It is staggering to me that half of the country chose a traitorous, fascistic, child-raping con-man to be president again (especially after he failed the first time around ( Read more... )

I really, really thought you would beef up your offensive line, after it cost you the Super Bowl last year. What gives?

I'm nearing the end of Buffy The Vampire Slayer: S7 in my garage-biking re-watch. This is my least favorite season of the show, the one in which Joss Whedon breaks all his toys and goes home.
