Oh, I'd so F Odysseus over Achilles. Especially if we're doing Troy the movie casting.
ETA: Achilles would be, like, the ultimate selfish lay.
Doesn't matter that we took him off that boat, Shepherd, it's the place he's going to live from now on.

Okay, NH primary question....
Did anyone else worry that Clinton's surprising resurgence is a result of the Republicans panicking over losing her as a target if Obama got the nomination? Could her win be partially attributed to an open primary and Republicans wanting her to beat up in the general election instead of Obama who might be more electable? Or am I completely cynical?

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Especially if we're doing Troy the movie casting.
Hey, now, that's a totally different issue.
Oh, I'd so F Odysseus over Achilles.
We are clearly on opposite sides of the Odysseus - Achilles spectrum. At least Achilles didn't lark around for ten years after the war was over, having sex with Circe and occasionally going, "Oh, I miss Penelope."

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
Could her win be partially attributed to an open primary and Republicans wanting her to beat up in the general election instead of Obama who might be more electable?
It's only a semi-open primary -- independents could vote for her because they want to beat up on her, but registered repubs couldn't. That said, it's possible... but then again, I've also seen her win attributed to (mostly Obama-supporting) independents voting the repub card because they wanted to make sure Romney went down in big flamey flames.
I think any level of cynical is at least partly justified, but I'm also not sure it's possible to get a simple explanation.

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

I was thinking that it was a reaction against the right piling on Clinton when it looked like she might be done.

Point, but we're talking *F* Odysseus, not *M* him. He's been honing his, um, skills! Achilles, on the other hand, is clearly more obsessed with himself (and his cousin) than with his women (except as possessions).
Obviously it's M Hector. At least reasonable minds can agree on something.

That's what she said...
People are really aggravating me at work today. Why are people so annoying. And why does our student worker (who I found and everyone loves) think he can just stay here full-time after graduation? I am sure someone told him this, but as a slightly older, more savvy worker, I find it hard to believe they will create a position for him. They have also just hired his sister and they plan to live together. WTF????
