Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

le nubian: What I don't understand is that Sandy is supposed to be the good girl, and Rizzo is the one to watch out for.

Old Russian saying, I learned from a Robin Williams movie: "Expect the worst, hope for the best."
Yep, that sounds like just about the right attitude to adopt going into a Robin Williams movie.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Context is really flexible on this one:
yes, it is amusing we are having this discussion. but put my level of surprise at zero.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
Calli: I get ads saying not to vote for the House incumbent because he went to college where he learned to hate America. Just like Obama. Hand to Gaia, the ad literally says that.
billytea: It's a surprisingly popular major!

And still more about the silly season:
Teppy: I DEEPLY resent seeing both political ads AND Christmas commercials. I'd like to get through politician-buying season before I start buying Christmas presents.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger
In Natter:
Dana: Nothing quite like getting a collect call from a jail. No, I don't know who it was, and no, I didn't accept the charges.
Tom Scola: Scratches Dana off the list.
Dana: Well, Tom, next time you have to enunciate. Being arrested is no excuse.

Always Anti-fascist!
Hec outlines the penalty for a "wrong" vote, in Natter. and there are also lots of people with different priorities who are making different choices based on the best information they have.
Well their priorities are wrong and they should feel bad. They should wake up the day after they voted, and think, "What the fuck was I thinking? I don't hate women. Why did I do that? Jesus, I suck." And then they should feel queasy all day and have a restless sleep for two weeks, getting haggard and red-eyed. And when they try to tell their friends that they were sorry they should face scorn! "Too fucking late now, man! Too fucking late." And they should not be invited to parties and sit alone at home trying to play Halo but nobody wants to play with them. Because of the shunning and the scorn.
