Now tagless for your comfort.

I know. And I've just turned to CNN to see what they have on it and they're talking about whether comics are fair to McCain. The US military just killed a bunch of people in a country with whom we aren't weren't at war. Maybe something should show up on CNN's ticker, at least?

From what I've been reading, it doesn't look like this was a case of "Where's the border? What?" It was more like, "We think there are weapons and fighters leaking in from Syria and we can't get to them to stop it so fuck it, we're going after 'em." Who approved this shit? Not like bombing across touchy Middle Eastern borders is a Good Thing, EVER. Was this just a poke to remind people that the GOP is the only one that can keep us safe and fight the War on Terra?

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

Just call me "Siouxsie Shunshine".

I think you need to drabble Spike meeting Edward. "Mate, what's with the fucking sparkly bits? You one of those Snow Baby figurines or what?"

This is making me ridiculously happy.

The bombing of Syria is canceling that happiness quite effectively.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

BBC speculation on what is behind the attack on Syria. [link]

With the Bush administration on the way out, this US military incursion may represent something of a parting shot against the Syrians.

It's clear that if Senator Barrack Obama were to win the White House, his key advisers are among the strongest advocates of engaging with Damascus across a broad spectrum of issues.

You know, I think I'm shocked. Killing 8 people to relieve their feelings by taking one final shot at an old enemy? Not surprising for this bunch, but still shocking if the distinction is clear.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Any of the Cook's Illustrated testers done this last snack cake tester? I think I'm about to.

Puppy picspam has brought back the happy. (Thanks Perkins!)

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Hey quester, how are the glasses working out? Mine are fine, and I even finally got an unsolicited comment from someone who noticed they are different than the old ones....
