They've moved on to "Mormon's aren't Christian!"

FWIW, I know several Mormons who have stated clearly, "Mormons aren't Christian, we're Mormon." You get into odd Mormon theology in the explanation, which most people don't care about and which the rabid religious folk would find even more evidence of "Evil! Burn it with fire!"

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Tommyrot, here's your 3D printer.

3D printing with chocolate and cheese?!?!?! I want to go to there. Quick, someone come up with a business I can start that would require me to have one of those.

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

"Why are you in now? What changed in your condition from 8 last night to now? Why come in at 3:00?"

Ha! They don't ask me that question anymore. I have been grumpily clear that if I have to sit around and be ignored by doctors, I'd rather do it in my own apartment.

A cheese and chocolate printing business! Go!

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

Creepy robot baby.

I'll say. I want a robot that can take care of me, keep track of my appointments and clean my bathroom and what not. What's the point of a needy robot that can't even take care of itself?

That's so simple it might work. Huh.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

Because Robot Services just don't give a frak.

more likely to be moderate rather than completely polarizing once in office

Erm, Matt, have you forgotten the Clinton years? I haven't. Newt is probably more polarizing than ANY of the other GOP candidates, because he is completely on board with a scorched-earth strategy when it comes to politics.

This is, after all, the guy who shut down the federal government in a fit of pique for being snubbed by Clinton on a flight to Israel.

Okay, here is my pick of Graham Norton's would you rather questions: Would you rather be able to fly, or have a threesome every week?

Fly.

Edited to show my work: I think "this would be so much easier/quicker/better if I could fly" pretty frequently. I'm pretty sure if I chose threesome that after just a few weeks I would be thinking "Has it been week already? That is way more social than I want to be..."
