Real citation: "I'm kind of in the "damp towels" camp on the Sayid-Shannon relationship. Sayid had more chemistry with Sawyer's glasses.

"Skank" may be verboten, but I think she has behaved like a shallow, vapid, step-brother-fucker. She has some growing up to do. Whether they did it or not, I was glad to hear her say she wanted to go slow. And I'd really like to see her backstory now, to flesh out her character more.”

Made-up citation: "The ball-lessness and boneheadery of the Democratic party have been royally pissing me off--maybe a stiff drink and Matt Taibbi's new book Spanking the Donkey: On the Campaign Train With the Democrats will make me feel better."
Real citation: "Any ideas on how to correct my boneheaded mistake? And, no, the disk was not backed up - another piece of boneheadery."
