I'm sorry about the bad news, Fred Pete and Anne.
I like the letter thus far, Allyson and JZ.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

JZ is awesome. I read my coworker her letter, and she loved it. (coworker and I are in Portland, watching "So You THink You Can Dance" in her hotel room)

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
I like JZ's version.
Really Allyson, I often wonder how someone as pretty as you could not know it. I wish you could see the woman I see when you look in the mirror.

Allyson, I really like the edited version JZ gave you. And you know that I think you're gorgeous (and smart and witty!), so you being all self-deprecating drives me bonkers; we've had that talk.
If you do get on the Daily Show, I promise to help you shop for a fantastic outfit to wear for it. I'm pretty certain that's a promise I'll get the chance to fulfill, too.

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
Done! With heavy riffing off JZ's note. Thanks!

The status is NOT quo.
I'm flattered that they think there's some sort of shot, but I'm sitting over here on the reality stoop.
I seem to remember a certain someone saying that about her chances of ever getting published.
I'm just saying.
Loving JZ's edits, btw. Perfect mix of snark and modesty.

Skipping to poke my head and post that, according to the Buffista Calendar, today is EpicTangent's birthday.
Happy birthday, EpicTangent! With lots of wishes for a great day and a wonderful year!
Also, in advance, because I don't know how much internet access I'll have for the rest of the day, and definitely non over the weekend, I'll post already that tomorrow, Friday, the 22nd, will be Fred Pete and hubs' anniversary, and the following day, Saturday, the 23rd, will be Steph L's birthday. So, lots of early wishes for them, as well.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.
Happy Birthday, Epic!
Allyson, I love the letter, and I love JZ's edits, especially the line about making him look like the tallest person on earth.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"
I think it's a well-crafted letter, which shows the author gets Stewart's schtick and also that after two segments of the Mess O' Potamia and Mess O' Potomac news, you'd be a welcome relief of snark and human interest.

Allyson, Are you trying for Colbert too? You should.
