    To cheer you up:

    "Why did the chicken cross the road?"

    Pat Buchanan: to steal a job from a decent, hardworking
    American.

    Louis Farrakhan: The road, you will see, represents the
    black man. The chicken crossed the "black man" in order to
    trample him and keep him down.

    The Bible: And God came down from the heavens, and He said
    unto the chicken, "Thou shalt cross the road." And the
    chicken crossed the road, and
    there was much rejoicing.

    Colonel Sanders: "I missed one?"

    L.A. Police Department: Give us five minutes with the
    chicken and we'll find out.

    Bill Clinton: The chicken did not cross the road. I repeat,
    the chicken did not cross the road. I don't know any
    chickens. I have never known any
    chickens.

    Dr. Seuss: Did the chicken cross the road? Did he cross it
    with a toad? Yes!, the chicken crossed the road. But why it
    crossed, I've not been told!

    Ernest Hemingway: To die. In the rain.

    Martin Luther King Jr.: I envision a world where all
    chickens will be free to cross roads without having their
    motives called into question.

    Grandpa: In my day, we didn't ask why the chicken crossed
    the road. Someone told us that the chicken crossed the road,
    and that was good enough for us.

    Aristotle: It is the nature of chickens to cross the road.

    Karl Marx: It was an historical inevitability.

    Saddam Hussein: This was an unprovoked act of rebellion and
    we were quite justified in dropping 50 tons of nerve gas on
    it.

    Ronald Reagan: What chicken?

    Bill Clinton (again): I did not cross the road with THAT
    chicken. However, I did ask Vernon Jordan to find the chicken
    a job in New York.

    Captain James T. Kirk: To boldly go where no chicken has
    gone before.

    Fox Mulder: You saw it cross with your own eyes. How many
    more chickens have to cross before you believe it?

    Machiavelli: The point is that the chicken crossed the
    road. Who cares why? The end of crossing the road justifies
    whatever motive there was.

    Freud: The fact that you are at all concerned that the
    chicken crossed the road reveals your underlying sexual
    insecurity.

    Bill Gates: I have just released "Chicken Coop 98", which
    will not only cross roads, but will lay eggs, file your
    important documents, and balance your checkbook and Explorer
    is an inextricable part of the operating system.

    Einstein: Did the chicken really cross the road or did the
    road move beneath the chicken?

    Bill Clinton (also, again): Define "cross."

    To counter some of the red tint . . .

    George W. Bush: It's a chicken, see? And that's a road. It's fer crossin'.

    Dick Cheney: Go fuck yourself.

    Donald Rumsfeld: It only took one chicken to cross that road. I told you so.

    Karl Rove: I have pictures proving that chicken laid a number of brown eggs.

No snark. Bad puppy. No. (Review stuff.)

A two star Amazon review on His American Detective: "Bodice ripper about gay men by a woman." and I'm longing to comment "don't you mean a waistcoat ripper?" God, no. Stop me. The reviews rarely rattle me any longer -- except when I spot a truth in a bad one. When that happens, I actually lose sleep. This means I still care about writing.  Speaking of reviewers and writers: A couple of days ago, a writer said she was tired of getting white ladies writing reviews of her books. She had an excellent point in the long run: her stories are meant for a particular audience and she wants them to resonate with those people and get more reviews from them.  But that first line was just....horribly obnoxious. I say this from my POV of course. Not a white lady who writes reviews -- but as a review grubber.   Anyone who disses any reader (especially ones that give honest reviews) deserves to be cast into the pit of being ignored.

I can't stay away from the subject of Sarah Palin. I've been looking at the trashiest stories, too. Nothing to do with her stands on important issues (or if Alaska's proximity to Russia means she's got experience with foreign issues). Some of my conclusions from the wading into useless dreck: She's far better looking than she was when she did sportscasting. Say what you like about her, I think she's pretty. She's probably got the sort of charisma that gives me the willies. A lot of people who are considered inspiring make me want to escape their presence. A form of jealousy? A sense of inferiority? Maybe. Anyway, from the reports I've read, she's supposed to be the sort of person who makes you feel as if she's listening to you and cares about your opinion. She's got a room-filling presence. Eeearrrgh. All of that sounds just like what they said about Bill Clinton. I never particularly paid attention to the fact that Hillary is female--sure
