"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Cool, Hec. eta uh, xpost. Cool on the brunch with Angus, not the destruction of our civil society.

It was definitely fun seeing Angus. And I couldn't be more appalled at Obama.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

Man, I was such an emotionally deficient child, it seems.

I think Franny's behavior speaks more to her being a bit high strung, like her mother. At any rate, when I was kid I definitely felt that my reactions were the ones that were off-base. No one else was running from the room in tears when "The Three Stooges" was on tv. I was the weirdo.

I never believed Obama when he said he would veto it in the first place.

I was also a high strung child. I could not watch Grover singing "I'm so Blue", Puff the Magic Dragon, or The Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe without serious hysterics.

I am seriously having a hard time understanding why anybody would think that this isn't a gross abuse of power, and contrary to the Constitution. How is it Constitutional?

Obama has long made it clear he believes in the unitary executive, not by his words but by his actions. And MSNBC mostly kvells about how tough he is as he assassinates people all over the world. This is just a logical next step. His primary objection to the original version was that it REQUIRED indefinite detention and REQUIRED military custody. Once it allowed executive discretion Obama was fine with it, because then it was pure expansion of executive power with no new limitations on Presidential discretion.

Cranberries aren't going to give off much, if any, liquid in a cookie recipe. But the dried ones will be sweeter.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

I still don't understand how it's Constitutional, when the Constitution guarantees due process.

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

I'm not sure who Daphne Guinness is, but apparently she has used nail polish as lipstick. That sounds like such a bad idea on so many fronts. Yeowch.
