it could be that was the first thing that comes to mind because my mind is biased.

Mal: So we run. Nandi: I understand, Captain Reynolds. You have your people to think of, same as me. And this ain't your fight. Mal: Don't believe you do understand, Nandi. I said 'we run'. We.

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

In your case, that would be somebody else's face, wouldn't it?

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

And I heard a rumor around the work place that here in town we are goign to have to start rationing electricty for some reason.
Florida's on the Eastern intertie, so I can't think of any reason for electricity shortages per se. The utilities are going to send every line crew they think they can spare, so I suspect that local outages may take longer to fix.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
The looters in New Orleans are getting outrageous. Arming themselves with guns, attacking places in large groups getting in firefights with the police, harassing rescue workers and hospitals. There's going to be a massacre there pretty soon. Dumbfucks.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
The first thing that came to mind was facility with arguing, and then my brain tried to talk me out of it. I made some excellent points against myself.

Coolish thing: my firm is matching Red Cross donations for Katrina.
Wish mine was.
Ah, well, I got my receipt in case they decide to.
I'm depressed about the situation in NO. But there's plenty of blame to go around. Short-term: bad planning by the public agencies in that they didn't make any provisions to get people out of town who had no cars, all the people who could have left but chose not to because they figured it wasn't a big deal, the asshole looters (as opposed to those just trying to get food and water for their families). Long-term: oil production, wetlands loss, development of the ports, channelization of the Mississippi, reliance on oil leading to some climate change, budgetary reasons for not upgrading the levees...
What a horrifying mess. Human beings, individually, seem pretty fantastic. But occasionally I'm amazed we ever get anything done as a species.
