Now I did a job. I got nothing but trouble since I did it, not to mention more than a few unkind words as regard to my character so let me make this abundantly clear. I do the job. And then I get paid.

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

Only place I've been called a nigger to my face was Moscow. But it was in a nice way?

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

There's a nice way?

"I love niggers! You're so great! Can I have my picture taken with you?"

He was very damned lucky he stopped using the word before the black American came out, that he was only using it in front of the two Africans and the Jamaican.

One of the African women turned to the other and said "What's a nigger?" "I think it's like a kaffir, but maybe worse," said her friend. I just tried not to make faces and stayed out of the photos.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

Hey, ita, there was a guy on the bus today who looked *just* like Colin. Only shorter.
Mini-generic?

How did I get 6 cavities in 9 months?

Little known fact: book deals cause tooth decay. These are the risks you take, Author Lady

You're going to have to argue that one with my mother. She raised me to believe he was one. I think of him as the Batman of the League of Founding Fathers.

Dang, Ginger, you are on FIRE lately!

I don't know what you're doing... vitamins? Sleeping better? Getting some? Whatever it is, keep it up. Funny funny funny lady.

Welcome L.R.!!!!

(I read her profile. Its like we have a new Holli to raise!!!! Aw, man, remember when Holli was little and wouldn't go in Bitches? They grow up so fast... It's the ciiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiircle of boaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaard )

in mac's current world this is how things are - SUPER HEROES: top tier of the world, deserve most of his attention; TRANSFORMERS: almost equal with superheroes, but not yet as he does not have any of their toys; OTHER CARTOON FOLK: move up and down in importance depending what is on; CHARACTERS IN BOOKS OR ANYTHING FROM SCHOOL not covered in the previous categories: fleeting interest

Man, that kid turned American in about thirty five seconds.

So years ago, I read this bio about an african american kid who had been raised in the Soviet Union. His parents had immigrated there because they thought that life would be better, less racist etc. Can any of you help me find the book again?

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

Aww, and remember when we were all, should we write letters to Holli's parents explaining how we're only occasionally axe murderers and she should be allowed to come play with us? And now she's all growed up.

I am really enjoying Dirty Sexy Money, even though missing some eps this month clearly meant I missed a good deal. It's such a great, complex relationship show.

Build pictures. We're making progress!

Always Anti-fascist!

Keith Olbermann(who likes baseball, as well as carrots) gave Robertson Worst Person bronze for the yoga comments.(It was a crowded WP day...Orally, McCain, and the "reverend" bringing the stupid all in one day. Sometimes I think KO is that rare American who fricking loves his job.)Hi, L.R, pardon my sportscaster Mentionitis. I've got a crush, so it's embarrassing how often I post "Keith Olbermann says..." but at least it's not like "David Simon says..." because that always makes me think "Reach for the sky, braindead."
"You didn't say David Simon says."

Liese, I'm watching Dirty Sexy Money RIGHT NOW AIFG. Seriously.

But I want to know what kind of heartless diety permits a world where, on wednesday nights at ten, I have to decide between Peter Krause and Damien Lewis.

Always Anti-fascist!

Well, one season I had to choose between Andre Braugher and Hugh Laurie. So, I'm guessing that kind.

OK, awesomest quote on a TV show EVAH.

Come on, this is what church is FOR... Draging the ruined past through the messy present into the perfect future and ruining it. Together.
