Funny:
Alberto: President Washington, President Lincoln, President Wilson, President Roosevelt have all authorized electronic surveillance on a far broader scale.
Every nightmare I have that doesn't revolve around academic failure or public nudity is about that thing. In fact, once I dreamt that it attacked me while I was late for a test and naked.

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

To wear with those flip floppy kind of sandals with the one wide strap across the foot - those ones look like they're designed to stick out in a contrasting color, but there are others just for blister protection.

Then there's this:
BIDEN: Thank you very much. General, how has this revelation damaged the program?
I'm almost confused by it but, I mean, it seems to presuppose that these very sophisticated Al Qaida folks didn't think we were intercepting their phone calls.
GONZALES: Well, Senator, I would first refer to the experts in the Intel Committee who are making that statement, first of all. I'm just the lawyer. And so, when the director of the CIA says this should really damage our intel capabilities, I would defer to that statement. I think, based on my experience, it is true - you would assume that the enemy is presuming that we are engaged in some kind of surveillance.
But if they're not reminded about it all the time in the newspapers and in stories, they sometimes forget.

That's an interesting chart. I was just reading an article that criticized the new Accord Hybrid because it actually gets 4 mpg less than before the redesign.
My new Civic (non-hybrid) gets about 31 mpg with the combined city/highway driving I do daily, and when I was driving back from my mom's at Thanksgiving got 41 mpg on the turnpike.
