The actual column is about Jaycee Dugard, and all the sports she missed while being raped in captivity....
Goodness knows that was my first thought...
Willow: Something evil-crashed to earth in this. Then it broke out and slithered away to do badness.
Giles: Well, in all fairness, we don't really know about the "slithered" part. Anya: No, no, I'm sure it frisked about like a fluffy lamb.

Natter 64: Yes, we still need you
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

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

Ann, that's a ferret.
just in case anyone wants to boggle (is that a word) over the WORST SPORTS COLUMN OF ALL TIME
Two takeaways from the article:
You can make a sports connection to just about anything.
Sometimes it's best not to make the sports connection, even if you can.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Recommended punshiment for Wilson -- a 10-page essay explaining why "we're ashamed the president is from Texas" and "Stop the War" T-shirts at presidential appearances were inappropriate and even treasonous for the last eight years, but out-and-out calling the President a liar on the floor of Congress and carrying assault rifles outside presidential appearances are now appropriate. With Cindy Sheehan and Natalie Maines to decide whether his work is adequate.
Brilliant.

Ugh. I just shared bad news at work that I actually got yesterday, but sat on. Yesterday was a Good News Day and I didn't want to ruin it. Fuck.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Ugh.

After the speech, Rahm Emanuel, the White House chief of staff who sat a few rows in front of Mr. Wilson, said he immediately approached senior Republican lawmakers to encourage them to identify the heckler and urge him to issue an apology quickly.
PIMP HAND!!!
I'm just saying, is all.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
From Sparkymonster's LJ (this isn't our Sparky, unless there's something I missed): [link] -- when Wilson called Obama to apologize, he got Rahm Emanuel on the phone. Ahahahaha!!!
Also, dig the screencap she has in that entry. That is a beautiful thing.
t edit Oh, and from that LJ entry, joewilsonisyourpreexistingcondition.com already exists. I love the internets.

Always Anti-fascist!
I'll bet there were forty-two "motherfuckers" in that conversation. Cause it's the fuckin' answer to everything. duh. Boy, I bet that little outburst from the stands is feeling *Much* less worthwhile today. Like he'd prefer a nice rectal exam kinds of "Much less worth it."
