making a nuisance of himself towards women
Ruh-roh.

it's not a lot for a country of _millions_ of people
It's a lot when abortion providers number below 2000 (I found numbers: Between 1996 and 2000, the number of U.S. abortion providers declined by 11 percent -- from 2,042 to 1,819. In the year 2000, 87 percent of U.S. counties did not have an abortion provider). The low death toll can be attributed to the small number of targets, not the tender beauty of all the rosary-praying people at the clinic entrance.
Also: pray at home, people. Hovering outside the gate with beads is just a fake-assed way of intimidating women and their families and friends.

you went on record as being moved by a manipulative idol style program. That's going to be hard to live down the next time you delve into music style-meister territory.
Coolier-than-thou douchewaddery. Great, that's just what this thread needed after the influx of concern trolling.
I'm writing up a PAS-Thread Death Spiral Bingo Card.

a Gen X love-in
Dude, we're waaayyy too apathetic for that sort of carry-on.

And you, scarecrow, I think I'll miss you most of all.
And the murder was in Kansas! Oh, it's all too, too apposite.

I only ever understand about 10% of Keith's posts, because I do not grok Teh Maths. But after reading his particularly righteously-phrased deconstruction-of-economics-stuff pieces, I always feel like I should be standing behind him as a hype-person, with one white towel over my shoulder, going 'yeeeeah!' and 'DAMN right!'
It's kind of inspirational.

'Drunk Asshole Hotel'
That show was hideous/glorious! I remember it well. Who was the 'token nerd' guy they brought in? Dave? All the hot, shallow, stupid out of work actors looked at him as though he was an alien from another, less evolved planet. Hilarity.
Flavor of Love and Rock of Love give me similar joy.

Project Runway and Top Chef are both truly fascinating. For one thing, the contestants are often very weird, interesting, passionate, talented people who desperately love what they're doing. They create amazing things with limited materials at high speed. I am often quite awestruck at their skill. Plus, as an audience member, you get all the fun of being in on an intense competitive experience, with all the conflict/joking around/romance/impromptu musical numbers that entails.
(I love The Amazing Race , but my husband can't bear it. He's very sensitive to the whole 'Americans travelling the world yelling at people' issue.)

I often think that I will go off on a big rant about the greatness of certain parts of 'reality' television during these discussions. There are often pure, crazed moments of utter surprise and weirdness - a little kid pulling a face, the strange machinations of groups of people trying to assert power over each other - that keep me watching.
But there isn't any point to my rant, because everyone who watches 'reality television' is stupid, and all the shows are crap. I keep being told this, over and over, so it must be true.

Over at Kiwiblog (I won't link - find it yourselves) the nutters are positvely gleeful at the murder of the "babykiller".
I shall not go there, because I don't want to have some kind of overwhelming urge to, like, enragedly slap people for being SO FUCKING STUPID. ARGH.
Too late. :)
