HOIST THE COLOURS, MOTHERFUCKERS!

Heath Ledger died of an accidental overdose.

SUCK IT, EVERY MEDIA OUTLET EVER. SERIOUSLY. Because if I saw one more article trying to write him as LiLo with testosterone, I was going to lose it. Hard. Even more so when the best that anyone could do was to say that he was in the same building with that one drug that one time and didn't immediately clutch at his pearls and squeal with horror. After all, we know that drug use is so shocking and so hard to run across in Hollywood.

I watched Super Tuesday for as long as I could last night, and then I fucked off and watched a grown man play with puppets. (I squealed "I kill you!" at people all day long at work today, and I will tell you now: it was the only thing that kept me from mentioning, over and over again, how surprisingly cheap and easy napalm is to make*.) That was a good plan. Like I thought, McCain essentially has it, though Romney and Huckabee are both saying that they'll continue to scrap it out to the bitter end. The only thing that I'm really hoping from from the Republican party at this point is that McCain will choose Guiliani as his running mate rather than Huckabee (as one of my bosses thinks will happen, in order to appeal to the ultra-conservative side of the party which opposes him). I don't want that man anywhere near the presidency. I don't respect McCain nearly like I used to, but I don't think that I would suddenly wake up in the Republic of Gilead if he took over; I can't stop thinking that this would happen if Huckabee was one bullet away from being the most powerful man in the world.

(OTOH, dear McCain: son, Hillary and Barack both took time away from their dead heat campaigns to fly to Washington and vote on a bill that would have provided greater economic security for the elderly and the unemployed. You, even though you have this nomination locked up, could not be bothered. In an election where the economy is THE central issue. I'm kind of glad that you thought that this was a good plan, actually, because it puts me back to thinking that you've taken a leave of your senses rather than setting your ethical center to the side for the time being. Seriously: in what universe is that a good plan?)

Fannishly: ( Mild AI spoilers. )

Further fannishly: go to

hetfic. Vote for fandoms. Think of the smoking, smoking hot m/f that could arise from this. (Including John/Cameron, pleaseohplease.)

Speaking of John/Cameron: 50 Moments in a Fractured Time by

deepblueql. Yiiis, this is what John/Cameron is all about, equal parts sexy and creepy. Read it, read it, read it.

FOX is running New Amsterdam campaigns again, in spite of news that they stopped production after eight episodes. (Seriously, at this rate FOX really will make good on their implied threat to just cancel a new show halfway through the pilot.) So it's really going to be here soon, then? I've heard mixed things about the pilot, including one detail that is going to make me hit the roof, but after Moonlight made pretty much the worst pilot in the history of ever and then turned around to end the "season" on a note of PURE KICKASS, I really can't say that it will damn the show. I don't know that Moonlight would have been given the room to find its feet on any other network than CBS, though, so NA might be something to enjoy while it's there.

*I have jjjjust enough money to go eat at Hell's Kitchen tomorrow after I take Puppy to get his nails trimmed. I could use the reminder that the kind of day that I had today is the kind that I used to have all the time by the end of my tenure there.
