This is a random post.

This week has been stupidly busy. Hopefully next week should be marginally better, and if I concentrate you might even get new Alex fic. (As in, the next chapter of Dating the Cleverest Boy in the World - try no to faint...)

Otherwise, I wanted to share 69 Politicians As They Were In High School (Al Gore, Dan Quayle and Nancy Pelosi were stunning. Elizabeth Warren & Michelle Obama were adorbz. And Mitt Romney... oh the quote is the best thing ever. And Rick Santorum... *snickers*)

Also, apparently the Romney campaign used a Venn diagram to illustrate something, and failed in understanding how they worked (now there's something to inspire confidence...). There is now a Tumblr: Mitt, Venn and Now. This one's my favourite (although go look at them all - most of them are much harder-hitting):



And finally, randomly, a fic rec, because it is the most brilliant thing ever, and there might be people out there who've not read it yet:

Just Impediment. Summary: Queen Elizabeth I is marrying a Mr William Shakespeare (no relation) and there's a mysterious blue box in the alley outside Mrs Miggins' pie shop; Edmund Blackadder is on the case.

I can't even BEGIN to describe how perfect it is. I didn't think it was possible to write Blackadder fic - this proved me wrong in the most amazing way. And the addition of the Doctor is... *waves hands* No liquids near the keyboard.

(I'd have posted a hug gif, except I can't find one and I'm running out the door, so the icon will have to do!)

I think this might actually call for an amendment to the Constitution. Requirements for running for President of the United States: natural-born US citizen, over 35, knows how Venn diagrams work.

The Founders would have included it themselves, but they didn't have Venn diagrams back than.

IKR? So sweet & innocent and with such terrible hair/clothing... ;)

And oh, the diagrams. Made my day!

The fic is perfection in every way. Am deeply delighted to have made you aware of it. (I even have an icon to match... *g*)

*SQUISH*

Excellent post all around :) Perhaps the most alarming thing I considered was how many people my age are now running government. Remembering some of them in high school does not inspire confidence...

Thank you. And yeah, I'm getting there too... It is rather worrying to see just how ordinary they used to be.

That Blackadder crossover is stupendous. So that's why he has such a beard fetish going on! Thanks for bringing it to light.

It is one of the best fics ever written. I rec it on a regular basis just to make sure that no one is missing out! :)
