Yes, it's terribly simple. The good guys are always stalwart and true, the bad guys are easily distinguished by their pointy horns or black hats, and, uh, we always defeat them and save the day. No one ever dies, and everybody lives happily ever after.

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

There were a million and a half magazines with the Obamas on the cover at the supermarket, and behind me in the checkout line I hear this little kid voice say loudly: "Barack Obama! What's Barack Obama doing? Is he promising to be a good president?" And her mother patiently explained how he intended to do all sorts of good things. Very cute.

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

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

I think she's a little low to the ground for much bagginess.

Isn't she wearing the pants on her hind legs?

Oh, no! Another resignation at the Aussie Open. It doesn't matter how I'm rooting--I hate that.
