I was born with a "yeah, sure...tell me another one," look on my face. Which would make sense for reincarnated po-lice.(I'm not at all sure about this, of course, but I have felt drawn to that stuff for a very long time, and also incredibly short on the kind of fluffy cute that strangers on the street expect from little blond girls...it would be hard with Stan Bolander's soul, wouldn't it? "Because everyone lies. Some because they have to. Some because they want to. And some because they can."And the more chaotic my work environment is, the more excited part of me gets.) But maybe that's a reaction to the the-rapists. Or maybe Mom and I walked a beat once.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Erika, that was great. I love the way you turn the election into a crime to be solved.
And this:
“It is such a turn-on when you act devious. Remind me not to cheat on you though.”
“This was an option for you?”
“Not anymore. Not since you’d kill me to be President.”
made me laugh out loud.

Thanks, but it's not really a trick. "Theft" and "fraud" are crimes. And you need to, when you look at a crime, look at who benefits. I'm glad you thought it was funny, too.

I don't understand...if it doesn't have politics or vics in it, I probably haven't seen it, lately. Explain, please.

Identity Crisis is a big DC comics miniseries event right now. And in one issue, there're two entire pages of Batman using your very same reasoning, trying to puzzle out the murderer by asking, "Who benefits?" over panel after panel.

Yep. Ooh, Batman! I just started reading Gotham Central. It's like a Batman/Homicide crossover.(Which is to say very happymaking for me.)

To understand what happened at the diner, we shall use Mr. Papaya! This is upsetting because he's the friendliest of fruits.
Oh, I've been up to too much lately, and a lot of it has culminated here:
Life During Wartime: Living the Writer’s Life in Dubya’s America.
Enjoy! Or at the very least, let me know if I've gone off the deep end.
