You know, just hearing that it made sense that Bush's political advisor would leave because Bush' political life is over was so refreshing.

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

Surgically-altered thumb story was a hoax.

Good call, bon bon!

Now tagless for your comfort.

You know, just hearing that it made sense that Bush's political advisor would leave because Bush' political life is over was so refreshing.

Would have been more refreshing had the headline read, "Biggest Rat Leaving the Sinking Ship."

Huh. I did it with a link from our very own Nora, and did get the $25. Don't know if she got the $10.

I did indeed, from you and at least one other person. So, thanks for that! (belatedly)

"Biggest Rat Leaving the Sinking Ship."

SRSLY

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Huh, Karl Rove is resigning at the end of the month. (Why do I suspect that this means that Bush will appoint him as a Special Prosecutor to investigate the US Attorney firings or something?)

Ya know, when you sell your soul to the Devil, Satan gets to decide when to call you to Hell.

Actually, instead of tormenting Rove for all eternity, Beelzebub will probably just make Rove work as his political adviser.

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

Good call, bon bon!

I can't take all the credit-- Amych called it before me!

I was suspicious when I posted it. But ultimately too trusting in the competence of ZDNet.

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

That article is terribly smug. I agree that other news outlets should have done some basic fact-checking before propagating the story, but damned if they don't sound contemptuous of their readers.

Also, I do have thumb muscles. Otherwise bending them would be quite the miracle.

"I keep to a strict diet of ill-advised enthusiasm and heartfelt regret." Leigh Bardugo

He's going to start making money on the public speaking circuit and writing a book, guaranteed.

Or the next republican candidate will sell his soul to the Death Eaters and hire Rove for his campaign.

Or both.
