I couldn't believe it the first twenty times you told us, but it's starting to sink in now.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
In 6th grade I did a report on James Buchanan. The only think I remember is my teacher laughing when I pronounced his name wrong.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?
Okay, two things. First, that watermark doesn't look like anything but a waterstain. What the hell? Second, I love the graffiti right next to it, "Satan Loves U"

Of course they can! You want to fix that, start buying billboards and ad time for McKinley and Taft -- don't bitch about adolescents' awareness of the world around them!
I'm very skeptical of those "Look how little people know stories." I remember one about how (low number)% of adults can name the nine justices on the supreme court. If stuff doesn't come up day to day, then you're going to forget. One's Harding and Polk administration knowledge doesn't get exercised very much.

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

Art Crawl!!!
McKinley did have a mountain named after him (but haven't we been calling the mountain Denali for a long time?)

McKinley was also assassinated; you think that might make him memorable.
Okay, yes, I only know that because of Sondheim.
I only know that because of Sarah Vowell.
I probably knew that he was assassinated when I was in grade school, but since then I'd forgotten which 19th-century presidents got shot.

shrift, will you marry me?
We'll run away together! You'll talk about math, and I will slounge and say, "Huh." And then we will let ita fight crime for us.
They can't just give up! One day your throne will be available.
The throne is vacant from whenever I leave in the evening to around 11am the next day. It's a time-share throne. They are welcome to avail themselves of it at such times when it is not in use by moi.
Speaking of thrones, I was out with friends Saturday after shopping for wedding gear, and after I broke the seal, I had to come back to the table and report, "The toilet paper dispenser is fomenting a coup d'etat. It wants to behead everyone connected with the throne."

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
Apparently no pope.
I think that was this morning's lack-of-pope.
