MY EV0L IZ PASTEDE ON YAY

Remember about a week ago, when onnakitty said I wasn't going to trick her into reading LotRiPS (except annakovsky's ongoing Dom/Xander story) like I'd done with her best friend, Em?

In the car on the way to Costco this afternoon, I looked over to see her reading something on her Palm.

me: "What are you reading?"
her: "The Only Way Out is Through"
me: *gleefully* "Mmmm, angst."
her: *grinning* "Lots."
me: "Oh! If that's the copy I beamed to you for Em to read, there's only the first nineteen parts there. I'll need to give you the updated file for the last part."
her: "It's also missing a part in the middle somewhere -- around 12, I think."

When we got home, she presented me with her Palm so I could beam her the finalized copy of the story. *g* My work here is done.

Time to go read the final installment in the Viggo's Fight Club series, and then write some fic of my own.

Politics

Gakked in full from wolfshark (as posted in voteworks) and not cut because I think it's important:

"I believe that the president's leadership in the actions taken in Iraq demonstrate an incompetence in terms of knowledge, judgment and experience in making the decisions that would have been necessary to truly accomplish the mission without the deaths to our troops and the cost to our taxpayers."
--House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi

One of the Emperor's particularly nasty minions, the House Majority leader [Tom DeLay], responded:

"Nancy Pelosi should apologize for her irresponsible, dangerous rhetoric. She apparently is so caught up in partisan hatred for President Bush that her words are putting American lives at risk."

(Source: CNN)

That's right, folks, it's now official: criticize our so-called President and you are endangering American lives.

But a better president than Dubya said this:

"To announce that there must be no criticism of the president, or that we are to stand by the president right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public." - Theodore Roosevelt (1918)

I suggest the following meme: Everyone who is so inclined, write down that Roosevelt quote on a postcard and send it to the dear House Majority Leader at either of the following addresses:

The Hon. Tom DeLay
242 Cannon HOB
Washington, DC 20515

The Hon. Tom DeLay
Office of the House Majority Leader
H-107 The Capitol
Washington, DC 20515

Then post this info in your journal and see if we can generate a big, fat reminder that dissent and criticism are not treason.
