let me get this straight, we're supposed to beat each other up and then come together for the election cycle?

Which is why I don't go there anymore, I don't have the proper bloodthirstiness and paranoia to properly appreciate everyone's outrage.

I'd like to think Shir's drunk, but I suspect this is normal for her.

Exactly. Which is exactly why I don't drink or use drugs. With a brain like mine, the fun's already installed. Did I mention that I love having fever, because OMG, the hallucinations and the giggling is AWESOME? Seriously, you don't need any exterior aids with the way my mind works.

{{Seska}} I hope tomorrow will make up for everything you've been through with the house by now.

Night, mes Bitches!

Actually, I'm finding my time in fandom distressingly applicable to commenting in the political arena. If you think of Obama as the Show-Runner in Chief, that is. We have BNFs and everything. And Olbermann staged the world's first BNF Internet flounceoff.(Complete with obligatory shame-faced return...I was a little embarrassed for him, actually. Cliche much?) But many Kossacks freaked, and I was like "Did he copy Markos' code and babble to himself in the Daily Keith?"

"No."

"Fake his own death and get his fake girlfriend to tell us."

"No, that's insane... Nobody would.."

"I still win."

BNF Internet flounceoff.

Oh, that was funny, when everyone was "so mee-eean!" to him. And people scolded the big meanies who made Keith cry.

And Olbermann staged the world's first BNF Internet flounceoff.(Complete with obligatory shame-faced return...I was a little embarrassed for him, actually. Cliche much?)

Whoa! When did this happen? and what's a BNF?

BNF--Big Name Fan. Erika can describe the event with much more verve than I could.

"Fake his own death and get his fake girlfriend to tell us."

"No, that's insane... Nobody would.."

"I still win."

I can't decide if I want to COMM this or cry.

I didn't mention it, at the time because it lasted a day and a half, max.(And it's embarrassing when one of your primary lust objects acts like a fourteen-year-old "If you like this, I'll write more," girl.) Obama delivers tepid Gulf speech...Olbermann climbs downs his throat like a laryngoscope...factions complain, on both sides...I think they both have a point, but then things just BLEW UP. Somebody said "corporate shill" once too often or something, despite the fact that,to hide how much we heart the famous people coming on there, they always have to do that. So, KO, who never met a bait he didn't rise to on his best day(and who has lost his parents within six months, to be fair) writes a diary and stalks off like he is One of Us. Except he's not. Websites from all over cover it, and he ends up apologizing anyway. Yikes. ETA: The low point was when he said we'd have plenty of time to think of that when he was replaced by a wingnut host. And, yeah, Connie, I couldn't get over people defending a flounce-off as the sign of a "toxic atmosphere" and.. I can act the fool on the internet because nobody knows me. You know? So of course Red State had this thing "Even Wacko Left Sick of Olbermann," like I need to know what's on Erik Ericson's mind ever.

Because Sources Are Our friends: Politico covers The Flounceoff [link] and the return, by mediaite [link] So much Drama. Politics is fandom for ugly people. Without fangs or Spock ears.ETA: Cass, you could do both. The whole time I'm thinking "If I just made $7 Million last year, I would *so* not be doing that."

So I read Grammar Girl on farther vs further and I understand farther refers to physical distance and further metaphorical. Although a lot of people think it's OK to use the words interchangaby I still try to be as correct as possible. Is time physical or metaphorical? Did Marty McFly go farther or further back in time?
