Yes, it's terribly simple. The good guys are always stalwart and true, the bad guys are easily distinguished by their pointy horns or black hats, and, uh, we always defeat them and save the day. No one ever dies, and everybody lives happily ever after.

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

This afternoon, I had to explain that escarole is a not a fish and what MythBusters is. What is happening? Where am I? Did I get out of bed in Bizarro World?

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

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?

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

Took Nova in for her teeth cleaning. They ended up pulling two teeth(which were loose anyway), but otherwise everything's fine. (Well, Nova's still a bit unsteady on her feet, but I assume that'll get better with time)

see also - any politician. also, investment managers. also producers.

He has also benefitted from some very sweet deals

see also - any person of means, influence, or family connections that provide either. see also - models, entertainers, and haymakers within those industries.

He has been so well connected it is creepy.

creepy for him, but not others (see above). why?

He's hiding his real birth records, but not his grades, and maybe some tax returns, but not as many as Romney.

I learnt all this.

Also I learnt how to make a incredibly detailed request of the DBAs, because they barely tolerate people speaking English. Look, I think "structure only dump" is a perfectly legit specification.

Man, I wish the relevant developer were here. I am making some shit up.
