The parrallells between Matt Santos and Barack Obama are eerie.
What'd you all order a dead guy for?

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Well, they based Santos on Obama, so. (And Josh Lyman on Rahm Emmanuel.)

AR-15s are a lot more reliable.
The ammo's more available, too.
(One of the scenes I loved in The Night of the Comet was when cheerleader sister says, "Daddy would have gotten us Uzis" rather than Mach 10s.)

Yeah, but even then... That last year or so of WW predated Obama's campaign by a couple of years, and yet the Santos/Vinnick race is weirdly prescient of the Obama/McCain race.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!
I'm sending out the ma, the hugs, the yays and the pppthbt as needed . A lot to read
but this
I observe and describe my physical environment - I do this a lot when walking. "Broken asphalt, red car, soft breeze, truck noise," etc. Somehow that extra level of awareness gives me just a sliver of distance from the overwhelm.
is exactly what I need to do when the insomnia fairy bonks me on the head between two and three am . thank you , smonster. It was sorta what I tried to do the other night, but it had no coherent plan behind it. It might work better with a plan

omnis, pursue. That's an order from a shy woman who can use M-16. - Shir
Except for that awesome debate. Loved that. Wish it would happen like that IRL.
ION- Would the asshole with clothes in all 3 driers kindly remove them so I can dry my clothes. Please!

Bad news: still waiting for the driers to be emptied.
Great News: Just found out my friend D (who helped me find my apartment) gave birth today. Her 2nd kid, first girl! No name yet. Don't know details, except mom and daughter are both fine. And daddy is melting when baby girl is in his hands.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
That doesn't sound safe.

Not for daddy, but daughter lands in a soft puddle of goo.
