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!
