And I wonder, what possible catastrophe came crashing down from heaven and brought this dashing stranger to tears?

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

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

Yep, no problem with the pilot staying lit as long as it isnt "ON."

I'm beyond mad.

What is even happening?

Ruby is welcome too, though our cats would probably bed to differ.

Look out, Ruby! It seems like a selfless offer, but it's got seduction written all over it.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

In the House episode, the brain worms were from eating ham, which TOTALLY made me flip out like a ham-eating mammal, because I was all, "OMG! I have ham in MY fridge! I could have the brain worms, too, and I wouldn't know it! I EAT HAM!!!!"
Yep, it was "OMG, the cook-induced pork brain worms!" As opposed to "OMG, the cock-induced porking brain worms" of earlier today in misread Natter.

This is why I missed much of the first season of House.

"OMG horror movies every week!" is why I missed much of the first season of Supernatural.

Both of these facts are why I now let Buffistas tell me what to watch instead of listening to my own brain.

We're all getting played with, babe. -Weird Barbie

Oh dear. BEG. Beg to differ. No seduction as both cats are most definitely incapable of it.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

Happy Birthday, msbelle! I hope the day has improved.

My entire extended family in SW Missouri is without power.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

There's a lot of fog out there.

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

Can't I just take the period out of what ita said, and go buy all new clothes?

Actually, no. If you remove the period, you have to have sex with clothing. Sorry!

Yep, it was "OMG, the cook-induced pork brain worms!" As opposed to "OMG, the cock-induced porking brain worms" of earlier today in misread Natter.

Not enough cock?

Okay, really, now's time to get stuff done. Honest.

Jane Smiley has written a really excellent essay on W's psychology.

How do you build yourself a madman? Well, first you flatter him, and then you try never to make him angry, and then you feed him ideas that flatter him even more by making him seem to himself sentimentally visionary and powerful and righteous. You appeal to his already evident mean streak and his hot temper by reminding him all the time that he has enemies, and you cultivate his religious side so that the sense of righteous victimization inherent in extreme religion comes out. If he were not already an ignorant, dependant, fragile, and rigid person, he would not be susceptible to this sort of conditioning, but by temperament and practice, he has nothing of his own to counter your efforts. Then you hire a few shyster-sycophants like John Yoo to tell him (ignorant as he is, with no actual understanding of the Constitution), that as president he can do whatever he wants.

Now tagless for your comfort.

I felt really insulted last night at W's "educator-in-chief" comment. If it's one thing that pisses me off to no end that ridiculously condescending tone of his where he repeats his talking point lines to us as if we're retarded and just. don't. get. it.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

I wonder if Bush has any idea of any deeper meaning behind his talking points. Maybe he gives no explanations because he doesn't know any. Maybe he thinks the talking points ARE the argument.

Watching and listening to him just gives me the creeps.
