Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Some men and women look beautiful to me, as in they are lovely things to look at, but they don't arouse one iota of lust (young Cary Grant). Some are beautiful AND lustworthy (Ewan Macgregor), and some just lustworthy (Daniel Craig). YLustMV

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

ION, Fox News "war games" the coming civil war

That's the context for this Glenn Beck "War Games" show on Fox News this week -- one promoted, with some mild and obligatory caveats, by Michelle Malkin's Hot Air. In the segment below, he convened a panel that includes former CIA officer Michael Scheuer and Ret. U.S. Army Sgt. Major Tim Strong. They discuss a coming "civil war" led by American "Bubba" militias -- Beck says he "believes we're on this road" -- and they contemplate whether the U.S. military would follow the President's orders to subdue civil unrest or would instead join with "the people" in defense of their Constitutional rights against the Government (they agree that the U.S. military would be with "the people"):

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

I'm curious -- what is it that you find attractive about her? Because to my eyes she's so very plain and creepy, but I read lots of praise about her appearance. So -- given that everyone's MMV (I will *never* understand the appeal of, say, Sean Bean, or the new James Bond guy), what features/characteristics make Tilda Swinton so appealing?

She's got this intensity about her, and this sort of knowingness to her smiles. And, wow, her hair. And have I mentioned her voice? I haven't. Her voice. Yes.

She's just... guh!

Signed, please don't ask me how many times I've seen Orlando.

Always Anti-fascist!

Domenic West ought to be ugly...his face isn't symnetrical and I feel that individual features might be the wrong size, but when he smirks or raises those eyebrows, he kind of pwns me. And I'm not sure why I think Denis Leary is hot, besides the people on his show doing the horizontal bop in so many(for TV) improbable ways. But I'd totally hit that. And I've had to explain my Munch-lust to too many twelve-year-old Meloni fangirls"Ew...he's so OLD!" to fail to participate in this conversation. Funny is hot. But not always, or I'd want Bill Hicks, too. Which I don't. Maybe it would feel like lusting after Moses, though, crushing on Bill Hicks.

Punishingly Intricate

I'm that way about Hugh Jackman.

My days of not taking Glen Beck seriously are certainly coming to a middle.

The artist formerly associated with cupcakes.

She doesn't look human enough for me to find her attractive. She inhabits the uncanny valley, for me. But I can't take my eyes off her--bone structure as other people have cited is a biggie, and something about her eyes.

Bingo. She's mesmerizing, but not pretty.

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

I'm that way about Hugh Jackman.

Wolverine too?

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

(they agree that the U.S. military would be with "the people")

riiiiiight.

Getting antsy. Doesn't help I've felt like I might be coming down with a cold all day.
