Up with the sun

I love the graphic idea, FWIW.

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

was there a picture? I didn't see it. I was thinking a simple gavel would do it.

There was no picture. Just the concept of a picture.

And I don't think cute pictures are called for.

Maybe just a text-graphic in Buffy font, or is even that too frivolous?

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

Maybe just something saying "Official Message" in the Buffy font?

No other candidate is asking the hard questions, like "Did geophysicists assassinate Jim Henson?" or "Why is there hydrogen in America's water supply?" --defective yeti

The gavel sounds cool.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

With great power comes great responsibility, Jon.

And, apparently, great visuals.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!

I was thinking of something like this, but I see the argument against frivolity.

Thanks for all the fish.

BWAH! I like it, Jon.

And, listen, I'll delete if I'm mistaken or out of line, but I get the huge impression that Schmoker and mieskye are the same person.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

I don't think so, Elena. Just similar attitudes.

Thanks for all the fish.

Yeah? Okay, but they have very similar posting styles and are both in Ohio.
