No. You're missing the point. The design of the thing is functional. The plan is not to shoot you. The plan is to get the girl. If there's no girl, then the plan, well, is like the room.

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

Daily Kos on Goss resignation:

This isn't part of some White House shake-up. This is a scandal-plagued Bush appointee resigning just as an investigation into another Republican corruption scandal hits too close to home.

Former Republican lawmaker and current CIA Director Porter Goss's name has surfaced time and time again in the Republican bribe scheme, which began with a focus on disgraced Republican Congressman Duke Cunningham and his Republican lobbyists (hmm, do I think I mentioned "Republican" enough in that sentence?).

It is Goss's hand-picked #3 man at the CIA, Kyle "Dusty" Foggo who is under serious investigation in connection with a massive bribery scheme that touches on sweetheart deals, million dollar contracts, and yes, even hookers.

You will recall that Ken Silverstein, based on a source, noted that the prostitution scandal could touch a former lawmaker "who now holds a powerful intelligence post." Speculation abounded that Porter Goss fit that description perfectly.

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

I am around. Morning's work insanity has just been mailed off to management. Grab food, and prepare for a completely different project in the PM.

Do you have time for a nap?

Not really. I have to pick between napping and eating. Why do they make me work? What's up with that?

Oh, and I need to call the help desk again. I guess I'll do that while I eat at my desk.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

Gosh! Because being at a party where there is a hooker (or several present) is so many many many times worse than mishandling critical national intelligence, not to mention having one of your spy-handlers outed so that all of her contacts are at risk/dry up/get killed. Gee Willikers!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Silly Theodosia! You should know by now that sex scandals are WAY WORSE than anything having to do with the person's actual job.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Will it all end up being just the way I think it will look and I'll be all happy about it?

I vote for this.

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

I appear to have made a terrible mistake. I think I wasn't clear enough about wanting my hair to be cut below my shoulders. Not above.

So. In the interest of keeping me from losing my shit, I am begging everyone who sees me for the next year to not mention my hair.

I will not cry. I will not.

It's only hair.
