Oh, Bethany is such a romantic. You mean lefty-types are hurting her girlish feelings. Why won’t you stop oppressing her with your cold, hard facts and let the poetry that burns deep within her soul flow forth?

I'm impressed with how lazy the Benghazi conspiracy theorists are, in that they don't even really bother to come up with a conspiracy theory.

Compare them with the birthers, who went through all that effort of photoshop "analysis," (mis)translation of Kenyan videos, etc. The Benghazoids are far more efficient. Just keep saying "Benghazi" over and over again; it's good enough.

So if I train my preschooler, she can go armed, too? That'll teach the other kids to share the blocks.

Bethany: There is still hope for you. We saw in this election cycle a young man who became a16-year old conservative icon in 2008 by supporting Sen. John McCain come to his senses and speak out for Mr. Obama. Of course, getting invited to too many conservative private parties may have had some influence on that decision. And you've got nothing to worry about in that department, begin a girl and all.

Stil - we won't give up on you! You may see the light.

It's been pissing down rain here, so naturally my attack cat took advantage of the downpour to catch a fucking sparrow. While I was watching.

Luckily, I don't give much of a shit about sparrows.

I was gonna say something about bull terrier, but then I read your comment again, so I'll just shut up now.

Nah, you can't ever build up any speed on Lombard, on account of all the switchbacks.

<a href="http:\/\/www.our-food-recipes.com\/ancient-mayan-food.html" target="_blank">"It is believed that popcorn is a Mayan invention."</a> Someone, somewhere on the interwebs, will have already posted your most inspired bit of sublime nonsense as gospel truth. "The river Alph ran through caverns measuring 10.65 kilometers."

So a clueless 16-year-old, spouting non sequiturs and/or Faux News sound bites, is a wingnut heroine. Color me surprised.

As it happens, <i>I</i> don't get the parody. I've just walked up and down Lombard.
