The Middle Distance

Those of you who've fandom-known me for a long time might know that mctabby was the one who badgered (and lioned and eagled and snaked) me to get an LJ in the first place, and that I've been an admirer of her Summary Executions for as long as she's been doing them, which is several years now.

So I was feeling a little MEAN GIRLZ this evening and went to see if Good Omens fandom could ever have such a wonderful thing.

( WOE )

You like me better when I shut up and write porn, don't you?

ETA: isiscolo has a proposal worthy of the Tempter himself!

I am a BAD BAD person for laughing at this as hard as I am.


Your dearly departed pet, in Bad Photoshop Heaven.

See, this is why I can't have nice things (like money). If I did, I'd be badgering them to do one of my dearly missed Marlowe taking a whizz on Jesus's robe or trying to shred the BVM's eyelids. Because he totally would. And it didn't mean he didn't like you.

Book of Virtues author Bill Bennett is under fire for his fascinating remarks about how to reduce the crime rate ("of course that would be reprehensible").

I'll take the 8/2 odds on Bennett having counted on being heard only by an audience that shares his fucked-up racist shitbag opinions (pardon my French), with the usual winknudge that's Fascist for "of course you understand the truth about those people, but we need at least some of their votes."

Gotta know when to fold 'em, Billy-boy. Know when to walk away and know when to run. I'll bet Karl Rove knows what to throw away and what to keep.

And meanwhile in the Blogosphere, DailyKos was having its politest, most eloquent, most rational shitstorm ever. I guess it's because the first poster sets the tone.

(The whole exchange in the comments is ginormous and well worth reading--well, aside from the excessive fawning like Bambi's going out of style--and maybe the funniest moment is when someone takes someone else to task for being disrespectful in addressing Senator Obama as "dude.")

Expatjourno takes exception and sets the tone for a different dialogue entirely. *shudder*

Me, I think both OPs make good points. I'm a flip-flopper that way. But maybe they are both inadvertently proving each other's.

Is this happening to anyone else? I sent an email to bugreports Friday morning but haven't heard any reply yet.

Are your genre classifications all screwed up?

Because, if you're looking at any of my stories there according to what you want to read by mood or genre, I am SO sorry right now!

( It is pretty funny, though )

Yeah. Ow.
