Random Thought

With JournalFen down for a couple of days this weekend, I was forced to go to Fandom Wank Wiki for my recommended dose of crazy and ended up re-reading the whole MsScribe wank again.  It's just so incredibly priceless, and I'd forgotten she claimed to have been fired from Joe Biden's office for writing PotterPorn.  Just think, if she hadn't been "fired" from her "job," she could have been "working" for a Presidential hopeful! 

Anyone want to take bets on whether or not somewhere, MsScribe is regaling another fandom with tales of how Joe Biden once promised her chief of staff if he ever got the White House, and how those nasty sockpuppets fundamentalists ruined her shot at being a power player in DC?

Meanwhile, back on topic: Biden's run for the nom -- Actually trying to win, or building a straw man campaign so that he can dramatically throw his support to whoever promises him a better committee chairmanship?  Discuss.

Remembering Che: The Man, the Myth, the Gulag

Here's another one I thought you all might appreciate:

Ernesto "Che" Guevara was one of the most famous media figures of the 1960s. A high-ranking Cuban official and confidante of Fidel Castro, Guevara was appointed head of a Cuban delegation to the UN in 1964 and in the process became a public celebrity.

I was going to save this for "May Day" (again--!) but decided not to play the odds. I rarely seem to win that one.
