Not exactly my reaction to the Edwards v. Coulter dustup. Just, gah clueless much?
GRRRRRR. Because unless he throws a punch at someone, he's not a real man. God forbid his wife asks someone to stop saying nasty things about her dead child.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
Hillary asked SNL to stop making fun of Chelsea's looks, because she was just a little girl at the time. IIRC, they complied.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Allyson, that does suck. I guess afternoon BBQs doesn't make it feel much better.
Would the lease really be all that specific? Can they implement building rules without changing the lease.
I==dumbass. I knew the cake tasted nasty, but I had to have something to eat. I didn't realise it tasted nasty because it was a migraine trigger until I was three or four bites in. Hope I haven't undone some of my hard-earned progress.

You're not even allowed to sit silently in the garden drinking a cup of tea and reading the paper?

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Lee, it's supposed to be much nicer by the weekend.
YAY
Allyson, that sucks.

People have pointed out that they don't need Edwards to have a tough guy image (one even said if that's what got Bush elected, he'd rather have a perceived sissy man). But, he keeps ranting along.
This isn't about Coulter and landing punches and inflicting damage on her. This isn't about Republicans. This is about John Edwards and his image.
It's not a good political image right now, and the Coulter-Elizabeth fisticuffs did nothing to help him. Do you think the episode raised his stock among voters? That's my point.

The status is NOT quo.
Allyson, that's insane. I mean, I get a warning...but an absolute ban on being outside? Is that even legal?

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

When I called the landlord, he said we were welcome to be out back 24 hours, as long as we learned sign language to communicate between 8pm and 11am, and kept the backdoor locked (no one has keys to the back door, but we can totally walk around to the front).
The notice apparently says something different, though. That we're simply not allowed back there.
I'm totally accepting responsibilty. The night I got my ARCs, we were out there until midnight, and yeah, we're generally obnoxious until 10pm. I understand why people complained.
I don't think it's unfair to tell us to shut the fuck up after 8pm or whatever. I think it's unfair to tell me I can't take my computer outside and write after 8pm. Which, you know, is what I generally do when no one is around. And I keep the backdoor unlocked so that I don't have to walk past the creepy dumpsters to go around the front after dark.
