Looks like Auntie deleted the spoiler already.
Oh, smacked in the noggin with a 2x4 wrapped in velvet. Yeah, that's what it felt like.

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

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
buy it buyit buy it. for the nephew.
I've bought one copy for my 9 yr old nephew. I don't think it'll be beyond him. But what about a freakishly smart 12 yr old?
That press conference surprised me. I guess I was expecting a dry list of charges from the FBI instead of Patrick Fitzgerald talking about Lincoln rolling over in his grave.

My boyfriend has a huge mancrush on him now. (Or he already had it and it has now grown exponentially.)

I can't believe I was stuck in a meeting right when the press conference was coming on. I'll have to find it somewhere tonight.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!
freakishly smart 12 yr old?
Unless he doesn't like fiction -- He still ought to love it. It is about ultrasmart kids who have to work and be smarter than everything around them
and most of the freakishly smart 12 yr olds I've met are very rarely emotionally beyond 12.
Besides , all the adults I know that have read it , love it. So why wouldn't a 12 yr old?

Ann, that's a ferret.
Any Freudians around want to try analyzing Blagojevich's frequent use of the word "fuck" and variants?

HIS response was to start having press conferences that the media and The (White) Man were out to get him.
Well... I do find it...troubling that of all the (mostly white) city government, the 2 that get federally indicted are a) black and b) vociferous advocates for their primarily minority constituencies.
I mean, that's weird, right? And then you've got Sal DiMasi (old school white guy Boston pol) is basically saying to anyone who even looks like they might ask him about his financing, FUCK YOU I'LL KILL YOU. And everyone's like... um, OK.

I've heard he's not safe yet. He may have the senate cowed, but I don't think that goes for the FBI, as Tom Finneran found out.

But corruption ain't anything new in Boston, where one of the most prominent former state reps was the brother of the #1 guy on the most-wanted list. Of course, the FBI wasn't a whole lot of help in that particular case.
