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

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."
D'oh, I really wish the swearing-in hadn't been so jumbled.
I actually didn't mind that at all. Reminded me of my wedding vows.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

I have been reading here all morning as I've been watching the inaugural events. I love the buffista play by play.
I thought I was emotional though the actual inauguration, but it was actually later when a reporter kept talking about "The President" this and "The President" that. The fact that he was referring to someone I can respect just gutted me.
Ok, I'm just watching this on tv, why do I feel so emotionally drained???

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda
I thought "J-word" was meant to be irreverent, not offensive. But of course, there is a fine line, always. Which side am I on if I say it sounds like the disciples got a show on Showtime?
Would it be offensive to anyone if I COMMed this? Because I laughed and laughed.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Yipes! Only acceptable as in "was taken to the hospital".

Fox News: We're unpresidented!
On Fox News, Chris Wallace just speculated that President Obama might still legally be regular ol' Barack Obama, because his botched oath doesn't count.
...
Over on Fox, Wallace predicted this will go to the courts. Though, presumably, if it makes it to the Supreme Court, John Roberts will rule that he administered a legitimate oath. (Besides, the mistake was Roberts' fault anyway, not that any of this is actually the least bit significant.)
Though I'd ordinarily guess that even this is too silly to take off on the paranoid far-right, these days, who can be sure? As a friend of mine joked, "Maybe the real reason he botched the oath is that he rehearsed it in Arabic."

Ha! I was wondering the same thing, Ginger, because that made me laugh so hard.
