Oh heck, I totally did, and was that his name? I just kept calling him President White-Guy NotObama.

I just can’t imagine the scene, though.

Sam, upset over how many innocent people he couldn't save from the demons possessing them, there were just too many and the swarmed him and he couldn't get the exorcism out, and Ruby comes in to find him standing there surrounded by bloodied victims, knife dripping, and tells him... I don't know if you wanna try it, but there might be a way your psychic abilities could help...

It wouldn't be drinking blood right off the bat, but after a few minor successes and even more painful failures, she'd suggest maybe doing something to boost his power level just a bit, just until he learned to control it himself...

And he'd hate it and would tell her no, but she had time, and she waited until it seemed better than watching other innocent people die. She'd say "just a drop," or "just this once," and he'd cave. I mean, remember she'd also been seducing him in other ways, and the more he fell into her orbit, the more pliable and suggestible Sam became. And then once he had it once, he'd think it wasn't so bad, and it was EASY to save everyone now. He could actually threaten demons directly now. And Dean still wasn't there, and Ruby was, and Sam was doing the best he could with what he was left with, right? Because at the end of the day, that's what Sam will do, whatever he thinks it will take to save as many people as he possibly can.

He was at a point where he was literally tallying up the people he saved vs the ones he couldn't. He was DESPERATE to not be evil, you know? And his metric for not being evil was the human beings who could live their lives because of him.

tell us about Luke 2:41-50 ok, so this is the passage I’m reading over, for that week’s program (boldfaced mine): 41 Now every year his parents went to Jerusalem for the festival of the Passover. 42 And when he was twelve years old, they went up as usual for the festival. 43 When the festival was ended and they started to return, the boy Jesus stayed behind in Jerusalem, but his parents did not know it. 44 Assuming that he was in the group of travelers, they went a day’s journey. Then they started to look for him among their relatives and friends. 45 When they did not find him, they returned to Jerusalem to search for him. 46 After three days they found him in the temple, sitting among the teachers, listening to them and asking them questions. 47 And all who heard him were amazed at his understanding and his answers. 48 When his parents[a] saw him they were astonished; and his mother said to him, “Child, why have you treated us like this? Look, your father and I have been searching for you in great anxiety.” 49 He said to them, “Why were you searching for me? Did you not know that I must be in my Father’s house?”[b] 50 But they did not understand what he said to them.

I think the pattern is, you're pretty darn good at writing first lines - look at how neatly you set scene, establish conflict, create reader interest, all in a sentence or two.

“House GOP rules package bars CBO from counting spikes in deficit spending spurred by an ACA repeal.” -- @keithellison

Wait, what? The House rules package prevents the CBO from... counting?

Indeed, it is so, says Fox News:
