Zoe: Yeah? Thought you'd get land crazy that long in port. Wash: Probably, but I've been sane a long while now, and change is good.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

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

sumi, it was on ESPN2. And it was quite something. You could totally see Nadal deflate. Del Potro just looked huge and all over the court.

Always Anti-fascist!

If I try to understand that craziness, I'm gonna break my brain.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

In DC, yesterday.

I do not understand. "Hey Barry ... Show U.S. your smallpox vaccination." [link] Is this a birther thing?

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

This one has some truthiness. [link] And the comments are priceless!

The rest of it baffles me.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

"Hey Barry ... Show U.S. your smallpox vaccination." [link] Is this a birther thing?

My mind went straight to X-Files, so I'm going to assume it's a birther with a very tenuous grasp of the meaning of the word "alien."

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

Did anyone who is not white attend that rally?

Those poor kids. They're really not going to do well in the world when they grow up, they're being raised to be completely shunned by the rest of society. I think most kids growing up now don't really "get" racism or homophobia in the same way my generation does. Or, I could be writing this from my safe enclave of Los Angeles, in my blue state Hollyweird Librul comfort.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Well, it's not like people didn't put a Hitler mustache etc. on GWB as well... [link] And I don't think he was actually a Nazi either.

Oh yeah, that's totally true. The hitler thing makes me insane, hyperbole-wise.

Pessimistically I think you are, although I have no evidence to support that.

And I don't think he was actually a Nazi either

Do you have proof of that? Hmm? Hmm?

It is statistically improbable that Federer will win this match. Djokovic can beat him, and it's just too much for Roger to keep winning. That having been said, I hope I didn't just jinx him.

But I never think he will win. I always hope he will, but I never expect it.
