I know, I saw Gibson in the commentary after.
Unrelated - thank you ita. I am not sure I can like that character, so I'll take it on as a challenge.
And you're sure this isn't just some fanboy thing? 'Cause I've fought more than a couple pimply, overweight vamps that called themselves Lestat.

My favorite bits from the debate watch-n-post at Clusterstock:
anamariecox: i love it when politicians compare the gov't budget to family budgets. Because, you know, recently my husband started a war that only the dogs voted for. But I gave a speech!
FishbowlNY: McCain suddenly is able to multi-task! Health care, entitlements, employment. Obama should ask if McCain will suspend any of these.
RachelSklar: "You know, a lot of you remember the tragedy of 9/11." Um, yeah, thanks for that reminder.
Comment From Camel54]: If [McCain] knows how to get Bin Laden, why hasn't he shared that info with the current administration?
PeterFeld: Camel54 - because he's a maverick
RachelSklar: I love that naked aggression, nailing jello, and carrying a big stick are all integral parts of this debate.
RachelSklar: McCain: "I think what I don't know is what all of us don't know."
Rex Sorgatz: McCain: "How many houses I have."
[Comment From J.W.]: They should treat this format like the Holocaust....Never again

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
Hee. I know RachelSklar. We worked together on a political musical sketch comedy show three years ago.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I am not sure I can like that character, so I'll take it on as a challenge.
However it turns out I know you're up to the challenge of giving it a shot.
90210 is making me regret I haven't been to Hollywood Forever in a few years. Next summer, for sure.

Always Anti-fascist!
Town halls blow. No wonder McCain likes them.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
I drank a WHOLE BOTTLE of wine. And then I said terrible things. And if I have a job on Monday, it will be a freaking MIRACLE.
My tongue is numb.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
I had a rehearsal so grumpy-inducing that I actually wish I'd stayed home to watch the rest of the debate.

Holy ass. I think my physicists have had a bit too much as well. Way too jolly.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
I read an interview a few years ago with the guy who trains most of the animals that are in Broadway shows. (I think the article was when Legally Blonde was opening.) He said that, when he's getting new animals, he goes to a shelter and tries to find the one dog that's just coolly hanging out in the middle of all the other dogs barking and running and being crazy. He said that pretty much any dog can be trained to follow commands, but not any dog can do it in the middle of all the lights and music and everything.
I stage managed a student theatre production of Brighton Beach Memoirs a few years ago, and that show had a ton of food. There's a scene where the family sits down to dinner, and it would just look wrong without real food. And since the first bunch of lines in that scene are the kids complaining about the food, it had to be the specific food mentioned. We ended up using canned green beans to stand in for cabbage (it was the vaguely cabbagey-looking thing I could find in a can that didn't require a can opener), instant mashed potatoes, and slices of pumpernickel bread to look like meat.
