Like a rent party?
Spike: Heard what happened up top, offing your dad and all. Don't know if you know this, but, uh…I killed my mum. Actually, I'd already killed her, and then she tried to shag me, so I had to-- Wesley: Thank you. I'm…very comforted.

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

People are going to get worked up about "is she or isn't she racist?!?!?" and completly miss that she's utterly fucking ignorant, aren't they?
For the people saying that she didn't know what the term actually meant, I'm not really certain how someone could have heard the term and known its usage well enough to know that it sort-of meant "unfounded accusation," but not know where it came from.

You left out narcissistic.
We seriously all need to stop feeding the troll.

I assumed she coined the term herself. It sounded made-up. It's libel! But with blood!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I can see it, for a generally unthinking person who hangs around anti-semites?

The term sounded vaguely familiar to me, but I was seeing it more in terms of "a libel so heinous it can only be paid for in blood," rather than to a specific usage of blood, like swearing blood vengeance. I have heard of the accusation of the use of the blood in passover, though, through studies of history.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

You assume that she's actually listening to the conversations in which she heard the phrase.
She hears the word "blood" she hears the word "libel"... she runs with it. She was mostly there to look sassy.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
A party you have to pay to go to? Seriously? Is this a networking party where you're paying for the quality of the people you'll be introduced to? If it doesn't include free alcohol and a Legend of Rock, forget it. How good can it be?
Damn, Palin continues to astonish me. Her ignorance, her racism, her apparent inability to comprehend either one, and the depths to which she'll sink to explore them. Just astonishing.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
A party you have to pay to go to?
These are not common? Maybe it's a regional/black/age thing, but I've been aware of them for a while. Never cared to go to one, though. And certainly not this one.
Last night's Southland--anyone watched?
