You know, I'm getting a little tired of people who blithely criticize me while making elementary factual errors.

OK you are too young to be criticized. But what the hell are you doing defending the conservatives? Are you insane?

Turnabout and all
FYI, sadlyno.com is rated as "mature content" by Bluecoat caching, a web content filter widely used by Fortune 500 companies. The page informing me of this also kindly let me know about an impending meeting with my manager and HR.
That's because they (and their commenters) regularly use a number of the Seven Words You Can't Say On Television. The horror!
There is an increasing interest in content filtering at the corporate firewall.

Nevermind that, what the hell are you doing drinking a watermelon martini?

At my last employer we implemented Websense, and it had categories of sites that could be blocked or denied (e.g., you could allow 'sports' and deny 'pornography' so managers could still see their fantasy football league standings).
What was interesting was that you could drill down into political categories and block one side of the debate--literally, you could allow pro-life sites while denying pro-choice sites.
I would love to see a lawsuit based on that distinction being made at the corporate firewall.

You know when war-mongers say things like "So we should take our marching orders from Al Qaeda?"? That's what you're doing here.
My only blithe criticism is that your addition of watermelon flavoring to a perfectly good martini is absolutely scandalous. Stick with olive juice. Or just go dry.
Depends on whether it is a real martini (i.e., with gin, in which case it would be dreadful to add watermelon juice) or a fake one (with vodka, in whch case yo can add anything you want).

The warmongers are of course practicing a despicable technique for argumentaation.
It's no vice to tell a young woman that she is wrong/insane to be a conservative. Churchill's statement about heart and brain etc..
I am insulted when I'm asked to specify what kind of martini I want. It's almost as bad as shaking it without my permission.
megan is not a 'giant' elf in the tolkien tradition. she's probably a bit on the tall size for a female, but not much (anyone else got a copy of the chris tolkien's notes handy?).
Oh, I'm more than a bit on the tall side; I'm 6'2. And yes, all the people in that picture around me are standing.
Were you forced to drink a watermelon martini? Or was this a DC yuppy equivalent of worm eating contests?
The idea that shaking the martini does any harm is a myth -- you can't "bruise" gin. Shaking makes it colder than stirring, but it also gets little ice particles in the drink, often making it "cloudy." If you like that effect, shake. If not, stir, or shake gently. I shake mine because I like them as cold as humanly possible.
If it's a watermelon martini, a few ice shards don't mean a thing. Shake away.
A watermelon martini is like a tofu burrito.
I'm surprised no one has commented on the vicious (and completely pointless) personal attacks on Megan. This seems to be what passes for rational discourse on the part of the left these days.
