Had an awesome Halloween. There's a pumpkin that still needs carving, but I was busy and tired this weekend. Meh, I'll roast the seeds eventually at least ( Read more... )

Okay, so you may remember a post a while back speculating on Comedy Central being the Q Continuum and political figures as the Federation. If not, and if you don't want to click and browse through many comments worth of babble and plotting, here's the lowdown: Stephen Colbert the character (the loud, poorly-informed egomaniac, not the nice man who ( Read more... )

This post is to continue a conversation in an f-locked community (rahmbamarama) without flooding the original poster's inbox with inane chatter that may or may not turn into an actual fic. Fandom is fake news and politics crossed with Star Trek. ...Yes really.

Holy wow. Way to go, Iowa. State of my birth, you done me proud. :D

*snicker* I finally figured it out. I finally figured out how to keep track of and remember political suchlike.

Fandom. XD
Hahaha! All I have to do is think of it in terms of a fandom and it sticks! Thanks to the efforts of others to objectify various political figures, I can now recognize them by sight. I'm still working to familiarize myself ( Read more... )

Okay, so when I wrote my first post on the matter, I said I had not even enough interest in Jim Cramer to Wiki him. Time passed, and I hear that he was kind of obnoxious on his own show about the "showdown." As I understand it, he is generally obnoxious on his show (that being his on-air personality, almost akin to an intelligent, finance-info- ( Read more... )

Further proof that I am in fact a fucked-up individual.

(Two months ago I didn't even know who Rahm Emanuel was, and now I can come up with on the spot tasteless jokes about him. Why did these skills not manifest during my history or statistics classes in college? WHY?!)
