I want the president to be the smartest person in the room!
Yes! But then again, I'd also much rather have a beer with someone brilliant, so I'm not sure that test was actually for me.
We're taking a moment ... and we're done.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Gud, if your friend is saying that everyone on the Left should passively allow Trump to do whatever he wants without objection or comment, I'd quote Edmund Burke at him:
"The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing."

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
Help, I have a cat on my lap. Well, I did, until Mr. S(aka Mr. Grabbyhands) scared her away. Sigh.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Hil, I'd push back on that too. Don't let that stand as is on your official review.

Yeah, get it in the record that that is not your understanding that online teaching is an accommodation and you did not ask for it as such, at the very least.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Watching last night's Scandal, and the one thing that made me think, "But that would never happen!!" is about the electoral college.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
Jesse, I watched it last night too. I agree that would not happen wrt the electoral college. They would likely pick someone, anyone from the same party rather than the opponent. Also, I'm pretty sure Jake had something to do with the assassination since he was missing when the results were coming in, and I'm also suspicious of Vargas's wife for no other reason than I think all that time spent on whether or not she had her cellphone is going to be important.

Got an email tonight that if you donate $25 to Elizabeth Warren's 2018 Senate campaign, you get an official "Nevertheless, she persisted" shirt. So I'm probably going to have to do that.
One of saddest things about leaving Massachusetts is that she isn't my Senator anymore!

Thanks. I'm looking to persuade, and that's a great quote.
