket because it's been so gorgeous, but not if it's going down to 45! Maybe I'll wear a light sweater and the same jacket.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
I like the sound of instant runoff elections where you vote for more than one candidate. I think it could open things up a bit.
Australia effectively has that. In the House it doesn't really open things up that much. We do occasionally get an independent voted in, but it's rare and they don't do much. What does allow minor parties some standing is that our Senate has proportional voting. You don't have to win to get in, you just have to represent a sufficient proportion of the State. You don't get this in the US Federal government. Every election - each House seat, each Senate seat, the Presidency - has exactly one winner. It doesn't leave room for minority parties.
Though I remain a fan of preferential voting too.
