That and This

[selenak]

LJ really seems determined to drive everyone away, doesn't it? Sigh. I hate the new "feed" design.

From the trivial to the infuriating: Jeb Bush won't rule out the use of torture should he become president. Well, naturally. The amazing thing is that he admits it. But this reminds me again that Dubya, Cheney & Co. are all walking around free and wealthy and not ever threatened by being treated as war criminals, and despite of all the years of getting used to it, it's as infuriating as ever.

Oh, and some of them even are lined up to create more misery and disaster in the next administration: Paul Wolfowitz takes a swim.

Real life politics being that depressing, it's always good when fandom comes through. Have a vid rec:

Doctor Who: Survivors: joyful vid about the Companions and their post-Doctor lives and connections. Yay!

Yes, this exactly.

If no legal consequences ever, is at least some public scorn too much to hope for? But no. They're still treated as elder statesmen. *spits*

And W keeps painting his bad fanboy portraits of world leaders ...

The first time I read one of those "isn't this cute?" articles about his paintings, you could hear how I grit my teeth...

[baranduin]

the first one I saw was a self-portrait he did of himself in the shower ...

*gags*

Yeah, I had to manually switch back to my old flist layout *once again* (this time in the options) even though I had already declined to use the new thing at least twice before. I mean unless they discontinue the old design completely, they should safely assume that I do not want to switch instead of sneakily switching me now and again and hiding the switch back in ever more obscure places.
