I've pretty given up on the idea that anything will be done about climate change. It's just nuts here. I think there are 4 climate scientists with peer-reviewed articles who dispute human-caused climate change, not 4%, 4. They are assuming that the essentially every climate scientist and many governments are all in on a world-wide conspiracy. Crazy. Nonetheless, there's nothing that can be done to stop it, the fight is over.
It's simple. I slap 'em around a bit, torture 'em, make their lives hell...Sure, the nice guys'll run away,but every now and then you'll find a prince like Spike who gets off on it.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
I'm pleased I'm now close personal friends with a governor! I should call him today!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I was in a grocery store that caught fire, dropped my stuff on the conveyor belt, and went straight to the pub across the street to camp out on the patio and watch it burn.
We had a tsunami alert once while dining on the beach in Malibu. We decided there wouldn't be enough time to get out of the danger area, so we just kept eating, knowing we'd have the best wave view ever.
Also, one of the most final.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
If he invites you for a cocktail party, I would politely decline.

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

Yeah, ITA.
Still, how much you wanna bet that when global warming becomes completely obvious to everyone, Limbaugh, Palin et al will blame global warming on Obama and Clinton. And maybe Carter and Johnson.

Luckily, the internets haz the cure for post-election blahs....

Speaking of, Avon just walked over my keyboard. How do I get the fixed left pane back in google reader? Clicking on the side doesn't seem to work.

You should call him! And tell him you'll be writing a tell-all book. Come on, people, have you no sense of opportunity for scandal? All this being happy for your friends in high places. It will not stand!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Well, NYC has infinitely more bridges, tunnels, and trains, than San Francisco does. I feel for the people that have to come in today for work or other reasons.
Oh, I meant just for me personally, crossing the parade route to get to work, not the rest of the suckers!
