Simon: I'm trying to put this as delicately as I can... How do I know you won't kill me in my sleep? Mal: You don't know me, son. So let me explain this to you once: If I ever kill you, you'll be awake, you'll be facing me, and you'll be armed.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

However, there were around 85 co-sponsors to the bill, which means that there are 15 Senators or so that refused to sign a bill condemning lynching.

I kind of doubt there are senators who will approve of lynching, or who depend on the KKK vote. Jon Kyl says it's his practice not to sign on these non-binding "sense of the Senate" bills. That sounds appropriate to me. I'm not very impressed with this particular politicking. It's a little late for it.

Tell that to Mal.

I'm a little confused (and fairly uninformed about the workings of government, I admit). "Not sponsoring" here seems to be used as synonymous with "opposing" -- what's the deal with that? Do people generally sign on as sponsors if they support something?

Okay, Grant Langston's going to have to rewrite his Cameron Diaz song if she no longer looks better on his screen.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

Crap. Do any of the SFers want to come spend the day in my apartment on Thursday to let in the people who will be delivering my dish hutch and don't have any weekend hours and won't tell me anything other than they would be there between 9:00 and 6:00.

Definitely Adam Brody. Russell can brawl and Orlando can use weapons. DEFINITELY Adam.

I was going to suggest a chick list with Halle on it, but I think she'd make a lovely sacrifice/alternate hostage.
