Power, sistah.

Marry me.

[randomways]

Only if you promise to love, honour, and devour mine enemies. That is to say, love and honour me, devour them.

*snuggles* Tis okay. I just get frustrated with political posturing. It's like clockwork. Or, perhaps, like the Tell-Tale Heart, the constant predictable pulse reminding us of the murder of our ability to think rationally and behave like decent human beings.

I could be wrong in every case, but I doubt it. Past that, I meant nothing I didn't say, and certainly not that people shouldn't air their opinions (not something I'm likely to say, after all, as most people know) or look for accountability. I've not now, nor am likely to, publicize to anyone who reads my LJ what I think about the latter issue. This entry was simply meant to be epithetic in nature, as LJ entries often are (I take my cue from the brilliantly-epithetic

I thought my wording was fairly precise, wording I attempted to clarify with Snacky. Interpretation past that is out of my control and, I think, manifestly unfair to me.

Hope you're having fun.
