DXMachina: I'm in a very nice hotel room with wireless internet access, HBO, and decent room service. This is very important, because it's frelling raining elephants outside.
Buffy: He ran away, right? Giles: Sort of, more. turned and swept out majestically, I suppose. Said I didn't concern him. Buffy: So a mythic triumph over a completely indifferent foe? Giles: Well, I'm not dead or unconscious, so I say bravo for me.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Not having has never been the thing I've regretted most in my life. Not trying is.
Polter-Cow in Minearverse- or Another One Sucked into the Buffista Vortex:
I think I've been spending too much time here. I'm feeling kind of sick, and around 5:30 this morning, I woke up pretty much delirious, and for about fifteen minutes, I experienced some sort of time dilation which felt like hours and hours of muddled thoughts about Buffistas and Tim Minear.

I didn't watch the speech, I just read the commentary:
Betsy HP: Apparently Bush just said "Secretary of State Rumsfeld".
t barfs
Steph L: Hmmm. White House RPG, methinks.
Not watching, not listening.
Jesse: The real problem with watching Bush on the teevee is the optic pattern of his tie. Don't they have people to figure this stuff out ahead of time?
Seph L: ....So, I pictured the Cabinet, all running around the White House, pretending to do each others' jobs.
Okay, so I put the TV on. Did he *seriously* just say "Nobody likes to see dead people on their television screens."?!?
Betsy HP: Jess, what is making that tie do that? Do you think it will open up a hellmouth?
Steph L.: His people are probably already drunk. What can they do? No matter how much they try to prep him, it does no good.
Betsy HP: "I'm sure something will pop into my head here, but with all this pressure of a press conference, it just hasn't yet."
In response to being asked for his greatest regret as President.
There still could be WMD, you know.
"He put me on the spot here, and maybe I'm not as quick on my feet as I should be in coming up with one."
That's what makes it a press conference, not a speech, Mr. President.
Steph L.:
"I'm sure something will pop into my head here, but with all this pressure of a press conference, it just hasn't yet."
My God. You just can't make this shit up.
Betsy HP: He just started making a speech about how good freedom is.
Steph L.: You know how people order videotapes of the Super Bowl and watch it endlessly?
I wish I had some tapes of Clinton.

and a chaser...
Nutty: Not much to say about the Bush speech except to note that yes, that necktie was doing incredibly strange things. Also, as my roommate noted at top volume, "North Korea people" are generally known by their quainter, more convenient moniker of "North Koreans".

Let me just say that popularity with people on public transportation does not equal literary respect. --Jesse

But I've just sat in one too many "you'll laugh, you'll cry," movies thinking I could've had a v-8.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
I think we need the follow-up to Kristin's comment:

Tim, in his thread, defending the faithful:
I've made fandom jokes in the past -- but my feeling is until you've walked a mile in my spock ears, you haven't earned the right.
