And that's the end of the movie? There's no...moral that maybe declaring martial law might be bad? How chillling! "GOD wants us to be right!"
Jayne: Captain, can you stop her from bein' cheerful, please? Mal: I don't believe there is a power in the 'verse that can stop Kaylee from being cheerful. Sometimes you just wanna duct tape her mouth and dump her in the hold for a month.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
No, see, because declaring martial law allowed him to "cut through the red tape" and end poverty! Facism is just so much more efficient that way, you know?
According to IMDB, it was producedby William Randolph Hearst. Not terribly surprising. (More interesting is that the studio apparently deliberately held back its release until 1933, to avoid influencing the election. So the film came out about 2 months into FDR's presidency.)

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I sprained my finger.
And kicked three guys in the nuts, so I count it a win.
Marvellously, miraculously, mysteriously, I haven't had a migraine all day.
I feel very floaty and cloudy and weird, but that's another win.
I'm not sure if this is the additional medicine, since it felt like something snapped in my brain yesterday, and I've been feeling this weightlessness since last night before I took the pill.
Pain free migraine, perhaps. But as long as the pain and the sandpaper and the nausea aren't there...a win.
I had other headaches, but they weren't migraines.
Did I mention I kicked three guys in the nuts?
And sprained my finger.

The status is NOT quo.
Sorry about the finger, but yay on the nuts!

I don't think I've ever typed that sentence before.

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

That's a hell of a perscription. Does insurance cover it?

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
I don't think I've ever typed that sentence before.
Indeed, I wonder if anyone ever has.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Yay no pain!
ION, I'm semi-drunk on vodka and orange peach mango.
Today's my birthday. Yay me.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.
it felt like something snapped in my brain yesterday, and I've been feeling this weightlessness since last night before I took the pill.
That sounds scary.
Sympathetic ouches on the other two counts, too.

Happy birthday, Tommy!
