Spike? It's you. It's really you! My therapist thought I was holding on to false hope, but…I knew you'd come back. You're like…you're like Gandalf the White, resurrected from the pit of the Balrog, more beautiful than ever. Oh…he's alive Frodo. He's alive.

Brenda, good luck on your HR meeting. That's going to be rough, but maybe your friend will learn from it. In this economic environment, being a dick is the sort of thing that gets your resume filtered into the recycling bin. And word does tend to get around.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

right? that made my day.

aww fuckit. I assume most of you know what the above refers to. I'm too tired and cranky to put in a proper ref.

Well, I read it somewhere that wasn't the Onion, although, can I remember now? Of course not. But it happened at least once. I can't get enough of what Rachel euphemistically calls "Santorum's Google Problem,"(Sometimes, I think it's weird that she's so delicate. Not that S&P would let her say *that* on TV anyway. But, you feel me, right?)

OMG I love Charlie Pierce with a deep and pure love: [link]

As a result of the Santorum, erm, surge, Romney "must move even further right, which means he might ultimately end up running for Mayor of Gibraltar."

Yeah, the whole thing is just marvelous. Charlie Pierce is a national treasure (although I doubt anyone to the right of Obama would agree).

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

I have never viewed the FLOTUS job as something potentially fun before Michelle.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Any use of the phrase "Santorum surges" or possibly "Santorum comes from behind" is so very, hilariously unfortunate.

I know! I couldn't help myself.

Someone tell me to stop spanking bigots spouting legal hogwash on John Scalzi's blog. It's not good for my blood pressure, and I come across as terrifically condescending.
