Really, in my mind, the progression goes:
Nikita --> Highlander --> Slash --> WORLD DOMINATION
Wesley: We're going to bring Angelus in alive. Connor: No we're not. Gunn: I thought you said capturing him wasn't an option. Wesley: Changed my mind. Connor: Change it back.
'Why We Fight'
Natter 56: ...we need the writers.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
This is just so fucked up that it's funny. Or something....
Liberals want your kids to get clapped up
Why not start the new year with an example of what we mean when we refer to movement conservatives at not being part of the reality based community.
Wendy Wright is president of Concerned Women for America, a group that was originally founded by Beverly LaHaye as a counter-balance to the dangerous feminist tendencies of the National Organization for Women. They are a well financed group that is against gay rights, Harry Potter, abortion, sex-ed, most forms of birth control, pornography, stem cell research, the United Nations, vaccinating girls against the human papillomavirus (HPV), and hate crime legislation. They are for prayer in public schools, teaching intelligent design, abstinence-only sex-ed, the Biblical design of the family, and treating homosexuality as a dangerous, but curable, mental illness. They have been a major player on the religious right for almost thirty years.
Appearing on the December 31st edition of Fox News’ Special Report Wright had this to say about those who support comprehensive sex ed in the schools:
In fact, they want to encourage [kids to choose to have sex] because they benefit when kids end up having sexually transmitted diseases, unintended pregnancies and then they lead them into having abortions, so you have to look at the financial motives behind those who are promoting comprehensive sex ed.
Interestingly, she was not laughed out of the studio.
Really, what can one say?

Um, strike that, reverse it...
why Beadle Bamford in Sweeney Todd looked so familiar... well, it's freaking Wormtail, innit?
Someone over in the Procedurals thread just pointed out why I found a character on last night's L&O so familiar--it was freaking Wormtongue (not Wormtail)!

Happy Birthday, shrift!
For someone who could pretty much live with any of the top three Dems, I'm all jittery over the process actually finally starting tonight. Don't fuck this up, America!

I, too, am hopeful - but I'm also feeling the "Iowa? Seriously?" thing. Maybe because I'm not up to my normal level of nice. Maybe because I saw three Iowans on tv (all white, all mid-forties) saying "we represent America!", while the Iowa demographics (90-something% caucasian, much of that evangelical, etc.) rolled below the image. My bullshit detector, people - let me show you it.
I do kind of like weird-ass way Iowa democrats caucus. voting with their feet, giving speeches... it sounds like it would take forever though. The republicans with their secret ballot are probably out of there in 30 minutes.

I'm pretty much in the jeezusgawd, another 11 fucking months of this?!! mode. Due to the election schedule here, it feels like I've been going to vote for something or other every six months or less. One campaign after another, even if some were foregone conclusions. It's like...again?? Can't we just shut up for a bit?
