It's linkage cleanup time. Can't remember where I read this but I think it sums up the Twilight experience about as concisely as possible: "the dreary tale of a dreary girl inexplicably adored by vampires and werewolves."
On a more serious note, I saw this AP story updating the PA school district spying on students' laptops. It probably hasn't escaped your notice that standards at the AP, shall we saw, have gone way downhill. The headline on the laptop story was further evidence of that: Report: No spying in Pa. school laptops case. One might wonder, as I did on seeing this, just where the info came from. Turns out it comes from "attorneys hired by the district." Cos they have zero conflict of interest and there's certainly no reason they'd have to paint a falsely positive of events involving THEIR CLIENTS.
The stupid, it burns...
