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

My most hated is "I could care less."

I actually started using that as a teen. I think among people who knew me it was soon apparent shorthand for "I could care less. I'd have to try really hard, but I bet I could do it if I really focussed. But I don't care enough to do even that."

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

I wonder if anybody's claimed Irregardless.com.

"In Obama's America, the white kids now get beat up with the black kids cheering, 'Yay, right on, right on, right on, right on... I wonder if Obama's going to come to come to the defense of the assailants the way he did his friend Skip Gates up there at Harvard."

Wow, it's kinda remarkable to hear such blatant racism on a national radio show. Or maybe I don't listen to the radio enough.

You know, I can see thinking there was a racial component to the incident. If you reverse the situation, it would be hard not to think race played a factor. But it isn't a definite. But man, the rest of it. Skip Gates an assailant? Manufacturing a trend out of a single incident that may or may not have been race motivated to some degree? Blaming it on having a black president? It's so bad, it's not even funny.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

I think I hear "I couldn't care less" used more often, but I don't know if that's accurate.

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

Heh. From the Irregardless cafe site:

"I chose the name because when I wrote 'irregardless' in college papers, professors would circle it in red. I wanted finally to be able to use the word," Gordon gleefully laughs.

The Limbaugh quote does make me hope for a Larry Wilmore appearance on TDS.
