Clarke's right, some of the very things "they" were saying about him are now being said about McClellan. But Clarke's being kind, because the "they" he refers to included Scotty himself.

It shouldn't surprise Scotty that they're running these plays on him. He helped write the playbook.

I would totally watch that series.

If Companions are so highly regarded, why is Inara insulted when Mal calls her a whore?

They're respected in the Core systems. The frontier (and Mal) is more provincial. Inara's experiencing culture shock.

I like your forum, by the way.

(I think I got the ROT-13 right.)

(2) Yes the guy on the train was being a jerk. Sticking hands in face is a no-no. No he would not have done the same to a guy. I'll bet his friends were mocking him for getting "shot down" which was why he decided to push it.

I’m the decider and I decide what’s best.

I don't know: to some extent that's a perfectly reasonable description of what it means to have executive authority.

Not in a Republic with a system of checks and balances.

They should filibuster, but they should make it clear, as they miserably failed to do in the preliminary hearings, that Alito's membership in Concerned Alumni of Princeton isn't an issue...it's the Presidential power thing, followed by the Roe v. Wade thing.

Unfortunately, my Senators are Dole and Burr...but I'm e-mailing them anyway.
