GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.

Still waiting for "Could you *be* more(something)?" somehow, though he doesn't come off Bingish, especially.
Sorkin gave the Chandleresque line "Could you be more Jewish?!" to Brad Whitford in yesterday's episode.

Yes, I noticed that, too, Kathy. Made me laugh. It was a nice little reference.

What is even happening?
Had it been true that Clinton had been distracted from the hunt for bin Laden in 1998 because of the Monica Lewinsky nonsense, why did these same people not applaud him for having bombed bin Laden’s camps in Afghanistan and Sudan on Aug. 20, of that year? For mentioning bin Laden by name as he did so?
That day, Republican Senator Grams of Minnesota invoked the movie "Wag The Dog."
Republican Senator Coats of Indiana questioned Mr. Clinton’s judgment.
Republican Senator Ashcroft of Missouri—the future attorney general—echoed Coats.
Even Republican Senator Arlen Specter questioned the timing.
And of course, were it true Clinton had been “distracted” by the Lewinsky witch-hunt, who on earth conducted the Lewinsky witch-hunt?
Who turned the political discourse of this nation on its head for two years?
Who corrupted the political media?
Who made it impossible for us to even bring back on the air, the counter-terrorism analysts like Dr. Richard Haass, and James Dunegan, who had warned, at this very hour, on this very network, in early 1998, of cells from the Middle East who sought to attack us, here?
Who preempted them in order to strangle us with the trivia that was, “All Monica All The Time”?
Who distracted whom?
I have been screaming this (at my P.C. monitor, which is not so cathartic as you might imagine) since I watched Chris Wallace's interview with President Clinton.
Go get 'em, Olbie.

Raw story has images of a memo to Condi Rice directly contradicting the bullshit she was spouting this morning, by the way: [link]
ETA, Cindy, I totally get you. I startled the dog screaming "liar!" at the tv this morning.

Timelies all!
Yay for Zmaybabe! Congrats to the whole family!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I hate vending machines with erratic stock. And the ones that have two products in one queue (because the product I want is inevitably the one behind something so disgusting I can't contemplate working my way through the line).
In other words, I have Coke, but I really wanted ginger ale.
And it's not until I'm done the Coke I remember my doctor's admonition to not wash triptans down with caffeinated drinks. I wish she'd said why. I remember things much better if there's a why.
Still want to go home. Will not go to krav, I promise. Just let me go home.

Heh. I first thought you "started" the dog screaming "liar!"--which would have been a pretty neat trick, particularly if he screamed it at the right people.
The first time I watched it, I was all, "WAG THE DOG WAG THE DOG WAG THE DOG WHAT ABOUT WAG THE DOG? ASSHATS!" I had to get a grip.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
YAY BABY!! Welcome, Matilda!!
I've only got one premiere left that I'm really looking forward to, Ugly Betty.
I saw the pilot of this and it was adorable. Don't know how it compares to the original, but it was damn cute.
I still like Studio 60, and I'm afraid to like anything else new. No time!!
My whole day was an enormous ridiculous waste of fucking time. It was pleasant, but I really could have stood to be AT WORK.
