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

There's a woman in the other building who wears almost-flesh-tone ballet slippers. At least I'm not trying to find her vagina while we're in the muffin line together, but if her motives involved repeated fake outs she's totally winning here.

I try and look and see shoes, but all I can see is optical illusion of work clothes and bare feet, and...yeah. At least it's not a vagina.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Has this been posted here yet? [link] I now realize it's 10 days old, so probably. But still!

HOLY WHITE PEOPLE, BATMAN!!! Wow, you’re thinking – this is not some Mexirican in the Sun Belt we need to attract via harsh anti-Castro policies or appeals to “valores de familia” - this is the BREAD AND BUTTER OF THE GRAND OLD PARTY, a Mayflower-descended small business owner, burdened by taxation, looking out for his beautiful White family in the suburbs of a city (St Louis) surrounded by racial tension and urban blight!

How can I put this gently? My wife and I are not sensitive to your messaging, nor did we vote for the candidates you proposed for us this past Tuesday.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

The co-worker who is in my line of sight (not Chatty) has a too-small knit beige dress she wears A LOT. And when it's first thing in the morning, and I'm insufficiently caffeinated, well, it looks like she came to work wearing a belt and Uggs, and that's just freaky. (Let us not even speak of her choice to wear Uggs with a dress.)

I've entered multiple lotteries for inauguration tickets. Senator Boxer has no info yet about hers. Growl.

Clearly, you're not supposed to read the comments. But near the top is a frothy film of Birtherism, and I cannot understand how their keyboards fail to immolate them and their computers entirely. I mean, you can sincerely mean:

Hollie, if you believe that Obama has not spent millions as a public figure. you are not thinking at all. He spends other people's money and you should bleiev it is millions. He has also benefitted from some very sweet deals , like his home purchase in Chicago. He has been so well connected it is creepy. SO, while he has not EARNED millions, please know he has indeed spent them, and he will continue to do so

and keep on living, thinking you've accumulated facts and that they lead to your conclusion?

WHY IS THAT POSSIBLE?
