Well, if you're going to write mean satire, it better be better than, like Seth McFarlane at the Oscars.
Mal: How drunk was I last night? Jayne: Well I dunno. I passed out.

Spike's Bitches 48: I Say, We Go Out There, and Kick a Little Demon Ass.
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
I've got an interview on Skype in ten minutes. I've prepped a lot -- I know a lot about the school and everything -- and I put on a nice shirt and makeup and made sure the part of the room that will show in the Skype screen is clean. (I've tried a couple of different arrangements, and the best I can do is an angle that will show a wall, part of a door, and part of my TV screen in the background. I'd rather not have the TV there, but all the other options are worse.) (And makeup is because I realized during my last Skype interview that the combination of webcam and weird lighting made me look yellow.)

That went OK, I think. We'll see, I guess.

Job~ma, Hil.
I'm at the bookstore, and I'm even on time! Did I mention that yesterday one of my fellow shelvers wanted to discard two copies of the Best American Nonrequired reading because of "questionable content". It really pissed me off so I said I would get the books myself.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
What the heck, sj?
I've been texting with my sister and she suggested I may be developing PMDD. She might not be wrong. That's a party I have no interest in attending.

I know! He doesn't seem to have a problem with the zillions of copies of the 50 shade books we get in every week.

Okay, he said something about the pictures being questionable. The only "pictures" I can find in either of them are cartoons. No nudity, just a few swear words.

I like those...the only things I hate about the cartoons are that they are blurry on my kindle.

One of my customers tonight works at the local dollar store which has been closed for several months because the roof collapsed from all the snow this winter. The employees were told they could apply for unemployment while the store was being rebuilt but so far nobody has received anything. I feel so bad for them.

Although satire is often quite mean, and often skewers those below as well as those above the writer's social class.
One thing that Eurononnies brought up time and time again at FFA after the Charlie Hebdo shootings is that the way US people keep using the word doesn't encompass all of the nuances of Euro, and esp. French, usage.
