Am I destined to defeat her in battle someday?

In then end, the can be only one.
(And when it gets down to you and Tina Fey I'm going to be so conflicted.)

i remind you that Mell Kelly hasn't had a solo animated adventure yet. Shaenon cannot die until this happens, even if i have to instill her mind into a gaint fusion-steam powered weasel with corn guns.


.......that'd probably make it hard for her to animate though

...that'd probably make it hard for her to animate though

I assumed that's that the telepathically controlled flying monkeys would be for...

WE WANTED IT TO BE A SURPRISE.

*cough*

ARE YOU SURPRISED YET?

IF YOU ARE SUFFICIENTLY SURPRISED, PERHAPS YOU WILL HAVE OVERLOOKED OUR LACK OF A PLATFORM THIS YEAR.

LOVE, THE RNC.

Sarge, serrana, can I quote that exchange on Metaquotes? Because it is great.

Er, um, sure? Whatever Shaenon thinks? It's her electric living room, not mine....

Oh, sure.

Am I destined to defeat her in battle someday?

I'd buy tickets to see that.

I will help to rent the arena.

Ditto. :)

When the fateful day comes, I promise not to spend the first twenty minutes of the fight reading from my family Christmas letter.

You are allowed ONLY fifteen!

She'll probably be upset when you interrupt her, then. But it will give you a distinct advantage.

Is it true that, if you win, then her campaign contributers have to fund your next project?

To be sure, Gov. Palin is pleasant looking so there are worse people to end up looking like in fifteen years. Like John McCain.

...poor Joe Lieberman...

Well, at least I know who the GOOD twin is.

Oh, Earth-Three Shaenon... why can't you be more like Earth-One Shaenon?

Wait...which one is our awesome, beloved cartoonist Shaenon?

I presume she's E-1, but there's always the chance that we're actually the crazy backwards Earth, in some Twilight Zone twist.

Bizarro is so not confused.

I think you're destined to beat her in November :-p

Psst! Take some rapid-aging potion (or sit out in the sun for a good long while or something) then when you've caught up to Palin, we'll all create a distraction while YOU take her place! Then you can either sabotage the Republican party from within, or take them to glorious new heights and use McCain as your puppet leader while you rule from the shadows, your choice!

IT'S FOOLPROOF!

I second this decision!

Thirded!

Rudy Giuliani wants you to think that he hates big, "metropolitan" cities.

Aw, Rudy, it's okay! We understand that you're just bitter because we didn't let you have another term past the limit!

I almost feel better now. Almost.

Ooh, this puts you in a perfect position to star in her biopic in a decade or so.

Yes, Shae-chan! I will train you!

Rudy Giuliani wants you to think that he hates big, "metropolitan" cities.

I believe him. It explains a lot about his time as mayor here.

I'd rather live in the Earth-Three Massachusetts where we didn't elect Mitt Romney as governor. (Mitt Romney elected Massachusetts as a state? I'm confused.)

"HOLY SHIT, JOHN MCCAIN WAS A P.O.W.!!! WHY DID NO ONE INFORM ME OF THIS?"

they figured you already knew, it came up last time he put his hat in the ring.
this article from the stranger goes into it a bit http://slog.thestranger.com/2008/08/obama_and_mccain_have_daddy_issues

my parents had hoped that if we absolutely had to have a republican for president at least this one would put a stop to the torture of our political prisoners.

I suspect that bit was sarcastic...

Am I destined to defeat her in battle someday?

Joining the ranks who'd pay to see that! Especially if each side gets to bring minions. Just imagine:

Mell "Heavy Weapons" Kelly vs. John "POW!" McCain

William Bazillion vs. Mitt "Am I Worth More Than A Bazillion?" Romney

23 Skidoo vs. the Singing Senators

Dr. Narbon vs. Dick Cheney (they can have a "heh heh heh"-off)

And of course Helen versus, um, er, ebbeh, well--*nobody*. Ya think the GOP's gonna admit a member who dabbles in cloning, genetic engineering, teleportation, time travel. (And as for missile defense--well, Helen's got the death ray...)

This could be fuuuuuun... 8-)

Calm down, Beta Shaenon!

Seriously, though, you and Governor Palin are both quite pretty ladies, so you could do worse. And in case you are destined to fight, you know Mell and her arsenal.
:-)

That's encouraging. Given the way waiters always look back and forth between us, I thought maybe you were going to look like me in five years. So I get to look like Sarah Palin in ten years! But I didn't get to look like you five years ago.

Also, I really dislike SP's glasses.

Well Al Queda IS in Iraq. It just wasn't in Iraq when the war started, is all.
