On my seventh birthday, I wanted a toy fire truck, and I didn't get it, and you were real nice about it, and then the house next door burnt down, and then real firetrucks came, and for years I thought you set the fire for me. And if you did, you can tell me!

Mr. DeLay, a Texas Republican, turned his attention to social conservatives gathered at a Washington hotel and described what he viewed as the intertwined struggle to save Ms. Schiavo, expand the conservative movement and defend himself against accusations of ethical lapses.

"One thing that God has brought to us is Terri Schiavo, to help elevate the visibility of what is going on in America," Mr. DeLay told a conference organized by the Family Research Council, a conservative Christian group. A recording of the event was provided by the advocacy organization Americans United for Separation of Church and State.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?

Huh. No wonder I scored as a Satanist on that religion quiz.

Our office is officially business casual, but in practice, it's casual-casual unless the bigwigs from London are in town or I'm covering reception.

In other office news, we were just told that this Thursday will be the last massage day until the renovations are done, sometime in June or July. This is most unpleasant news.

Oh, and anyone looking for an NYC-based internship? Must have people skills.

We have two masseueses who come in once a month to give free 20-minute massages in the conference room. It's the best perk ever.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

Damn. That may even be better than the weekly 90-minute yoga class at the Big Theater. Nope, the massage is better. Want the massage.....

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Hrmm. We get free Krispy Kremes once a month. I might actually prefer the donuts, since I'd rarely go into a KK myself, and I consider 60 minutes not long enough for a massage.

I'm a big old backrub ho.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

I get tossed down the stairs once a week, and if I'm lucky, they'll stomp on my head and laugh at me.
