But Bill would totally run again, if not for the fact that Hillary would bite off his head, devour his sweet, sweet viscera, and use his dessicated husk to incubate her eggs for the 2012 campaign.

Of course, if Bill did run again, the Republicans would have to break out Zombie Bob Dole to challenge him. And they just can't afford to buy the steady supply of cow hearts it would take to induce Zombie Bob Dole to run.

Today is the best day of the year. Barely any sun to stab into your eyes, no ball of thermonuclear hellfire pouring its wrath into your skull every time you step outside. Everything is covered in soothing, soothing darkness.

From here on, it's downhill. It all just gets brighter and hotter. Alas.

Eh. It doesn't seem like a matter of left or right wing. The headlines ought to read: "Local Nutjob Finally Snaps, Manages to Get Fool Self on National News."

Paul must have reached Serious Contender status if Making Light is, well, making light of him.

I'd be content with a car-mounted cell phone jammer that had a hundred yard radius. Or some sort of electronics-destroying EMP device that I could activate every time I saw some idiot yammering into his Razr while making a left turn through a yellow light at 50 miles an hour.

But all the really fun toys are illegal. Alas.

Wow.

Talk about an understanding of the internet and copyright that makes Ted Stevens look like Richard Stallman.

I keep telling people that they only need two things, just two, for a successful wedding:

-Lots of pizza.

-A variety of refreshing adult beverages.

Alas, no one ever listens to me.

(Plus, a moratorium on excruciatingly bad poetry read by the bride's younger sister wouldn't hurt anything, either.)

Ooh! Ooh! I got another:

You just don't understand my uniquely special experience of total specialness, so STFU.

Sometimes books are wiser than their writers.

That's all there is to it.

Politics aside, I'm just astonished that a politician was telling the truth. Romney must have been telling the truth, because why on earth would anyone lie about Battlefield Earth to gain electoral advantage? It'd be a bit like claiming Catwoman is your favorite movie so you could appeal to cat owners

Really? And here I thought the DST shift was a massive plot by Microsoft to force Exchange 2000 admins to upgrade to Exchange 2007.

But, really, staking Milosevic doesn't seem like such a bad idea. You know. Just in case.

I don't know the exact meaning, but I recognized the language, and its origin, at once.

Now I'm going to go play chess online, drink ginger ale, and celebrate my immutable geekiness.

The pigs always become the new farmers, in the end, and Dark Lords are never destroyed, only replaced.

That what all that tiered-Internet BS is really about. Not about money, or ownership, or capitalism, but about getting inconvenient people to shut up.

I'd always wondered what Kurtz meant in Heart of Darkness when he said "The horror, the horror."

And now I know.

Go out today. Vote Democratic.

Except, of course, for Fred Head. Don't generalizations suck?

#23 Greg London:

In one of his tapes before the Iraq war, bin Laden compared Cheney and Powell to Hulagu Khan, so I guess 1258 is still recent enough for some people.

If I recall correctly, Hulagu Khan killed somewhere between 90,000-250,000 people when the Mongols destroyed Baghdad in 1258.

But I guess a quarter of a million dead people don't count as the wages of defeat.

Sherman, for all that he's been reviled, was probably the Civil War commander with the clearest understanding of what war really was (and is). When South Carolina broke away, he wrote a letter to a friend predicting almost exactly how the war would destroy the South, and everybody knows about his "War is hell" quote.
