Brigits_Flame August Entry 02 - Brave and Crazy

[kenderlord]

Night falls on Honolulu: a woman in a hotel room binds her hair into a bun and smears dark paint under her eyes.  She is nearly ready.

The device at her hip buzzes.  She answers.

“Yes.”

“I’m just calling one more time, honey -” Her husband.

“Yosef!  Nothing you say will stop me from doing this.”

“I’m just saying we’re worried.  I mean, the boys and I

Hey, I am your editor for Bridgit's Flame this week

[kenderlord]

This is a rich resource!

Did you find yourself getting irritated by Taitz's depiction, or did it seem gentle enough? While I may think that the lady is distracting us (or did, for a while) as a nation, I didn't want this portrayal to be particularly acid-tongued.

"In like Flynn" is just an expression; I wish I'd had the forethought to say In Like Quinn (as in Pat Quinn, the governor of Illinois. I know! Hilarious.), but no. It doesn't mean anything specific.

I tried to make Orly less of a caricature by having her talk to her husband, having him use Hebrew terms of endearment (and punning ones, too. I don't know if you speak Hebrew, but "or sheli" means, roughly, "light of my life".).

Nah, this is actually one of the most, I don't really know how to put this, unbiased, charcuteries of a person that someone probably doesn't like that I have read, especially when it comes to politics.
So really good job on that.

I don't really know that much about the person in question, so I wouldn't really know if you were exaggerating or not, but most of it just seemed like typical description.
And i did enjoy the husband part, but before reading it, I would have liked a little bit more background so I would know what I was getting into to.

(a little bit of something I was thinking while i read The person who apparently is Michelle Malkin, I thought was Michelle Obama and I was wildly thinking to myself, "Why is she sabotaging her husbands campaign." Because for me she was definitely the more prominent Michelle last year) hahaha

Oh! Right, no this is supposed to be taking place right now.

The Facts Were These: Orly Taitz was scarcely a blip during the campaign; it was only after Obama was inaugurated that she really came up as Queen Of The Birthers. It was only after Obama became President that the soldier Taitz represents could bring the lawsuit (that, given Obama's alleged non-citizen status, said soldier could not obey his orders as Commander-in-Chief, and therefore could not deploy to Iraq or Afghanistan.).

Hahaha oh god I don't want to make _anyone_ into charcuterie! What a sweeney-todd idea.

But yes, correct. it is Michelle Malkin.

thanks for the insight,
sometimes I am just really frustrated at the lengths people will go to try and discredit people, it happened in the Bush administration and it is happening now, people just need to stick to the straight up facts for there arguments instead of making up stories..

and if you "the facts were these" comment was directed at pushing daisies that is totally awesome

[kenderlord]

How could it be directed at anything else? *grins*

[sporty502]

*sob*
unfortunatly it is over (but if you do not mind my self-promotion)
i wrote an obituary on my journal if you want to check it out ; )
