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.
Don't kill anyone if you don't have to. We're here to make a deal.

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.
If you can't love the source, then you can't have the by-product. Thus begins my reign of evil.
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.)

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
and so if we love books, we must love publishers also?
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.

I do believe in killing the messenger, you know why? Because it sends a message. ~ Damon Salvatore

Heh.
Hey Hec, what's the name of that B&B that you and I and Law walked by when we were hanging out with you in SF a couple years ago? Didn't you say your dad stayed there at some point? More importantly, is it walking distance from the Toronado?
We are planning a trip to NoCA (with a stop in SF) for fall of 2009 and I'm trying to do some planning because I am BORED OUT OF MY MIND at work today.
