Yes. yes. and yes. And more yes.

I have since disavowed GA, but god I remember thinking those Meredith/Derek elevator hook ups were the hottest thing ever.

Same reaction. I was simultaneously excited to see in something not written by Aaron "I forget how to write competent female characters" Sorkin and saddened because this show sounds like, terrible terrible.

Marry me.

I'd like to second, third, and million this. Parks & Rec for life.

Oh Lindy, you almost nailed it, except the Merriam Webster definition needs to be at the beginning and to be for "great."

Okay, earlier I joked that you were Thom Paine, but now I'm leaning towards Andrew Jackson. :)

Is that you, Thomas Paine?

Haha, my bad, I meant 1812. But it would be so funny if the Americans showed up three years late.

No joke. (and by that I mean I suspect it will be less funny for all the bloated cameos)

Pshaw. America has had a bad case of Anglo-philia for like, ever. Even after we fought a Revolution and the War of 1815, in the 1820s Americans were still total whore for British culture and style. (Especially in New England and New York)

Go, Kerry, go!

That sounds like all kinds of awesome. You should check out Lydia Maria Child (other side of the Atlantic). She was a great feminist, abolitionist, and Native American rights' activist. Also, a big fan of the French Rev ladies you read.

BWAHAHAHAHA

Preach it! All of it! I want you to stand on roof tops and shout this to the masses!
