More Edwin Edwards: [link]
People here LOVE HIM.
Love isn't brains, children, it's blood, blood screaming inside you to work its will.

I worked for a press clipping agency back in his heyday, with New Orleans as my specialty. I fondly remember the trip to France he took to pay off his campaign debt.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
I guess so? You'd want to try them on that way if you wanted to wear socks, that would definitely affect the fit. Half the reason I like mine is that I don't have to wear socks with them, though.
Ah, Edwin Edwards, the politics of my youth. The thing about Louisiana's political corruption, it was often allied with some effective governance. Kinda miss that.

I'm still hot though, right?
Hotter than a pepper sprout.

Our wings are not tired.
I hope that as Vick develops a relationship with any of his future dogs, he finally and truly understands the gravity of what he did before. If he learns to truly love a pet, he'll understand the horrors he inflicted. Anyway, it's what I hope. I am quite obviously extremely biased as an unrepentant dog-lover and protector.

I truly believe he's incapable of this. He has no reason to change as he was allowed to come back into Football and have all his millions and adulation back. Plus, I just think he's irredeemable. Anybody that had a conscience in the first place wouldn't have done what he did. He won't grow one now.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Do you believe in essential unredeemability, Hec? Or just past a certain threshold of original deviation?
There's not supposed to be boring background TV. Clash of the Titans? Is that.
I almost had a kitchen accident with one of my fizzy water bottles. The cap shot off and hit the ceiling. Not entirely sure how I achieved that, and how to duplicate it.

Do you believe in essential unredeemability, Hec?
I don't believe in anyone being unredeemable. On the other hand, I don't see why the court should take that risk: Michael Vick shouldn't be allowed to have any other dogs. It's not a fundamental human right, owning pets. And hell, we take away the right to vote when someone commits a felony--why should the right to own a dog be more protected than the right to participate in the democratic process?

I have a gift-giving problem. Namely, my sister. Which is just because I haven't started for my father yet. And my sister won't even help me with that one.
I just got a Community mug which made me very happy. I can't seem to find any official AD stuff lying around. Does anyone know of good tribute T-shirts or anything?
Also, find my father a gift, will you?
