Someone brilliant here thinks that adding Tony Blair to the mix will somehow be an improvement. As if Libya and Gaddafi never happened. [link]
I want some of the drugs the brilliant consultants are taking. How in the what...
This must be what going mad feels like.

I guess that the silver lining is that they didn't ask for Kissinger.

I'm a fucking amazing catch!--Fiona Gallagher, Shameless(US)
Karl, I second that emotion. The consultants to whatever make everything worse. Sure have done electoral politics no favors, unless 1. Dumber and 2. costs more are, you know, selling points for some reason. Not surprising they also blight international relations.

Shir, you're quite right, in a sick humored kind of way.

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

This football game is KILLING me. What the fuck, Bengals?
[edit] Heh, my mom and stepdad are still in Italy and they're watching the game in a bar in Sorrento, and our family group text is full of bitching about the game. I hope my stepdad isn't yelling at the TV and freaking out the folks in the bar.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
And I kept saying "Not having something horrible happen to you doesn't mean you don't have to deal with your own stuff. It's OK if things are difficult for you, even if others have it worse. Their worse blows don't lessen your own's".
Yes, absolutely. I think some of that is that I'm dealing with my stuff (whatever "my stuff" is), and I can't imagine how she is dealing with her stuff, so her stuff must be worse. And yes, some people's stuff is worse! But a lot of people's stuff is really hard and most of them get through the day most of the time.

Happy Birthday Jessica!
I have swept my driveway, carport, patio, and back patio mostly free of leaves and pine needles, de-cobwebbed my front living room window, put out the trash, and visited with the alley cats this afternoon. As usual, two of the three were affectionate and one suspiciously ate the offered food until it looked like I was going to pet her, at which point she zipped away and spent the next hour hanging around out of arm's reach to demonstrate how much she disapproves.
