Based on the thingies they make for us, what must the Chinese think of American culture? I'm looking at my desk toys. There's a wind-up bobble-head Nosferatu, a ghost finger-puppet, and a miniature skateboard. As the diligent workers were painting the Nosferatu's fangs red and his tongue blue (why blue?), were they zoned out in their own heads or did the occasional thought go by as to "Who in the world would buy this? What are they thinking?"
I've been out of the abbey two days, I've beaten a lawman senseless, I've fallen in with criminals. I watched the captain shoot the man I swore to protect. And I'm not even sure if I think he was wrong.

Gov. Bush wants Schiavo 911 investigation
Is there some scandal brewing he wants to divert attention from? Is he just an idiot? Do you think George Sr. ever turns to Barbara and says, "This is what comes of combining our genes? Are you sure they weren't switched at the hospital?"

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Given how accelerated this faux-relationship is going, do you think Tom and Katie will have bought their first child together by sometime in late July?

Ann, that's a ferret.
Never mind that, for example, any statute of limitations probably ran long ago....

"You see? THAT's what they want. Love, and a bit with a dog."
No, not buy. Tom will rescue it. Probably from a burning building.

So Jeb is gonna put on a Batsuit and go looking for Mr. Schiavo?
