    I’m pretty sure they meant that they want someone who will approach tasks with velociraptors. And if I mention velociraptors, I’m pretty sure that Intertubes law requires me to link to this.

    There might be a potential chance that they could conceivably receive a possible award from the World Tournament of Hedging.

    Somehow I knew that the failrightbloggers were going to immediately insist that the terrorist was a leftist, once I heard that he was suspected to be a RWNJ.

    And really, who wouldn’t expect violent terrorism from left-wingers, who are always threatening to resort to “Second Amendment remedies”, or carrying guns to peaceful rallies, or making gun-themed fundraisers, or firing handguns near helpless prisoners. Oh wait…

    The only way I would take cooking advice from McMegan is if she proved that she could do basic arithmetic. Knowing that 3!=4 is important in many recipes.

    I’m personally more of a fantasy guy than science fiction, but I enjoyed John Scalzi’s Old Man’s War. If you’ve ever heard of Starship Troopers by Heinlein (which I have also read), it’s like that, only with less fascism and more updated tech. Also in the process of reading Consider Phlebas by Iain M. Banks, and it’s pretty fun.

    Lastly, it’s a bit OT, but on the non-SF side of things, I just want to state, for posterity, that I fucking love James A. Michener’s historical novels. Thank Cod for parents with open minds and open bookshelves.
