The spookiest thing to me is that in Atwood's mythos, Gilead starts with an evangelical Christian being elected to President in 2012.
Wow, I didn't remember that. (It's been almost twenty years since I read it.) That's ... terrifying.
Let's all move to Spain, huh? Live on the beach? Or something like that? Fiji would also be nice! They have internet, right?
Invoking the FPC, today has been unbelievably frustrating. Started the day sitting on the side of Mulholland waiting for AAA to put my spare tire on and have lost most of my day (and productivity) to dealing with it. Blah.

Thanks for sparking my nightmares!
I feel the need for some wingnuts I can laugh at without also cringing. And lo, they provide!
It’s very clear what side President Obama is on here in Wisconsin. Behind the stage where he will speak today are two flags: an American one, as usual, and right alongside it — and a flag for the local union, Wisconsin 1848.
This would be from Obama's visit to Masterlock yesterday. And the flag in question is the Wisconsin state flag. [link]
Unions get flags? I want a flag.
Dear women of Oklahoma,
California is quite nice almost year round, and we consider you to be people.
Love,
California
I want to join Local 1848.
Thanks for sparking my nightmares!
Just call me the ita ! of literary allusions.
Oh, jesus, I saw a reference to that Wisconsin flag story earlier, and I could not work out what they were talking about. I've never seen the Wisconsin state flag before, and that's all that flag could be in my head. A Wisconsin 1848 union flag made and continues to make no sense.
Someone give me money, okay?
Right, tripping on down the list of random things I recorded, and now it's Something Borrowed, which is Ginnifer Goodwin being totally man-stupid again, and I don't understand a) how these movies get made and b) why I feel a compulsion to actually watch the crap I recorded during some obviously more hormonal moment.
And, basically, I don't effectively get hormonal.

I think he was thinking 1848 was a union local number.
