Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Keith's amazed viewing of the Palin press conference at the turkey bloodbath from Monday night was hilarious. The fact that he even tossed in the classic line from WKRP was the topper.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?

Turkeys Away!!

I kind of love Keith for the big old diva he is, but I was also a big SportsCenter viewer.

(I talk a lot of disgusted smack about sports here, but the record will show that I spent a LOT of time growing up and through my teens and twenties glued to ESPN.)

Always Anti-fascist!

That was killer, yeah! I enjoy watching him enjoy things, if that doesn't sound too "Being There" of me. Because, okay, to me, it was mildly amusing that Palin, ESPN-Wannabe and ex-heartbeat away wouldn't know it was Bad Media Juju to stand there twittering away in front of turkey guillotines, but for Keith? It was like Santa came early, and I *love* it when he gets like that.

Diva does about cover it, Plei. (Not that there's anything wrong with that.) Most of my crushes act like that...maybe I'm hoping self-esteem is community-property?

tommyrot, I'm not familiar with the Progressive Student Network. I did attend a few meetings of Marquette's Progressive Student Association, but didn't do much more than talk and listen (IOW, I didn't involve myself in any actual protests, etc., although to be blunt, the mid-'80s was not a big time of campus protests other than the apartheid divestiture issue).

A fellow member, a native of South Africa, did get involved and paid for it when he graduated and returned home. He disappeared after being taken by the SA police for several months until he was finally released; they knew exactly how much he was involved in the anti-apartheid protests over here.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

Happy Birthday Daisy!

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

Aargh. I want to watch Pangs, but I can't find my remote. So now I have to watch beer Bad first!

I think the group I was in at college was sort of at the tail of PSN and the start of SEAC. Some of us went to the Catalyst Conference in 1991.

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

My parents were both in the Labor Party (my dad resigned after becoming a judge). D served on the National Executive, M stood for election to the ACT Legislative Assembly. My family's always been fairly politicised, though it's my older brother and I that take the greatest interest.
