[...]if one of the major liberal blog sites is endorsing this in such a major way, that non-partisanship is in serious jeopardy.

So what so I see before I go to bed tonight?  The freaking President has given the event a thumbs up!

You're absolutely right, and I guess this is the problem. If it's a rally to "restore sanity" it makes sense that many people on the left of your political spectrum would endorse it. It's a reaction to the fear and ignorance narrative that the fringe-right seem to be pushing (after all, the whole point of the rally is to satirise Glenn Beck). Understandably it would be nice to avoid partisanship, but at this point it seems like the type of narrative you subscribe to is a partisan choice. The real shame is that Fox and the rest of the right-wing echo chamber will indeed use this as an excuse to delegitimise the rally because they've pushed the "Obama bad, anything Obama like also bad" narrative for so long that it's starting to stick.

Well, she's right about psychics. Bloody shysters.

Yes, I actually agree with her on that one. Possibly for different reasons, though.

These threads belong in forum games. Go take them there where the rest of us don't have to see them.

Hey, there's more.

Actions
Raise the Spine of the World
Innichanne saw one great project that she had yet to complete, and to do so she needed to raise the world closer to the heavens both metaphorically and literally. At the heart of the Misty Mountains she forced up great mountainous spires known as the Spine of the World; they could be seen for vast distances across the continent and it was said that when you ascended them, the strange magical properties of the Misty Mountains meant that you could almost float to the top, barely climbing at all.

Build the Atashkada
The Atashkada was in the truest sense a temple to all the Gods. Innichanne desired that mortals be able to entreat more readily with their masters, so she took Vaurer's Skirrin Mages and set them to build this temple at the very highest peak of the Spine of the World. There, portals could be opened to the celestial homes of the Gods. Those brave or foolish enough to try could enter the very planes that the Gods themselves resided on - though without the favour of the gods, the unwanted would surely perish.

Create the Guardians of the Gate
To protect the Atashkada, Innichanne raised an Army of beings summoned from the outer planes, and magically bound them beneath it, whence they would be summoned to protect the temple from intruders. Those attempting to enter without the permission of a God would first have to face a mighty obstacle.

Give 2 power to Vaurer Indrus As payment for use of his Order.

Actions
Found Hive Tisk and Hive Ask
Innichanne directed her attentions again to her children, their great task completed and the demilich sealed away. She commanded that two new but powerful Hives build for themselves great cities in her honour. Hive Ask was deep in the mountains and was everything typical of the Skirrin - deep beneath the mountains, ridding them with warren-like tunnel systems and delving into their depths. Hive Tisk, though, was different and new. It lay far in the cold south, almost near the great ice plains. It did not delve so deep but instead the Skirrin of that Hive took advantage of the great forests above for wood to heat and power their city. Hive Tisk represented the greatest nod to the methods and aesthetics of the other races.

The Armies Rise
But whilst Innichanne's attention was upon her new Hives, she forgot to cast her gaze over the old. The oldest of the Hives joined Ix in marshalling their forces as politics within the Council became ever more fraught. The tacit support of the Untainted in Hive Ix for the machinations of other gods and races was only made worse when Hive Rok was seized by Untainted forces from the Underwarrens. It seemed that the Skirrin were once again preparing for civil war, only this time armies would march through the Hives.

They have enough other dirt on her, this won't be an issue.

Buy Christine O'Donnell today! All the great-tasting bat**** fundamentalism of your favourite Sarah Palin, but now with reduced anti-intellectualism! (Caution, closets may contain skeletons)

But seriously, stuff just keeps popping up out of the woodwork where she's concerned. I've lost track of all the little gems like "On my first date with a witch we had a midnight picnic on a satanic altar" or "American scientific companies are cross-breeding humans and animals and coming up with mice with fully functioning human brains"

Are all the Tea Party-supported candidates like this?
