Cheney and Kissinger are actual war criminals, so I'd give them the edge there.

I used to think the nastiest man in politics was Jesse Helms.

Here's my conversational showstopper: I saw Helms without a shirt on.

Kissinger and Cheney certainly qualify as evil, but both have sort of a coldness to them that doesn't make "nastiest" to me.

ION have we seen my president singing Amazing Grace in his eulogy for Clementa Pinckney? This day, people. [link]

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

My day at work has been a roller coaster of good and annoying, but now I have a beer, so that's nice. The flip side of that is it was from a going-away party for a colleague I like very much!

I think nasty needs to be closer to off the rails, saying things that are completely whacked out.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

My gay ex-boyfriend M.* just called to discuss recent events. He and his long-term boyfriend J. the fashion designer are not getting married, but are most happy that they COULD, and they are buying a terrific and terrifically expensive place together, in Queens. He is appropriately terrified.

*He's actually gay ex-boyfriend #2, so he has to be distinguished from #1, who is W.

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

Timelies all!

Great way to start the weekend, huh? (and Pride weekend in many places, to boot)

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

Wow, the president singing Amazing Grace is incredibly moving, for so many reasons. As in 2008, I feel like we are living through one of those moments in history.

Here's my conversational showstopper: I saw Helms without a shirt on.

Whoa. That's like ita seeing Carrot Top naked, only mercifully a more PG-13 version.

How the hell did that happen? You walk into some sort of Congressional changing room?

You have to think that, in the back of his head, he's thinking "bookmark this week for the Presidential Library."

I don't have anyone specific to say this to, thankfully, but can we all remember that it took the Supreme Court to make interracial marriage legal nationwide as well?
