For egregiouslypink

And now to work on The Best Fucking AU On The Planet (Now With 100% More Misha Collins), As Dubbed, Instigated, Invented and Co-Written By egregiouslypink. I find this is a working title that tends to grow on one.

GUYS. YOU GUYS. MISHA COLLINS IS SHIPPING HIMSELF WITH MICHELLE OBAMA.

I...I seriously don't know what to do with that.

Context.

Jason Jones: I'M SORRY, I MUST HAVE BLOOD IN MY EAR.

Oh Daily Show, never change.

( And now a Supernatural AU of the Political/Punditry fandom has eaten my brain. )

And now, because there is a magnificent one brewing over the ocean, a mix of songs that I, for whatever reason, associate with thunderstorms:



( Songs for lovers of thunder and the norms of storms. )

Icons!

Guys, there is the most brilliant crack going down over at the rahmbamarama drabble posts. I'm serious. Hours, and hours and hours of amusement.

Seriously there is a Chuck Norris Rahm Emanuel Facts Drabbble Post here.

And a Big Goddamn Crossover Post here

Go! Join in the brilliant, brilliant crack.


ETA: There is now a Rahm Emanuel Friends Meme going on.

Except, well, this:

vixen_notatramp:"WE ALL NEED TO DO A FUCKING FRIENDING MEME OR SOME SHIT.

ONLY FUCK THAT 'FRIENDS' BULLSHIT. RAHM EMANUEL HAS NO FRIENDS; RAHM EMANUEL HAS WORSHIPPERS AND DEAD ENEMIES."

charlie_d_blue:"This is not a friends meme. This is a goddamn Rahm Emanuel press-gang motherfuckers."

In the interests of celebrating the appointment of Obama's Chief of Staff to the inimitably and terrifyingly awesome Rahm Emanuel, I present an old article from 2006 that explains everything Rahm is about, in the format of Chuck Norris facts adapted to politics.

( Rahm can move in and out of the body of every Democrat in the country at will, like agents in the Matrix, so that their actions can be properly controlled at all times. )

Go here for the article.

Man, I have got to stop making US politics my new fandom.

I have three singular emotions running through my mind:


1. Joy, joy, fierce, euphoric, such indescribably violent joy I cannot even - I just - joy.

Obama.


2. One giant scream of screw you to hell.

Prop 8.

How can people be so petty, so mean, so bitterly ignorant as to deny others the happiness of a union that exists as a manifestation of human love?


3. Hope.

Do we got it?
Yah.
Can we do it?
Can do.
Will we?

There's faith, then there's hope. One is a static, unwavering fixation on the joyously unprovable. The other is all momentum, a spark pushing us onward toward something just as joyous, but something that, however blurry and ill-formed about the edges, is something conceivable, something achievable, something that is more.




So that's me. What's you?

So much work to do
I don't know if I can
Trying so hard, so hard, so hard
But I'm just one man.


'Dream About Flying' by Alexi Murdoch.

Love, dreams, hope, freedom, change;

have a good election, America.

Just what? What?

The hilariously skeevy headlines of the ninemsn.com site whenever I log out of hotmail are a constant source of amusement and examples of human absurdity, but honestly, what?

I would mock this mercilessly, but I think I'm too busy laughing so that I don't cry. Oh news people, why so absurd? I mean searing? Really? I love Arnie as much as the next non-American-currently-over-invested-in-American-politics, but the guy is hardly a master of cutting and insightful political remarks.
