SSSusan:
I'm glad you liked the phrase, Kelsey. That gives me two good ones
this week, since somebody else liked my term for
McGonagall's "character-building consequences." But it's such a
shame I can't come up with any deliciously dastardly conspiracy
theories!!! Why can't I be creative that way??
As for alternatives to "goody-two-shoes" or "good," what about the
word "noble"? Would that work? "Beneficent"? Oooh--
how 'bout "magnanimous"?
Feeling thesaurusy today,
Siriusly Snapey Susan...who voted early but not often today and who's
thrilled w/ the thought that U.S. voter turnout might top 65% for the
first time in decades!
