Joys of Travel

So the "painful" security procedures at JFK took about five minutes and nobody even opened my bags. (which is good, because I had to use Masterful Packing Skillz to bring back all the stuff I'd managed to acquire. it was nearly EMPTY when I CAME to New York...)

On the other hand, I had what might be the most left-wing political discussion I've ever had with my taxi driver, an angry black man. He was angry at, among other things, the President, the administration, people who watch reality TV, people who vote stupid, people who don't like hippies, and pro-lifers.

The discussion ended as such--

ABM: Now I've got one last question for you. How could George W. Bush stay president for longer than his two terms?
Me: Er, well... Martial law.
ABM: EXACTLY. All that needs to happen is another town gets bombed, maybe two, and he can suspend Congress, declare it illegal for citizens to be out after 9 PM, and move the military on his own.

He shook hands with me as we parted, clearly pleased to have met such an intelligent and reasonable person. ("No one I've asked that question has ever known about martial law right off the bat!") But I feel kind of queasy now.


Also: What is wrong with me and my deviant AU-creating brain?
-Roxas eats Sora AU, KH2 continues on schedule (RP with Li-san)
-Riku becomes Kurix AU, KH2 derails and crashes and burns
-Sora chooses Namine AU, KH2 wobbles a bit (looks to be a oneshot now)
-Crazy Hospital AU, KH2? what KH2?
-World of Warcraft AU, KH2? what KH2?

Countdown to horrible surgery: less than 24 hours.
