Not now!

But first, a fic rec!  It's Remus/Hermione, by casirafics.  It's R rated, and I am *still* a little weepy over it.  Certainly one of the best shorts I've ever read.

In the Turning

( Now for the 'why me' part of the post; or, I'm really scared right now )

Also, in the interest of being totally manic in my panic (rhymes!), I have a couple of new icons for the election.  They're nice and vanilla, but anti-antiChrist, of course.  No, I'm not voting for Nader, why do you ask? 

Ahahahahaha, I need to take a pain pill and try to sleep.  Yes.

PS-fucking-A

Wow.  I'm commenting here because she's drowning in comments at the moment.

I'm not surprised.  I have my own FBI file (for working at a super-sekrit government contractor and having a clearance) and one with Homeland Security, and you'd better BELIEVE this doesn't sound out of the realm of possibility.

The government knows what my brother is doing every minute of every day, and that's gotten co-workers of his in trouble (not because of him, but because of the proximity of the person to my brother, and his coworker was overheard making comments that could possibly constitute a threat to the president). 

The Secret Service does not discriminate, because the above happened during the Clinton administration (I mean, in North Carolina there are right-wing nutjobs populating nearly every square inch, right?) with a hard-right coworker of his who said, "I'd like to put a bullet between his eyes."  Yeah, I'd give that as reason enough for a visit.

anniesj is now sadder but wiser, and very sensible about giving the virtual finger to the person who reported her by refusing to let this change how she uses her Constitutional rights.

What the original reporter - the person who reported anniesj - doesn't realize is that he/she also has an FBI file as well.  Yes, if you report "un-American" activity, you receive your very own file at no additional charge (or mention).  You may not go on a no-fly list, you may never hear directly from the Secret Service again, but your name and other information are filed into the database same as the "perpetrator".  I hope they think that's an even trade-off.  *cackles evilly*
