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.

In happier political news (well, happier from my perspective): [link]
Once a masterful Republican lobbyist with close ties to the former House majority leader, Representative Tom DeLay, [Jack Abramoff] earned tens of millions of dollars representing Indian casino interests and farflung entities like the Commonwealth of the Northern Marianas Islands. Through a complicated web of financial arrangements, he helped funnel donations to his lawmaker friends' and their campaigns, and took members of Congress, mainly the Republicans in power, on lavish trips.
Now, after more than two years of investigations, prosecutors have developed a list of at least a dozen lawmakers, congressional aides and lobbyists whose work appears suspect and who are now at the core of the case. With Mr. Abramoff's cooperation, the Justice Department will have a potentially critical witness to alleged patterns of corruption or bribery within the Republican leadership ranks, which in some cases they believe also took the form of campaign donations and free meals at Mr. Abramoff's downtown restaurant, Signatures.

You'd think, but look at the election debacle of 2004.
On the other hand, look at Romania. Maybe in 22 years or so, there'll be enough results of of those Priority Pregnancies to foment rebellion!
I don't really want to wait that long...

Because I'm spaced, I just typed volkswagen santa monica for a URL, and Opera sent me to http://www.vw-sm.com/en_US/. Which is where I meant to go, after googling the terms above. But it sent me there in a straight shot.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Representative Tom DeLay
I particularly love it when Jon Stewart talks about DeLay and makes the aside, with a sleezy sexual whisper: "He's dirrrrrrty."
It's almost as much as fun as when he basically calls Robert Novak a traitorous human shitbag.
