because I really put some effort into it before deciding to avoid poking the political argument any further.... but as this doesn't actually identify any political figures or parties (because frankly there's isn't anyone in US politics that does have my respect) hopefully it won't touch off anything on its own. Just remember, it's actually talking about YOUR opponents, and sing along.
I rather expect the tune should be obvious, and yes, this is inspired by some lines in Redliners by... er... David Drake I think? The Hammer's Slammers guy.

This might be a bit redundant as Blade and Epsilon have been very regular with their updates, but chapter 21 of Hybrid Theory has been released...

edit: craptastic; I managed to misplace this post, could some admin be so kind as to relocate to update thread? I would be much obliged...

It occured to me while reading some BTVS fics yesterday that Glory is really just Faith writ large - power equal to the Sayer becomes power far greater than the Slayer, "want, take, have" is not only the first impulse but the only thoguht pattern, a dark side from past circumstances becomes a total disregard for anything but her interests and being an exiled hell-goddess, trying to find herself a place in the world (even at the cost of becoming a Minion of Evil) becomes trying to return to her home plane (even at the cost of destroying this and many others).
Not that I'm saying she's not evil, or is even redeemable (thoguh at least one fic did just that, via merging with her host and thereby accuiring a soul to balance her out some and not need to do the brain-sucky-thing, followed by intense Xander therapy, Anya having split in terror out of prior experience when she first showed her hell-goddess face) but there are possibly sympathetic traits to her character.

This song was one of Top Gear's top 5 driving songs (Highway Star & Bat Outta Hell were in the list), but it took till after I heard it used in connection with a Russel Swift stunt driving demonstration where the thought of 'this could be a power song'

... so I assume it's okay to let everybody know about this "Switch" video. Yes, it's from Doki Doki Productions. No, it isn't the Nabiki one.

I Am A Woman
-Words and Music by Helen Reddy and Ray Burton
I am woman, hear me roar
In numbers too big to ignore
And I know too much to go back an' pretend
'cause I've heard it all before
And I've been down there on the floor
No one's ever gonna keep me down again
CHORUS
Oh yes I am wise
But it's wisdom born of pain
Yes, I've paid the price
But look how much I gained
If I have to, I can do anything
I am strong (strong)
I am invincible (invincible)
I am woman
You can bend but never break me
'cause it only serves to make me
More determined to achieve my final goal
And I come back even stronger
Not a novice any longer
'cause you've deepened the conviction in my soul
CHORUS
I am woman watch me grow
See me standing toe to toe
As I spread my lovin' arms across the land
But I'm still an embryo
With a long long way to go
Until I make my brother understand
Oh yes I am wise
But it's wisdom born of pain
Yes, I've paid the price
But look how much I gained
If I have to I can face anything
I am strong (strong)
I am invincible (invincible)
I am woman
Oh, I am woman
I am invincible
I am strong
FADE
I am woman
I am invincible
I am strong
I am woman
The most direct result would probably be a similacra of the Warrior's equivalent of Wonder Woman. Though the effects might vary in different steps.
