If you can't love the source, then you can't have the by-product.
and so if we love books, we must love publishers also?

Every nightmare I have that doesn't revolve around academic failure or public nudity is about that thing. In fact, once I dreamt that it attacked me while I was late for a test and naked.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
If you can't love the source, then you can't have the by-product. Thus begins my reign of evil.
Anyone else interested in starting a mutiny?
I mean, by that logic, I wouldn't be allowed to have olive oil either.

Poor David. Evil Emperor plagued by nay-sayers and account executives from the very outset. Too much freedom, we have.

There was someone on one of the morning shows this morning who used Obama's speech about absentee fathers as an excuse to deny marriage rights to same-sex couples ("It's about saving the children!"). My head nearly exploded before I could reach the remote.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

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

That's like saying you can't have a hamburger if you think that steak tartar is gross.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
So, I got my replacement shoes from Zappos, and I'm not sold on them. They don't feel dressy enough for work, which is ridiculous, because they are 75% identical to other work shoes I have. I think it's because the heel is lower, which I realize doesn't quite make sense. But I feel weird sending them back again! (Or really, for the first time.)

No, I'm a capricious evil overlord. I didn't say it was logical! I said it was evil.
I mean, by that logic, I wouldn't be allowed to have olive oil either.
In my evil universe you are on a 100% muffeletta diet, with olives every time.

Man, my subjects are literal minded.
Again, capricious evil. Far more likely to drive people insane. It's like irregular rewards and punishments in classical conditioning.
