Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
Cake! Cake and indictments!

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

My new officemate is evil. His daugher is a Girl Scout. You know what this means. Even I, the indifferent to cookies and sweets, cannot turn down a thin mint.
I was behind a hearse today. A caddy. Model name? Eureka. There is something just odd about that.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
I wanna play this: Stubbs the Zombie: Rebel Without a Pulse
There's no shortage of video games that pit a shotgun-toting cop against an undead army. But wouldn't you much rather play as the zombie?
...
Running quips from public-address systems and the dying words of your hapless victims ("Now I'll never get into college!") keep the laughs coming at a constant clip.
And you'll need them, because the action is fairly intense. The many policemen and military types that will try to stop Stubbs' rampage through the city all have guns, so Stubbs literally has to dodge bullets to get close enough to attack them and eat their brains.
...
When you kill people, they come back to life as zombies and start attacking their former friends. You have some control over what the zombies do -- you can call them over to you or push them to get them walking in a direction -- but they'll mostly just stagger along, attacking humans.
Of course, if they defeat a human, that person will become a zombie as well. Converting enemies into zombies and letting them go into battle ahead of Stubbs is thus an important tactic, especially as the levels become more difficult.

GS cookies are not evil, they are the yum. I am down to 2 boxes, which should get me to spring.

CIA leak prosecutor Patrick Fitzgerald to ask grand jurors to indict Lewis "Scooter" Libby, Vice President Cheney's chief of staff.
Rumor has it that Rove will not be indicted today, but that the investigation into his role will continue.
I hope they start turning on each other the way Nixon's people did.

Last night's Daily Show was funny - Jon was saying how Republicans (or was it administration officials?) were eating their young. Then he did that thing where he pretended to be listening to his earpice, and said, "Wait - I'm being told that is not a metaphor.)
