Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

As the Daily Kos says, the rich aren't like you or me:

Goldman: Flu Fear Spurs Donation!

Having inoculated its employees with H1N1 vaccine dosages usurped from pregnant women and children, Goldman Sachs has increased its vigilance against the contagious virus by banning employee contact with spare change.

An internal memo outlines steps staff should take to avoid becoming ill, starting with the eradication of the potentially infected currency that may have lodged itself under the seats of their automobiles. The hazardous materials are being collected and sent to Small Business for disposal.

The memo also advised employees to “resist the urge to open your own car door ; let your driver do it.”

Always Anti-fascist!

You know what, Goldman Sachs, screw you and the bougie, disinfected horse you rode in on. I felt much better about that bailout before they started...talking all the time.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I bet the drivers have crap health insurance.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

Is there a cite on that link or is it a parody?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

You guys, if you have a Lord & Taylor charge, you should totally shop their big sale. I should have bought more. I got one work dress, two casual shirts, and one shirt that could go either way (thought it was a work shirt, but liked it over the jeans I was already wearing) for $87. The dress alone was originally $138!

Luckily, I also came home to my first consulting paycheck.

Just the (Reuters) thing, without a link.

Some of the comments also wonder if it's parody.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

That has to be fake.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

LHC pictures.

"You can't put a price on the joy of not giving a shit." -Zenkitty

This weekend. What the hell am I doing this weekend? Testing code issues and reviewing Yuletide source, I suspect. I have my doubts that I'll even put on outside pants.
