Faith: A kid. Angel's got a kid. Wesley: Connor. Faith: A teenage kid born last year. Wesley: I told you, he grew up in a hell dimension. Faith: Right. And what, Cordelia spent her last summer as… Wesley: A divine being. Faith: Uh-huh. Can I just ask--What the hell are you people doing?

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"

"All hat and no cattle," is what she likes to say.

Love this. The man was born in Connecticut; he's phonier than a Nixon 3 dollar bill.

Now tagless for your comfort.

Preliminary ratings information show that Path to 9/11 was not only trounced by Sunday Night Football, it only managed to tie a rerun of a CBS documentary about 9/11.

It was Manning v. Manning--and it kicked ASS, plus, opening song by Pink! Go Colts! I'm pretty sure Monday Night Football will not be interrupted by the presidential speech--it's on ESPN. Guess what we're watching tonight?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

It's true.

"Cry havoc and let slip the boobs of war!" -- Miracleman

Does anyone else twitch in their half-sleep? I'm noticing that when I nap in my car I can twitch enough to wake me up from almost slumber.

yes, sometimes. It happens when I'm in bed, but only when I'm awake enough to notice it. Which means that it could happen while I'm asleep, but I sleep through it, I suppose.

Fellow Brooklynites and Colbert fans, I would like to draw your attention to this paper's endorsement of David Yassky. (Note the headline...)

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."

El presidente has been clueless about the needs of television before. Remember last fall, when he did a speech during Sweeps? On a Thursday? On the half-hour, which meant he broke two timeslots instead of just one?

I like to think the networks beat him over the head after that, but I suspect they rolled over and said, "Yeah, George! Okay, George! And after that, can we go chase some sticks, George? Yeah? Huh? Okay?"

'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"

I like The Straight Dope's explanation of hypnagogic myoclonus -- he says that it may also happen in relation to vaguely perceived noises in a delayed reaction. It's possible that you're hearing different sounds in the car rather than in your bedroom, I suppose.

One thing that I've noticed with my own falling-asleep-twitching is that it's a lot more likely to happen to me if I've had a major fall or almost-fall that day, as though my nervous system is trying to revisit it.

Always Anti-fascist!

And Nutty, somebody else probably sighed and said "Why do you do that? He'll never want to stop now!"And my tag feels very appropriate with the 9/11 memories, though I knew very few of you at that time. And I'm very glad that not that many people watched the bogus 9/11 special.

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

Myoclonus Jerk.

I always thought that'd be a great name for a band.
