re: Bones
I, for one, laughed like a loon at the face and the balloon. I suspect I am lacking in the finer feelings.

What is even happening?
Holy ass! The guy who never e-mails me back actually e-mailed me back this afternoon!
At first, I read this like, "Holy ass," was his nickname, rather than just an exclamation of surprise.

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
awwww, so far, a lot of, "congrats! but you can't go! what will happen to us? please stay. we understand why, but we're so screwed."
It's nice to be loved.

So do you have something else lined up, or did you just reach your wits end with the current?
Also, good for you Allyson.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
Go, Allyson!

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
awwww, so far, a lot of, "congrats! but you can't go! what will happen to us? please stay. we understand why, but we're so screwed."
I am JZ's complete lack of surprise.
I'm wondering - are there any "principled" conservative blogs? I.e. blogs that actually looks at facts instead of parroting whatever talking points are coming out of the Administration?
tommyrot, there are a few, though a problem they've found is that as soon as they say something critical of the Administration the rest of the conservablog world promptly excommunicates them. I'm fairly sure Andrew Sullivan still considers himself a principled conservative, but I'm not sure any other conservative pundits do.
And Glenn Greenwald, now with Salon, started out his (very wordy but oh so excellent) blog a couple of years ago as a very mildly conservative-leaning moderate with a strong interest in constitutional law and interpreting this Admin's actions through that lens, but it didn't take him long to get labeled a whackadoo moonbat because of his incomprehensible obsession with craxy leftist notions like facts and legislative and judicial precedent and such.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Excellent. Exactly the right response.

Oh yeah. With a 28% increase in salary and a management title.
