I had a dream last night that I was a teenaged Lisa Simpson and that I went to prom and my date roofied me, but it was an accident and he was really nice about it and took care of me, then we went to an office building and Smoke Monster Locke and Sawyer were there and Locke turned into a skeleton and then me and my prom date left to watch the sun come up, but then he made me slaughter a goat while hanging upside down from a building and then drop a fridge on him, because it was actually all just an elaborate plot to kill himself.

Whooaaaaaaaaaaaa!

I just feel like somewhere, Judy Blume just burned all her books, like, ‘Whatever, I guess I needn’t have bothered.’
Linda Holmes, on why Twilight’s heroine is pretty awful

I wonder which is more preferable— to walk around all your life swollen up with your own secrets until you burst from the pressure of them, or to have them sucked out of you, every paragraph, every sentence, every word of them, so at the end you’re depleted of all that was once as precious to you as hoarded gold, as close to you as your skin— everything that was of the deepest importance to you, everything that made you cringe and wish to conceal, everything that belonged to you alone— and must spend the rest of your days like an empty sack flapping in the wind, an empty sack branded with bright fluorescent label so that everyone will know what sort of secrets used to be inside you?

We followed the most radical voices in the party and the movement, and they led us to abject and irreversible defeat.

David Frum, on the Democrats’ health care reform win today.

May this finally, finally let Republican leaders know that Fox News is basically arming its party only to shoot itself in the foot. Or, say, the testicles.

jocasta: janambm: lindsaykatai: Apparently Tito also came 2 America 2 destroy ur grammar. I think Sarah Palin might be an LOL Cat. It’s the only explanation for her war on the English language. okay, I don’t mind people picking on Sarah Palin. Seriously. 99.9% of the time, I don’t mind it at all, HOWEVER, no one on twitte uses proper grammar. at least, most of the time. i’m just saying, it’s 140 characters, right? i’ve never used twitter but i’m fairly certain that’s the limit. don’t pick on someone because they use ‘u’ instead of ‘you’. everyone does it.  I think it’s important to address this: I hate ALL OF THOSE PEOPLE TOO. If you can’t form a thought that can be expressed in 140 characters and is well written, then I don’t want to read what you have to say. Brevity is the soul of wit. Brevity is not the soul of using numbers in place of words and eschewing spaces after question marks, ampersands, and commas. Brevity is not the soul of writing like a moron. Furthermore, this woman aspires to the Presidency of the United States of America. If Lincoln can write one of the most timeless speeches in this country’s history and do it in a mere 10 sentences, then this woman can write her idiotic populist pandering in the span of 140 characters without resorting to shortcuts.
