...and now I am educated. Very cool stuff indeed. I just wish that there was something I could do from here.
Well, it's just good to know that when the chips are down and things look grim you'll feed off the girl who loves you to save your own ass!

[NAFDA] "There will be an occasional happy, so that it might be crushed under the boot of the writer." From Zorro to Angel (including Wonderfalls, The Inside and Drive), this is where Buffistas come to anoint themselves in the bloodbath.

"Don' be e-scared"
I think that posted youtube link says it about as well as can be.

Why aren't the writers asking for more?

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
That's a good video. I love that it is being distributed over the internet. Kinda helps make the point.

I'm sorry if my fly-by post caused a kerfuffle, Kat and Fay. I think ita best summed up why they used teachers as a comparison, and Tim best summed up why they shouldn't've.
Without context though, it doesn't mean much. (Because numbers? Are tricksy things which can be bent to the will of any evil doer.) I searched but I couldn't find the article again (Curse my tendanacies to both follow links willy and nilly and to clear my cached history!)
I don't think I've really grasped the general ignorance on display on line before. I guess most of my reading has been fandom based. Or fact based. Or I just haven't cared about the issue at hand. Now that it comes down to debate... Man, the internets are a scary scary place, and people are amazingly selfish beasties (who really, really, don't deserve clever writing on their televisions.)

Never fall in love with somebody you actually love.
I can just imagine when The Office returns, the breaking a story meeting for the next episode. Let's call this one Promotional Material..

'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"
Actually, I really liked seeing the actor-writer-producers 'out of character'. I keep forgetting that 'Toby' is also a hyphenate. It makes me feel less bad for him when Michael picks on him so much and so unfairly.

To understand what happened at the diner, we shall use Mr. Papaya! This is upsetting because he's the friendliest of fruits.
My friend Chris Bird has put together a pretty exhaustive overview of the strike, why it matters and what various writers have said about it. The contrary opinion in the comments section is pretty good, too.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
That link doesn't work for me, victor.

Trust my rage
Tom, when I pasted the link, but then took out the entry specific part of the URL, it took me straight there.
