Y'all see the man hanging out of the spaceship with the really big gun? Now I'm not saying you weren't easy to find. It was kinda out of our way, and he didn't want to come in the first place. Man's lookin' to kill some folk. So really it's his will y'all should worry about thwarting.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."

We watched it in our meeting this morning and cracked up. "Dramatic plea! Whispered. repetition."

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

RDJ is so lovely and dry.

His timing as he came in on "It's a collaboration" as Tina tightened her lips and shook her head "No" was spot-on.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

We watched it in our meeting this morning and cracked up. "Dramatic plea! Whispered. repetition."

"LEAD FEMALE ACTOR'S NAME!!!" There were so many great clichéd bits. Expertly done.

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

Though the piece would have worked better if Tina weren't an actor, really.

Does she count as an actor if she only ever plays herself in stuff she's written?

She didn't write Baby Mama. Or Date Night.

For Jilli--a hundred-year-old article on the evils of hatpins.

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

Huh.

Anti-gay rights California Sen. Roy Ashburn comes out as gay

During his time in California's Senate, Roy Ashburn voted against every single gay rights measure that came up. That made the story of his arrest two weeks ago -- he was pulled over for drunk driving after leaving a gay bar, and he had another man in the car with him -- more than a little interesting.

On Monday, Ashburn admitted to what everyone had pretty much figured out now.

"I'm gay," he said in a radio interview. "Those are the words that have been so difficult for me for so long." The Sacramento Bee's Capitol Alert blog reports that Ashburn explained that he voted the way he did on gay rights because he felt that's what the voters of his district wanted.

I love that hatpin article and its title "The truth about the hatpin situation."

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

I'm starting to think the entire Republican Party is gay, closeted and self-hating.

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

he voted the way he did on gay rights because he felt that's what the voters of his district wanted

How big of him. He's a man of such principle that he puts the feelings of the people ahead of his own personal leanings.

We need more politicians like that.
