• It could have been worse.

  After
  the appropriately-named Dick Cheney, on the floor of the Senate, told
  Senator Patrick Leahy to go fuck himself, he said it made him feel
  better.  Well, good for him.  One mustn’t keep such things
  bottled up.  Bagging your feelings can cause pressures to build
  and then violence can erupt.  But then again, to some people such
  a suggestion would be fighting words, and there could have been a
  violent reaction, such as the one when Preston Brooks thrashed Charles
  Sumner in the Senate in 1856.   I wonder how many spectators
  would revel in a good free-for-all in the halls of Congress.  It
  might be preferable to the decorous deference that passes for respect
  among that rabble.

  My latest crop of quizshit, mostly the usual semi-literate drivel:

  I guess the most egregious floater is that “hate trends” line in the
  “deeper look” result.  Shallow would be my judgment on that
  quiz.  Aside from the point that I’m not much of a hater of
  anything, I’d never resort to the word “trend” as the noun-form for
  something trendy.  Trends are not necessarily trendy.  The
  sentence that follows that one was a nonsensical ungrammatical hash, so
  I edited it.  I left in the two references to “hate” to illustrate
  where the quiz creator’s head is at.   And who, by the way,
  is “Good Charlotte, anyway?

  As for monarchy, I couldn’t care less.

  When I get the computer back from Doug (he’s impatiently waiting right
  now), I’m going to google Tsai Wen-Chi.  She sounds interesting.

  You are a Luminoes werewolf, a breed of werewolf
  that can range from colours of gold, to blonde
  brown and sometimes a red-yellow colour.
  Luminoes werewolves are more common and are
  usually in larger packs than any of the other
  werewolf breeds because they tend to join other
  werewolf packs. They are peacful and great
  story tellers but their creativity sometimes
  shows in art and dance. They tend to mark their
  territory by clawing a symbol on trees in their
  territory.

  Ghost or spirit: You are a lost soul. Very calm and
  sweet, you are often the one who asks: What if?
  With a clever mind, you want to explore the
  world on a different level. Without the
  answers, you aren’t ready to move on. You are
  most likely very creative and find yourself
  thinking things through on a different level.

  You, my friend are a true individual. You most
  likely hate trends and are creative. Since you see
  things differently, people either admire you or
  think you are a bit strange. I’m guessing you
  are a lot like me. Perhaps a Good Charlotte
  hater? I hope so. An inspiration to us all,
  continue being you! (If you like GC, I’m sorry,
  I am just expressing an opinion)

  Rain: You are the sound of rain. You have two
  important sides. There is your strong, powerful
  side and your calm, gentle side. Both are very
  important. Rain also reflects a bit of darkness
  in your personality. It isn’t bad, just shows
  that along with the good, you also can see bad,
  which can come in handy.
